How could people change their side so easily?! I was a prince who was supported by almost every powerful family. But after I lost at sparring with Francis, everyone dared to leave me and took his side.
My defeat became a hot gossip between nobles. People started to talk behind my back and mocking us silently. They talked about how I, a prince from the Ashford family, lost to a lowborn prince that just learned how to hold a sword.
And I, I could only gritted my teeth, holding in my anger to avoid a scene.The Ashford family and I lost our power and influence. People dared to talk behind our back and thought that we were nothing.
This was such a humiliation! I wouldn't let you go easily Francis. I would make you suffer for daring to take away something that was mine!
