Holy Sword Tournament Arc II

(POV: Lumiere)
In the night, an air of secrecy infused the room as Stellaria, Serena, Isadora, and I gathered around the cozy confines of the bed, our voices hushed in intense conversation.
I revealed to them my plan: ordering Umbra, my ruthless summon, to execute Duke Veltuor.
The moment those words escaped my lips, a symphony of reactions unfolded before me.
Isadora's brows shot up in astonishment, her eyes widening in disbelief.
"You... you actually commanded Umbra to take the Duke's life?" Her voice hid excitement behind its shock.
Serena's face was a painting of astonishment, her cobalt eyes shimmering like moonlit waters.
"So, that means the threat against the crown prince has been eradicated," she murmured softly, a hint of relief coloring her words.
Amidst the chorus of reactions, Stellaria's confusion was palpable, her mind struggling to grasp the gravity of the situation.
