Chapter 278: Always the pathetic brother
Cedric had successfully stolen the limelight again for the wrong reasons. The first duel of the second half is the battle between the husband and the lover. The whispers went around in hush tones.
Everyone was anticipating the match although they all had an idea how this would end. Karissa made her way back to the booth sparing Abrielle a glance before she scoffed.
The former holy lady didn’t comment and only shrank on her seat, her fingers playing together to ease the tension while she gently tapped her feet under her dress layers.
She was nervous and anxious. She heard all the whispers and felt the unsettling gaze. How did she become the slutty wife that toyed with two brothers? Abrielle asked herself. Still, she kept a straight face to hide whatever feelings or intentions she had.
When it came to Alfonso, she had complex feelings. He was blackmailing her, yes, but that didn’t mean she was going to enjoy him being completely humiliated. What was wrong with her? She felt pity for the person that was making her life hell.
The crowd roared louder, the officiator making his way to the centre then his voice echoed. "WELCOME TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE DAY. I KNOW WE ARE ALL EXCITED FOR THE DUEL." he started pumping the crowd.
Rebecca, who was seated in the Nightshade booth, eyes trailed to Abrielle, who had a serene expression on her face. "This Duel is getting too dramatic and I don’t like how Abrielle is in the middle of everything."
"The poor girl probably didn’t ask for this." Ava sighed at Rebecca’s side and the men didn’t say anything.
"THIS IS A MATCH OF HONOUR, AND IN THE SPIRIT OF THE FESTIVAL, MAY THE SECOND HALF COMMENCE... PRESENTING THE FIRST CONTENDERS, THE FIRST PRINCE OF OUR BELOVED KINGDOM, HIS HIGHNESS CEDRIC VON DRAKKAR, WHO WILL BE GOING AGAINST THE THIRD PRINCE, HIS HIGHNESS ALFONSO VON DRAKKAR... MAY THE BLESSING OF THE GODDESS BE WITH THEM " the officiator’s voice rang throughout the arena.
