Hellbents
Chapter 166: Princess Afrein

Immediate impromptu events were prepared, spontaneous duels at the training grounds of the palace warriors. The challenge posed by Princess Romula was taken lightly by Ava as her continued task in maintaining the good name of Princess Eve and the kingdom of Edodale.

Romula had changed her dress to a more practical dress, next to which was an old woman who had been ranting about manners, this - it was politics that she did not catch, until begging to cancel the fight that has been witnessed by the invited guests who attended. The waiter who accompanied her was very chatty.

Romula never considered the short-term or far-reaching consequences of what he did. He gave Princess Eve a gift of a knife because Romula herself thought the knife was not bad if used to fight monsters, without any other purpose. He also dared to invite the duel of Edodale's daughter because he was upset with the many people at the party who continued to compare them. So this fight will prove to them who is stronger.

Even though Princess Eve got a medal in the banderhobbs attack on the black storm phenomenon, Eve Weinhamer still remains a geeky princess figure who always reads books in Romula's eyes. Eve must have done various tricks and magic to fight monsters, right? He was indeed a genius, but in an academic field that was too complicated for Romula to understand. Therefore, Princess Romula can confidently win this duel.

He has been holding a sword since he was 7 years old. Although his father and mother often scolded him not to touch the sword which he said lowered the interest of the men in marrying him later, Romula remained stubborn, because he believed that he was born to swing the sword. And he's right. Romula became one of the women famous for her sword skills. If only he were not a member of the Afrein royal family, he would have been contested by famous guilds.

"You sure about this? Is not your heart ...." Ellijah whispered very close from Ava's ear, the girl shivered because of Ellijah's cold breath that hit her nape.

Maybe he should just raise the presentation of his sensory output later.

Not to forget also the lie that Ava threw to cover the condition of the status of her window that had absolutely no mana, different one hundred and eighty degrees from the main ability of the princess he replaced. Which heart is leaking.

"I told you, I learned some physical combat techniques. You saw it yourself in Crimsonwood yesterday."

"But Princess Romula is not a goblin that only once kibas alone has been decapitated. He was famous for his expert sword techniques. And even though it's not in the ranker category, I hear the level is also high."

Name: Romula Akoiun

Race: Human

Level: 58

Speed: 18

Power: 23

Agility: 14

Where: 3

Coin: 7393738292772

Skill: Flower Blossom (V)

The level is indeed decent, but Ava has seen a more impressive level of the figure, the man on the side being one example. He also noticed that the allocation of Princess Romula's status points was completely unbalanced. Although he has additional status in the form of mana, it was not developed at all, but the result is Romula's main status on average is 18.

With only 70% output, Ava's points more or less equal Romula's. It's a friendly duel, isn't it? It would be an international problem if anyone was seriously injured between them, Ava also did not want to create a war because of her impulsivity, so maybe she would only spend 50% alone?

Unfortunately Ellijah has an aura that disagrees with Ava's good intentions. "If Princess Romula dares to make you bleed even a drop, I will attack Afrein. Their naval defenses are weaker than Edodale's, by deploying warriors and mages with storms of water and wind, our chances of victory are great, especially if the military artifacts you've been making are used."

How did the man already devise a strategy in bringing down the neighboring kingdom?

"Just calm down, Elli." Because Ava is also an expert in close combat.

But that does not mean he will only be carelessly lunged at, considering the reach of his knife will definitely be shorter than the sword that Princess Romula carried.

Two wooden weapons had been clasped in each other's hands.

Dozens of people were watching live on the edge of the arena, of course interested, mainly the noble faction that fully supported Romula's victory rather than their own royal princess. Meanwhile, the royalty faction was confident that Princess Eve would not accept a challenge that she could not defeat, despite quietly holding her breath because they had actually never seen firsthand how Princess Eve fought. Others, neutral. Because whoever wins, it will be an interesting spectacle.

"Start!"

That princess has a skill called [Flower Blossom]? You mean, flowers blossom? Will he bring out a flower that can be used as a sword? But they have promised not to use other weapons other than wooden weapons provided.

Thenwhat?

While Ava was still thinking about her tactics, it was Romula who moved first.

The writing of the skill in the status of Afrein's princess window lit up. From the wooden sword upright in Romula's hand, came a light pink with sparkling flower petals accompanied by a fragrant fragrance.

The swish!

Ava reflexively dodged, but she could still feel the wind being split from her initial footing.

So just like that?

Three air incisions later followed, Ava managed to dodge agile, her steps light as if she was dancing.

Utilizing her speed, Ava ran fast. In an instant he appeared in front of Romula, who had expertly fended off the two knives of the girl.

Nah! Princess Eve's swing was heavier than Romula had expected.

Ava had moved behind her target, trying to stab Romula in the back, unfortunately princess Afrein had turned around using the right leg as a pivot. Ava jumped back.

Five minutes, and Princess Eve already seemed to control the flow of the match solidly.

This time, Romula actually saw his opponent.

There was no way she was defeated by a princess whose hobby was just reading books! Eve's defense was similar to that of a martial master, with no gaps, no signs of carelessness that newbies would often show. ... He's an experienced fighter.

After waking up, Romula repaired his horses. One of the values of the knights he memorized during his sword study in the kingdom of Afrein was not to underestimate the enemy.

It was purely his fault.

Romula shouldn't judge Princess Eve just from the rumors she heard.

But he's late.

Princess Eve lunged with a barrage of attacks whose pattern was difficult to predict, if only they used real weapons, there would have been dozens of cuts in Romula's skin.

Despite having used the [Flower Blossom] skill to raise his basic status, it didn't take long for Romula to feel overwhelmed. He could have put out his ultimate skill to try to turn things around, but he himself was the one who required not to use excessive magic.

As a result, his waist was pierced by a blunt wooden knife in Ava's grasp. Romula lost.

The one who saw was almost in disbelief. Princess Afrein who was famous for her sword skills, was cornered by Princess Eve quickly.

Fortunately, Romula accepts all of this better than Ava expected.

"Where did you learn to fight? You're so wild!"

Romula reached out, asking for a friendly post. "Well we're the same age, just call me Ro."

Suddenly this informal?
