Once the two rulers left the arena, I dropped to the ground and just laid there. That one fight was draining, it's been a while since I had such a serious match. Both of the boys looked worriedly at me, before taking a seat on the dusty ground, on either side of me.
"I didn't think that Emperor Alexander would be such a cold man, however, it fits his position," I mumbled out while looking at the stirred-up dust particles. Raymond, who was on my left, chuckled lightly that the phrase. Not even bothering to look in his direction, I just continued to watch the light rays.
"He.. isn't the one to trust easily. Nonetheless, I could tell he was interested in you. You perk many people's interest, by just picking up a blade, but also by your personality." I sat right up and turned my head in his direction before looked quickly to my right, where Elias was watching both of us, carefully.
