Alexandra Italia Vaughn, Sixth of Her Name, of the House of Vero, and Princess of the Seventh Realm Plains, was named Champion of the [Clash of Swords] by the Three Without Eyes.
The mysterious judges saw it fit when they held up three plaques with a nine, nine, and eight for her. Israfel got a nine, nine, and a seven.
He was unperturbed; Alexandra did 'work' for her win. Nothing could be done for the demure faces in the dome's quadrants though. However, he knew it wasn't only for the sparring in which the Three Without Eyes had judged, for he could see in the hidden veils of their cowls knowing, orbless depths that had seen right through the [Light Bubble].
Eyes that had seen him bang and BJ his opponent gladiator on the very public arena.
—And the entire freaking college thought the Three Without Eyes did not have. . .well, eyes!
