The Doctor Cured The Villainess And Ran Away

"I hereby declare the opening of the Duel Trial! The officiator is none other than the Empire’s Second Princess—me, Lauga von Württempelt!"

With Lauga’s chirpy shout, the curtain drew open.

Asella and I stepped into the bright arena lights without hesitation.

"Young master, your shield’s slipping."

"It’s just heavy. Don’t worry—once the duel starts, I’ll hold it properly."

Asella snorted, lifted her staff, and strode forward.

Her tightly bound blonde hair swayed with her steps.

She wore a specially-prepared magical outfit for dueling. From afar, with the skirt fluttering like that, she looked like a tiny fairy.

I held a large shield and a short sword. My armor was light plate. It didn’t offer much protection, but the mobility was excellent.

"At least you didn’t chicken out, Asella! That I’ll praise!"

From the opposite end, Georg marched in, clad in ornate full-plate armor covered in elaborate engravings.

From head to toe, everything on him was enchanted—a full legendary-grade set.
