No matter how much I would like to avoid this situation, it had to get revealed at some point. I could even guess that in the coming few minutes, someone would touch my shoulder again only to lead me back to the Venna's private lounge.
While I could hear the announcer's voice stutter a bit while he realised who he just announced, but what was started couldn't just get stopped. No matter how great the commotion erupted after his words, both the male cultivator and my beloved simply stood against each other, bowed slightly and pulled their weapons out.
Unable to think about the current situation while focusing on the match itself, I simply decided that there will be sometime later on when I could decide on the best course of action, while I won't be able to rewatch how skillfully my fiancee would secure her position in the tournament.
Ignoring the peoples whispers, shouts and exclaims, the arena horn announced the start of the duel.
