Aurora, watching from the crowd, thought little of Elora. 'Was she so consumed by her recent win against her mother that it blew her pride out of proportion? 'How can she make a sure careless mistake? I must have overestimated her,' Aurora thought, her strung-up heart settled. She looked forward to watching Elora disgrace herself before the dignitaries of other kingdoms.
''All settled. Let's go to the dueling ground,'' Elora said, her expression steady from start to finish. She placed the paper into her dimensional ring and left calmly under the crowd's stares.
Hunter and the others followed close behind, as the butler hurried to prepare the dueling grounds. Maids were sent out to guide the crowd and maintain order.
They passed through a hallway as Nalia activated mini warp gates embedded around the castle, using mana stones to set the course to the dueling ground.
