Chapter 26: Fiesty but foolish
Cedric was a bit stunned when Abrielle accepted the challenge. With her petty frame, he doubts she has ever held a sword before in her life.
"Someone should get the princess a sword." He chimed. Abrielle’s eyes were on him; she didn’t need him to take off the mask for her to know that he was looking down on her. It was all in his eyes.
She might be a scheming, vicious lady with no talent in magic, but one thing she knew how to do was never give up, and that was what led to her death.
Abrielle never gave up on her obsession with Cedric and subsequently got married. She never gave up on making the female lead life a living nightmare, and that also subsequently led to her death.
Someone presented a sword to Abrielle, which she readily accepted. Fighting with a sword couldn’t be so hard, but for a weird reason, she felt like she had dug her own grave because of the looks she was having from the onlookers.
Pity was filled in their eyes but that wasn’t enough to make her give up. ’ You can do this, just think about the delicious food and the warm baths. He is the final boss you have to defeat.’ Abrielle encouraged her as she wrapped her hands around the hilt of the sword.
Cedric had a wide smirk on his first and he was kind enough to announce his attacks. "Ready or not, here I come." His voice rang, and just like a ghost, he dashed towards her. His footwork was so fast she could keep up with it.
Her eyes were watching his movements, and he was attacking from the front; her plan was simple: she had some powders with her, which she would spray on him to distract him while she attacked.
He was almost in front of her and he didn’t look like he was holding back. Abrielle’s hold on the sword tightened. She was about to lift the sword from the floor to block his attack, but why was the sword so heavy that it was difficult to swing it around?
