Kathy had rushed to the training ground s where Dylan would be fighting, she wondered if he could fight like prince Damian, fighting was just fighting right no true strength would be revealed. For what reason. Since she didn't want anyone recognizing the human princess she wore a cloak covering her face a little. Nevermind that she has to make him take her to yelgra no matter what. There's no way she was going to stay here without him, she won't last
She was surprised to see the place crowded , was it a big deal that the prince was training with his guards. Her maids felt scared being in the midst of this crowded Althreaze people. What if they took notice of them and decided to use them as a scapegoat. But Kathy was more interested in Dylan and his duel, wondering why it had too many attentions
Right now Dylan was upset, why so many people was here? What was the big deal fighting a guard. Damian must have faced many humiliations for this many people to be here. He didn't want to fight him, he had just wanted to be left alone was that too much to ask.
" I think I need to warm up, a little." He told Orion and the guy just nodded
Dylan went out of the ring , glaring at the people there, they all moved back seeing his frowny face. He went to meet Gilbert.
" Your highness don't worry, don't be scared, maybe if you'd just let them accompany you to yelgra this wouldn't continue." Gilbert looked at the prince worried. He was actually worried about himself if the prince loses he'll put his frustrations and anger on him. Torturing him with hot iron straight from the fire for no reason.
" That's admitting defeat, I can't do that. There are too many people here get rid of them." He turned to go but his eyes caught the king. Even the king was here! Was it this serious? ." Nevermind just let them be." He left Gilbert confused, Gilbert looked at the direction Dylan had looked and his eyes widened. The king, the whole royal family were here?
Dylan went back to the ring sighing? Fighting without killing can't be that hard right.
" Your highness don't be too worried, I'll go easy on you , your daddy's here." There was a hint of mockery in Orion words making Dylan gritted his teeth.
How was he supposed to try and not kill him if he keeps running his mouth like that. If he defeat him it's very likely the king would grew suspicious of him. If he loses he needed to learn how to keep his cool when they leave for yelgra. Nevermind that now, if he loses he'll just kill them in yelgra they're going to regret ever wanting to assist him to anywhere.
The duel starts. Orion leaped forward clashing his blade with Dylan's in a brutal force. That caught Dylan by surprise, he had expected the man to be this strong. Soon blades clashing was heard as the crowd grew quiet. Kathy finally pushed her way to the front missing her maids in the midst of the crowd.She looked at Dylan fighting and she prayed nothing goes wrong
Orion was skilled in battles his movement swift and light . He pushed forward attacking Dylan while Dylan focused on defending but just now defending wasn't going to be the trick. Orion was pushing him, he was testing him and he knew what he was doing. He was trying to make Dylan have no choice but to attack him back.
Dylan using just defending tactics wasn't working, Orion was strong he's plan was working and he started attacking him back. Orion plunge his swords forward and Dylan dodged it flawlessly. But Orion didn't pause there he strike his leg forward for a kick again Dylan dodged it. He was really testing his patience. And before he knew it the fight got a little serious, he seems to be enjoying it. He liked the way Orion was fighting and he soon got carried away
Everyone thought that Damian had gotten really good at fighting up till now Orion hadn't mange to strike him which had never happened before. Damian always dodged or counter it. The speed he was showing was startling he might even be faster than Orion
The royals too were surprised, Damian had improved a lot, his stance, his calculated movement His strike so precise. Guess all those fighting had finally paid off
Orion strike forward using a bit of his powers to push forward trying to push Dylan out of the ring. He succeed in pushing him back to the edge but Dylan suddenly stopped moving back. He tried to push him but to no avail , he looked at Dylan only to see him smiling before he knew it Dylan twisted and kicked him trying to make Orion fall out of the ring instead luckily for Orion he avoided the fall summersulting out of the way .
Orion smirked, the prince sure had improved he was even trying to trick him. Dylan swung forward clashing with Orion's blade , then he too started moving forward using the same tactics he just used. Orion was startled he couldn't push him. Dylan effortlessly pushed him forward , Orion couldn't push him back which surprised him so he had no choice but to remove his sword getting out of the way.
Dylan attacked him snapping him out of his dazed state at the type of strength Dylan just displayed. Now it was Orion's turn to just defend, Dylan wasn't letting up for even a second he was fast , too fast and Lord this strength Orion couldn't begin to understand if this kind of strength existed. Dylan succeeded in kicking Orion , he didn't intend it but it was a very strong kick pushing Orion back with force but Orion refused to be kicked out of the ring
That kick had surprised every one including the royals. Was Orion going easy on the prince? They all thought but skilled fighters like the royals and even the other guards knew that Orion was battling with Damian's strength.
Kathy was getting worried was he trying to get caught. The murmurers was getting her uneasy. Someone tapped her making her flinch . She was surprised to see Zain again
" Zain!" She exclaimed smiling
" My princess, you've been well." He smiled back
" Oh my God I thought I'd never see you again." She moved closer to him
" I'm happy to see you, how have things been. Is the prince treating you well?" He asked
" Well he hasn't done anything bad to me yet." She answered
" Yet?" He pretended
" I hear rumours too you know." They both laughed
Dylan had heard Kathy voice, even in the midst of the crowded noise, when she had said Zain, he was startled he turned to the direction of the voice and saw her. Orion used the opportunity to try and strike him but Dylan held his hand still looking at Kathy. Imagining that it was zain's neck he twisted the hand making Orion drop his sword.
Orion saw that Dylan wasn't even looking at him , he looked distracted yet he was able to hold his hand like it was instinct. He looked and saw the human princess talking sweetly and smiling at Zain. Dylan hand tighten on Orion's hand twisting it savagely.
" Hell man, are you seriously jealous in the middle of a fight." Orion hand's hurt he tried to release his hand but Dylan refused to let him go
This was getting out of hand for Orion. The prince was strong very strong, but he wouldn't just let his life span get cut short because Damian doesn't want a baby sitter anymore.
" You're going to use opportunity and swing me to the ground and end this fight immediately." Dylan's cold voice was heard, it was an order and he looked serious catching Orion off guard. What?
