Chapter 260: Her first fiance
The third day of the rose duel was rather spectacular. The audience was cheering as they watched them take down the ghoul, just like the first day. There was an increased difficulty though, no horses and the ghouls were of a higher rank
Yet the knights finished in triumph, although some fell and had to be saved by the organizers. Abrielle was in the royal booth watching everything with a bored expression. She had to leave the duel early to attend an old club meeting with her mother later. She hopes there will be no unnecessary drama happening there
A roaring cheer echoed from the audience; Abrielle’s eyes went to the centre of it all, where the victor stood jubilating after finishing off his ghoul. The lost soul slowly turned into ash.
A soft smile etched her lips, she clapped her hands together. She had to since the knight was Sebastian; just like in the original story, Sebastian stayed in the duel until the fourth, where he was eliminated during the one-on-one duels. Lucian showed no mercy to him.
Sebastian was gorgeous without a doubt, jealousy written all over the faces of the ladies who wanted the former priest to present his rose to them, but unfortunately, he was walking straight to the villainess to give it to her.
Sebastian got up to Abrielle and gave a slight bow to Abrielle. "For the princess. I am glad you showed up today." He chimed giving her the single rose stalk
"Thanks, your performance was spectacular." Abrielle praised him while accepting the rose. Its bright colour shines under the lights.
"It is nothing compared to how your husband left the crowd speechless yesterday," Sebastian replied, Abrielle felt no pressure talking to Sebastian. It was perfectly okay to accept flowers from family members in her opinion.
"I guess I missed a lot then. But honestly, Sebastian, I think you should give your rose to another fair lady. There are a lot of girls that meet the eyes." Abrielle suggested bringing the rose to her nose. It was strong and a bit intoxicating.
