Four days later, it's time. The duel between Ariella and Alexander is scheduled for early morning. Sophia and I woke up early and are currently on our way to where the young lady stays. Upon arriving at the building, we see Bella already there, holding a box.
We exchange a few greetings, feeling quite nervous about the duel. Sophia even had a stomachache earlier due to the high stress, despite not being the one who will be fighting.
Soon after, Ariella appears. She's wearing light armor that fits her perfectly, her hair neatly tied into a ponytail, and her rapier at her side. Upon seeing us, her eyes widen, and a broad smile blooms on her beautiful face.
"You guys…"
"Good morning, my lady," Bella says. "How was your sleep?"
"Right, how are you feeling today?" Sophia joins in.
"Ah… I couldn't sleep at all!" Ariella admits with a chuckle. "Only one or two hours or something. But even so, I'm in peak condition! Perfectly prepared!"
