Chereads / The Princess Valet / Chapter 9 - The duel (part 1)

Chapter 9 - The duel (part 1)

The city is bustling with countless people, whether they are a local of Cluster Ruins continent or not.

There's even more odds in the brothel now and many people still bet on it, many spent fortune just for Tyler to lose.

It is also said that Luciano doesn't even take Tyler as a worthy opponent and when someone asked him if he's nervous about the duel, Luciano replied "I won't even break a sweat to defeat him, I just thought he's unworthy of being the princess valet"

Meanwhile, in the princess chamber, Aurora had been going up and down in her room since she woke up.

"Princess, don't you have faith in Tyler's strength? moreover the person you are worrying about doesn't even seen to care about the duel" Bella said because her eyes is already feeling dizzy from Aurora patrolling up and down.

"I still can't understand the reason why he's not nervous, he is going to face Luciano yet he's so calm" Aurora lamented.

"if he's so calm then you don't have to worry, he had a trump card with him" Bella advised.

"I'll believe that for now" Aurora said and walked out toward Tyler's place in her yard.

She saw Tyler sitted on that old chair as usual, he seemed like someone that doesn't even care about whatever is going on out there.

She walked to him and sat gently beside him, "Tyler, why aren't you nervous?"

"Because it doesn't worth it"

"But you are going to fight Luciano,the strongest man ever"

"And who said the strongest man ever can't be defeated, it's just a matter of time"

All the reply he gave Aurora made her believe in his strength a little but still, she still doubt him.

Did he truly have the strength to defeat him?

"What if you can't defeat him?" she asked.

"Then I'll follow the rule" he replied simply.

Aurora face fumed, this bastard actually didn't care for his life.

"you can't die!!" Aurora said loudly and walked back to her room.

"Idiot" is the word Tyler said.

To him, Aurora is just wasting her breath, he had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young, how could he lose to the so called strongest man ever.

He stood up and excuse himself, he left the imperial palace completely and moved toward the appointed battle stage as his white hair danced.

His appearance caused a lot of attention as everyone knew that there's no young man with white hair apart from Tyler Wills.

As soon as Tyler reached the place, he made his way up and stood silently by the side waiting for the 'strongest man ever' to come.

To him, the title of strongest man ever actually sounds ridiculous, who in the world could claimed to be unrivaled to the extent of naming himself the strongest man ever.

After a while, noises is heard among the crowd as they make way for someone to pass.

The person they made way for is none other than Luciano.

He made his way up the stage with a lot from hype as countless people sings praises to him.

Many had bet their whole life inheritance on him this they expected him not to disappoint them.

Tyler raised his head up and looked at him. Luciano had a short black rough hair with a kind of chiseled face and a slender body .

He held his sword in his right arm which is another thing Tyler found stupid because swords were meant to be held in the left hand so as it to be easy to draw.

"So you are the 'strongest man ever' , you deserved the title after seeing your unique taste" Tyler said in a rather serious yet mocking tone.

"I don't know that you..." Luciano wasn't able to finish his words when Tyler interrupted.

"there's no need for all those nonsense, just cut to the chase" Tyler rolled his eyes.

Tyler's word made Luciano's face to look so ugly, he had never been interrupted in his life because people always wait for him to talk.

Sword will burst out from Luciano the next moment, his entire body is raging in the will of swords. People quickly evacuate the surrounding area of the battle stage.

Just then, a very beautiful lady made her way into the crowd, men couldn't help but stare at her even the ladies steal glances at her.

some influential people knew her but they were ordered to keep quiet by the maid behind her.

This beautiful damsel is none other than Aurora who came to look at the battle of her prince charming and Bella who is always stuck to her.

She stood silently among the crowd but her eyes is full of worry and hope, she actually wished a miracle could happen and Tyler would just be able to defeat Luciano but reality is too hard to accept.

The sword will around Luciano could dismembered anybody that get close, his eyes were full of disdain as he stared at Tyler.

"Let's see if you can take one attack from me" Luciano raged as many people felt their blood boiling.

Some of these people had bet on one attack, some bet on two while some bet on three attack, they were all hoping for Tyler to lose.

Tyler on the other hand hissed the moment he heard that word, "Idiot"

No aura could be perceived from Tyler which made everyone have a strange expression on their face.

'Does this guy know what he's doing? he's about to face an attack from the strongest man ever yet he doesn't release any defense spell'

Even Aurora could not say she understood Tyler anymore, although, she had only known Tyler for a few days and hadn't truly get close to him, she still felt naturally very close to this guy.

Everyone always thought she's crazy but she knew that she isn't, she had indeed fallen for this guy yet he doesn't even value his own life.

Can't he just live for me? she wondered.

The next moment, Luciano unsheath the sword in his hand as the sword flied up and stood directly above Luciano pointed at Tyler.

The sword then turned into multiple sword and charged at Tyler at a terrifying speed.

Aurora couldn't help but shout "Look out!!!!!" .
