Chapter 17 - challenging the new queen

Cuan laughed and walked towards Huli and Kaida. He himself was in the North during the war, he knew that Huli was a worthy opponent. Apart from the stories about Kaida, he has never seen her on the battlefield. 

He wondered why people in the south talked about a real warrior like the early queen and in the north people talked about a weakling who hid herself in the South during the war.

"King and Queen greetings again, In honor of your marriage I would like to play a drinking game "

Huli raised his eyebrow and looked at Cuan, who was standing there with his sneaky smile. Just when he wanted to decline his invitation, Kaida opened her mouth

"how nice! I was afraid that we could only watch while other drinking games were played. Take a seat! "

He sat down on his  knees in front of them. Kaida called Rei and whispered something in her ear. Rei nodded and walked away.

"I will be so free to choose the game, after all, it is my wedding day"

there was a glint in Kaida's eyes.

Huli sighed

"since my queen wants to play, I give her the honor and I will watch"

he had no intention of participating and actually didn't want to waste words on Cuan.

Rei arrived with Kyro and koto. Kyro carried a wooden barrel over his shoulder and Koto had a small table in his arms. Koto put the table between Kaida and Cuan and kyro put the barrel beside Kaida. Rei placed two small glasses on the barrel.

Cuan looked surprised at Kaida

"it looks like you've already chosen the game. May I ask what is in the barrel?"

"Yes we are going to armwrestle, the loser drinks two shots of liquor from the barrel. Since it is a liquor brewed in the dragon tribe and you are not familiar with it, we will keep it at two shots"

He laughed, does she think I can't handle it? It's just a drink!

"How many shots does the loser normaly drink?"

Huli looked at Kaida and was also curious about the answer. She smiled and took the glasses from the barrel and poured liquor into them. She gave one to Cuan

"That depends on who is playing it varies from five to ten shots."

She raised her glass and took a shot. "Cheers"

Cuan took the glass and took a shot

"cheers."

Cuan coughed loudly and grabbed his throat. It was as if his throat was on fire. What kind of liquor is this? And I have to drink two of these if i lose?

He looked at Kaida. She smiled at him. Why does it seem like she has been drinking water?

"Let us indeed leave it at two. This is a liquor like no other! "

Kaida took her glass and poured liquor into it again and gave it to Huli. Even though it had only been a second, she had noticed that his facial expression changed when he saw Cuan's reaction from the liqour.

Huli looked at the glass and took a shot. His throat started to burn. It was because  he was used to the liquor brewed by the fox tribe otherwise he will have the same reaction as Cuan. No wonder she kept nagging for good drinks.

"Shall we begin"

Kaida put her elbow on the table and held her hand open and looked at Cuan

He puts his elbow on the table and took her hand

"as long as you don't blame me if you're too drunk on your wedding night"

Rei came and stood beside them, checking their arms and hands.

" ready Set Go"

Before Cuan realized, his hand laid flat on the table. He looked at Kaida in surprise. Did I underestimate her? What was that brutal force that i felt? This was certainly not a weakling!

Rei walked over to him and gave him a glass of liquor. When he had drunk two shots, he was already light in his head.

"again!"

Cuan and Kaida had already played ten rounds and he had not won one round. Huli could tell that Cuan was drunk and gestured to the first general of the wolf tribe to come.

"Crown Prince Cuan I think it is high time to go back to your resting chamber"

Cuan looked up and spoke with a double tongue

"no, I'm having a good time! I can play another round and this time I win! "

Kaida laughed

"it was my pleasure and I enjoyed the game but it has been two hours since our wedding ceremony. And it is customary for the bridal couple to go to their bridal room now "

With the help of his first general Cuan stood up

"I hear that a fighting tournament is being held during the annual fox festival, count on my participation Queen!"

Huli stood up and handed out his hand to Kaida

"then we shall see you there crown prince Cuan, it was an honor to have you at our wedding"

he was convinced that Cuan had lost the first time because he had underestimated her strength The other losses were due to the fact that he was already under the influence of the liquor.

Kaida took huli's hand and stood up

"it was my pleasure and I look forward to your participation in the fight tournament"

Huli and Kaida walked to the wagon while the guests threw flowers in their path. Huli helped Kaida in the wagon and got in. The wagon drove off towards the palace

Okuri raised his glass and said to the guests

"let's drink at the wedding couple. The night is still young, let's celebrate their wedding exuberantly! "
