“WHO DARES CHEAT??”
Edward entered the room with his two personal knights. Edward's arrival makes Abigail who initially wanted to be angry at Scarlesia forced to stop her rampage. Abigail immediately bowed silently, she looked submissive as Edward began to look suspiciously at her. Unlike Scarlesia, she already knew that Edward would come here to watch the exam.
“Say, who cheated?” ask Edward again.
“Izin answered His Majesty, under the table of His Majesty Abigail found a piece of cheat paper. Please see for yourself,”
Marry thrust the piece of paper at Edward, looking at Edward's face turned furious.
“Abigail, how dare you commit a fraudulent act like this. Your dishonest attitude diminishes your qualifications as an emperor. I am disappointed in you, now you will be disqualified from this writing exam,” Edward said turning to leave the room.
Scarlesia smiled her smile, she won a landslide without having to carry out her test directly.
“INI ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! I FAILED THE FIRST TEST! GODDAMNIT! YOU SHOULD'VE KILLED ME FROM THE BEGINNING!”
Abigail stomped her feet and passed by from before Scarlesia, she did not stop grumbling and cursing Scarlesia. After making a fatal mistake, she still dared to blame Scarlesia and accused herself as the cause of her failure.
“Your Majesty, you should have given him a slap so that his mouth could stop blaming you,” Marry said.
“It doesn't matter because I was preparing a special surprise for him when this exam ended. Can I ask you for help?”
“What is Your Majesty? Please just tell me,”
“Please spread the rumors about Abigail cheating on the test this time to the nobility and common people. Already should he be embarrassed before the next exam is carried out,” pinta Scarlesia asked for help.
“Good Your Majesty, I will do it soon,”
In just a span of a few hours, all those rumors had already spread throughout the Evariste Empire. Scarlesia's decision was correct because she told Marry to spread her rumors because she had a strong connection with the common people and the nobles. Marry is also known for his intelligence, he is also known as a reliable gossip spreader. Marry is one of Duchess Freya's most trusted men, and she is told to obey in support of Scarlesia as the next crown princess.
This news ended up in the ears of Duchess Debora, she threw all the stuff in her room. He went berserk as soon as he got a bad rumor about Abigail using dirty means in the imperial knowledge written exam.
“AARRGHH!! WHY IS EVERYTHING SO MESSY?” shouts Duchess Debora.
“All the spies I put in the palace have been eliminated even Doctor Efrem has also committed suicide. From the very beginning the girl had indeed been a hindrance to me from the matter of Queen Miranda to the present problem, she was hindering me in launching my plan to master Evariste. I used Prince Rashid and his stupid daughter as intermediaries for me to get the throne, but why is this messed up? Can't! The girl should be eliminated as soon as possible!” mumbling grumbling.
Then Duchess Debora took out a sword with a terrifying aura that came out from the sword.
“Maybe it's time to use this cursed sword, I will borrow Abigail's hand to kill that barrier woman,”
The next day, Scarlesia was getting ready to go to the dueling arena because today was the day of the sword exam. He would duel with Abigail in the presence of many people, almost all the nobles present inside the duel arena to watch the duel between the two of them.
“Remember what we've learned these few days,” message Andreas.
“Alright, just relax. I will definitely remember it,” replied Scarlesia.
“Huhh you should thank me because I have sacrificed so much these days for you,” ketus Moon, sword Andreas.
“Moon, you seem to be talking a lot lately. Usually you just keep quiet but why are you interrupting my words now?” reply Scarlesia.
“I've been satisfied sleeping a few lately so now decided to get up and delay my bedtime,” Moon's pretext.
“No, I'm not lonely,” elak Moon blushed shyly.
Scarlesia is happy to tease Moon, although she always ketus respond to Scarlesia but she never said anything rude to Scarlesia. Moon was a lonely sword, he had no interlocutor, which is why he sniffed at Scarlesia to be able to talk at length with her.
“Ehemm Sia, why have you and Xeon been seen avoiding each other lately?” sela Elios wondered.
Scarlesia patted her forehead, again recalling the day she kissed Xeon.
“I didn't avoid it anyway, haha maybe just your feelings,” Scarlesia said reasoned.
“Really? Yeah, maybe you're right. It's just my feeling,”
Scarlesia stroked her chest while breathing a sigh of relief, and she was grateful that Elios had not questioned her further. In between his sense of relief, the bells also sounded indicating that his duel with Abigail was about to begin.
“Sia, do not forget about our previous exercise,” remember Andreas once again.
“Alright, thank you Andreas for being a good teacher to me this week,”
The cup!
Scarlesia kissed Andreas' lips and immediately rushed into the dueling arena. Andreas smiled as he touched his lips that Scarlesia had just kissed. From behind his back, he sensed that there were some eyes staring at him sharply and fiery.
“Haha it looks like they're going to fuss again,” inner Andreas.
The killer moon sword suddenly shook as Abigail entered the arena, Andreas immediately resisted Moon's tremors.
“Why are you suddenly shaking?” ask Andreas.
“Looks like I'm going to meet an old friend today,” Moon said.
When Scarlesia entered the arena, everyone cheered her up. Scarlesia who was wearing the clothes of a man gave more attraction to him.
“EXCITE YOUR MAJESTY SCARLESIA!”
“WE SUPPORT YOU YOUR HIGHNESS!”
“YANG MULIA, LOOK HERE DONG. PLEASE SMILE TO ME,”
“KYYAAAA YOUR MAJESTY IS SO COOL,”
In addition, Abigail did not get any cheers from anyone. There was only the sound of ridicule asking Abigail to come down immediately from the duel arena stage. Abigail's envy grew increasingly peaked in Scarlesia, which was favored by many in Evariste.
“BECAUSE THE DUEL PARTICIPANT HAS ALREADY ENTERED THE ARENA, THEN THE OFFICIAL DUEL WILL START! THE RULE WAS THAT IF ONE OF THE SWORDS FELL TO THE GROUND, HE WOULD LOSE. DUEL STARTS!!”
Abigail, who was impatient, first attacked Scarlesia with her sword. Scarlesia managed to hold back Abigail's sword, currently their swords clashed to determine who was stronger here. Accidentally, as their swords clashed a dark black aura shot out from Abigail's sword. No one could see the black aura except Scarlesia and her men.
“There was something wrong with Abigail's sword, a pitch-black aura that enveloped her like a curse,”
