Chapter 274: His objective
Karissa almost cried, her eyes watered like a heavy load was lifted from her shoulder. "I told you he would be fine." The royal concubine praised. Her heart swelled with pride, her hand reaching out to wipe the tear that threatened to fall from the corner of her eyes
"That was a marvellous duel, nothing but just breathless for a moment. I thought Alfonso was not going to win," Marinette admitted. ..
"I also had the same fear, but in the end, everything worked out great." Karissa’s gaze never left Alfonso for a second. Her nails almost pierced through her skin during the battle
Alfonso dismounted, raising his lance in victory. His eyes drew to Abrielle’s direction, something Cedric’s very keen eyes didn’t miss. His smile still grew wider. "That was an interesting match." The first prince chimed.
"I should get ready for my duel," Axel mentioned before retreating. He didn’t have eyes as good as Cedric’s but knew the Prince was in an odd mood, one Axel knew too well. Cedric’s cheerful mood suddenly plummeted. Cedric’s murderous intent was already leaking out.
"Don’t lose too badly. My reputation is also on the line." Cedric said in a fleeting moment.
Axel bowed slightly, then left the waiting room, leaving only Cedric, who stood next to the glass wall watching.
The door was closed, the prince smirked, and the temperature plummeted several degrees down. "Patience is an important virtue, Cedric." He told himself.
And in that moment, Abrielle knew this was not just a duel. This was a warning. Her blue eyes met his hazel eyes. Alfonso was playing right into Cedric’s hands.
