Emily couldn't contain her excitement as she rose from her seat, clapping joyously and streaming tears of happiness down her cheeks.
Overwhelmed by the duel's outcome, she hurried over to Noah while the other spectators looked on in surprise, expecting a lengthier battle that ended sooner than anticipated.
Showing their respect for Noah's victory, the knights stood up and bowed slightly but refrained from clapping to avoid disheartening Eric.
Meanwhile, the second-in-command knight remained composed, quietly leaving the training ground as Damon approached to assist him in removing his armour.
Emily embraced Noah tightly, peppering his cheeks with kisses.
"I knew you would win! I knew it!" she exclaimed.
The knight, holding her, replied, "I thought I would never see you again."
Breaking off the hug, the young woman held Noah's hand tightly and said, "How can you say that?! Didn't I give you my lucky kiss before?"
