I look out the window and finally see the sun coming up. Today I have the match with Vincent although he didn't agree to it but he won't refuse me at least not in front of everyone. I get back to the bedroom and head for a bath - a warm bath. After half an hour I walk out finally feeling the calm in my nerves.
I quickly change into my sparring outfit and head out the door but before I could reach the stairs, I sight Elisa running in the direction of Vincent's room.
The sight makes my blood boil for some reason. Guess I was right they were involved with each other.
Then why the hell did she perform what she did last night?
What was she trying to achieve ? Did he ask her to get something from me ? I couldn't help but laugh and the thought I nearly fell for her little tricks. I would have to ensure that never happens again.
I head to the arena, trying my best not to think about that little " witch " - Darn it ! I just did.
The arena is expectantly silent and that's exactly what I need at the moment. Soon I hear chatter and noise along the hallway as guards start to flood in to watch the Rumble.
I drift my fave to the entrance and it's caught by a guard who seems to be laughing at some ' joke ' - pisses me off . He suddenly looks panic-stricken and gets all sweaty. I ignore the disgust hanging up my throat and bow my head as the arena gets silent again.
Soon the ' Rumble ' begins and the arena gets noisy but ther8still no sign of Elisa or Vincent. The thought of what they were doing together puts me in a serious mood to draw blood.
Soon I percieve a fragrance like that of roses and orchids in bloom. It's faint but I can't miss it not even in the midst of the filthy stench of sweat and blood.
I instinctively turn my gaze toward the entrance. She enters with Vincent, they sure have guts. He pulls her closer to him and right now I feel like I could almost taste his blood in my mouth, or is it mine ?
Vincent walks ahead of her and takes a seat but she remains there standing like she's lost in thought. I'm about to go up to her but he calls out to her first.
" Elise . . . Elisa ", she doesn't seem to notice to notice him for a while and her cheeks are getting all red - Is she I'll ? Did last night really cause much more damage than I expected ? She finally goes over and sits beside Vicent. I watch her every movement, my eyes refusing to blink for a second,my blood boiling from every inch she takes closer to that man. She pauses for a while then steals a glance at me.
I try to focus on the match, staring intently at the stage. My mind couldn't stop thinking about how to make Vincent pay for laying hands on what's mine. I feel her stealing glances at me but I choose to ignore it after all she decided to sit with another man.
The match seems to be drawing to an end so I decide it's time to maje my move. I get up and walk slowly towards the ring making every step down count as I apprach with a decisive smirk on my face.
The roars and whispers die down as I move ans everyone pays attention to my every movement. Well, of course after all - I'm King
My eyes dart about for a while before meeting Elisa's.
" No need for unnecessary complimentaries. I want to challenge my guest to a sword fight. Of course he won't refuse me, would he ? " I glate at himnot in the least trying to hide my intentions.
" Of course, Your Highness. How can I refuse when His Highness wills ?" he says with a confident smile but it won't last long. I stesl a glance at Elisa and she looks confused as expected.
Vincent stands close to me until he is handed a sword and we both take steps back. Soon the match begins.
I have the upper hand, my moves obviously more skilled than that of Vincent's and he seems to constantly be on the defense while I take offence not giving him a chance to breathe intending to end this match quickly. I turn my head to look at Elisa and prove to her that I am the strong and her standing by Vincent would do her no good . But just as I look in her direction, I see her looking at Vincent in worry.
What ? Is that how much she cares about him ? What about me ? But before I could compose my self Vincent attacks and I loose my balance. He points his sword at but I refuse to loose this fight so I tackle him and he stumbles. I get up quickly and direct my sword for his throat. My sword just an inch away and I really want to kill him but that'll be going against my principles of not killing an innocent.
He raises his hand in surrender but my victory doesn't bring me joy as I couldn't help but remember Elisa's expression during our match.
Damn woman !
" You remind me of someone I used to respect " , I whisper to Vincent.
Vincent immediately undestands that he was talking about his brother ' him ' but he holds back his emotions.
" ' Used to? ' Why not anymore"
" He's a coward "
Vincent stiffens and smiles like nothing was wrong.
I look up and spot Elisa walking down, she probably want to see if Vincent is alright. Her expression during the match still clings to my mind refusing to let go.
I so want to kill this mine. I mean coveting the Alpha's wife is a crime right? I walk pass her intentionally bumping her shoulder but not even sparing her a glance.
The match soon comes to an end and everyone begins to leave but they both remain seated intending to spend time alone. I get up and leave unable to swallow the anger for long.
Why am I angry? Probably because an outsider is laying hands ony property. She belongs to me !
I leave the venue but after a while I decide to retreat so I could confirm my suspicions and just as I thought I see them embracing each other. I quickly leave finally seeing the proof of their affair for myself.
I'm gonna show her that I'm not to be triffled with. How dare she do those thing
s to me and still get so close to another man. They are all liars !
