SECOND WORLD.
32. The Challenge of Archery and the Wood Sword.

***Place of Training***

Carissa frowned looking at the crown prince Leonard Theodore, as he gave an addition to the challenge this time, which was archery on a horse, and then a horse, Carissa was still silent until two bodyguards carrying two horses came before them, Carissa only saw the horse.

"sorry crown prince, isn't this an exaggeration?" second prince caught sight of Carissa who seemed hesitant because of the crown prince's request.

"whatever is excessive, archery on horseback is very common, because when fighting we will ride horses while archery opponents, so this is normal, how does the third prince do you mind?" countenance Leonard looked at the second prince and the third prince in turn.

"i agree, it's true that when we fight we used to ride horses while shooting opponents." retorted the third prince.

Carissa just silently looked at the two horses without comment or objection at all, she felt something was wrong here, and Carissa believed that all her instincts were always right.

"how is Miss Carissa? do you mind?" asked the crown prince to see that Carissa was silent without any comment.

"does the servant have a noble choice?" ask Carissa with her flat face.

"of course there is, giving up on losing or accepting the challenge but not yet knowing it works or not" said the crown prince smiled faintly, Leonard was delighted to tease and make it difficult for Carissa at this time.

"that's not an option." replied Carissa smiled faintly. "you're too kind-hearted a noble" said Carissa again as she bent her body slightly.

"before trying it, we will not know, we can or not" said Carissa again saw the third prince. "so servant beg his noble guidance." said Carissa bowed a little to Verdian.

"good.I like your spirit that is not easily discouraged, well let's start." said Verdian smiling happily and excitedly.

Carissa followed Verdian into the horse that had been prepared, Verdian quickly mounted his horse, while Carissa looked doubtful so that someone came to extend his hand to Carissa.

"let me help you ride" Damian reached out his hand to help Carissa climb onto the horse's back.

Carissa looked back at the horse she was about to ride, she gently stroked the face of the horse she was about to ride on.

"please help me" he told the horse in a soft voice that Damian could still hear in front of him.

"thank you your majesty for your good intentions, but I will work on my own" he said gently because there are still people who care about him.

Carissa held the reins of the horse deftly Carissa rode her horse without any difficulty at all, Carissa sat gracefully and upright on the horse by holding the bow of the arrow given by the bodyguard, while the place where the arrows he hangs behind his back.

Until three arrows, then Carissa with three arrows on the same target board, Carissa was silent with her face flat and cold, sitting down to see the third prince who had already started his archery action, with the cry of hysteria from the other princesses giving encouragement.

Verdian's archery was excellent once two boards hit the black spot and another at 95% black spot, Carissa continued to see Verdian returning with a triumphant smile, Verdian is in front of Carissa.

"let's say, lady.it's your turn now." she smiled triumphantly because she was satisfied with the archery.

Carissa looked for a moment at Verdian and the three target boards, she sharpened her vision far away at the black dot that Verdian's arrow had stuck there.

Carissa lowered her body to whisper on the head of the horse she was riding, "please help me." that's what Carissa whispered that made everyone wonder what Carissa was doing?

Carissa slowly pulled the reins of her horse, as soon as her horse responded by stepping her legs, Carissa then stomped her legs to make her horse run fast, when her horse had run Carissa trying to balance her body so as not to fall, Carissa tried to balance her body, then by upholding his body Carissa directs the rotten arrow on the board of his first target, once in taste right at the point Carissa also release the arrow and grounded right on the black spot of the board first target.

Carissa continued to do it a second time, he shot the target black spot that already had Verdian arrows, when in the sense of the aim was right, Carissa also released the arrow, Carissa also released the arrow, and, and Carissa's arrow quickly split Verdian's arrow at the black dot of his second target's board.

This time Carissa also concentrated on aiming for the third target board which already had an arrow from Verdian in the midpoint, and this time Carissa managed to split the arrow belonging to Verdian, which was also the most important, which surprised everyone and no one spoke anymore.

Carissa quickly approached Verdian and wanted to ask for the prize, as he had already made sure he was the winner by a narrow margin with Verdian, everyone saw disbelief in Carissa who had already shot the three target boards right at the black spot, he said, until making two arrows Verdian split into two so that the arrow Carissa can be in the middle of the black dot.

"how noble.would you like to see the results of the slave archery?" ask Carissa who was still sitting on the back of her horse and look at Verdian who was still surprised.

"how do you do it?" asked the stuttering Verdian still can't believe what he saw?

"just aim for the target and shoot it."

"if you can shoot, why yesterday when you were up against a challenge, even holding a bow you can't." Verdian replied with a question that everyone might want to ask.

"then why do you want to do it?"

"yes obviously because it wants a gift from you who is noble" answered Carissa honestly.

"is that all…?" this time it was crown prince Leonard who asked, and all looked at him including Carissa.

Carissa fell silent, she got off her horse and stepped closer to the crown prince.

"yes, of course that's all..Is there anything else noble?" ask Carissa back.

Instead of answering Carissa's question, Leonard instead called Verdian and whispered something to him, Carissa frowned suspiciously and her instincts said something would happen next.

Verdian was seen nodding his head in understanding what Leonard was whispering, immediately Verdian walked up to take two wooden swords and turned to approach Carissa, quickly Verdian threw a wooden sword at Carissa, and Carissa quickly caught the wooden sword.

"woooww is a good way to catch" Verdian said, like to see Carissa capture a wooden sword.

"what does this mean?" tanya confused Carissa by looking at Verdian and the wooden sword in her hand in turn.

"it's less exciting that you're only doing one challenge to get one reward from me, so I want to add one more challenge with one more reward for you, how would you like it?" verdian said smiling at Carissa, Verdian loves a challenge, what else does the crown prince say when he whispers to her???

"servants are only one noble gift, thank you." replied Carissa who did not want to look for trouble, after all she was lazy to serve what the crown prince ordered Verdian.

"you have only two options, follow my orders or are you willing to be my servant for a month?"

Carissa silently frowned, she felt trapped, they just wanted to play tricks on her.

"forgive a noble servant.She is not your match, against you or not the servant will still lose, if you mean the servant is willing to be your servant." carissa said it's better to give up than the challenge will continue.

The crown prince and Verdian seemed dissatisfied with Carissa's reply, with the crown prince's deheman Verdian attacking Carissa quickly but using no force.

Carissa repeatedx resisted Verdian's wooden sword attack, Verdian who felt that Carissa was good enough to resist his attack, quickly attacked Carissa again, again Carissa could resist his attack and dodge.

In the mind of Carissa said, he would not be let go if he did not follow the will of Verdian, so by forced Carissa to follow what the will of the Verdian, quickly and strongly Carissa also retaliated against Verdian.

"waaooow your attack is strong as well" Verdian said on the sidelines of his attack.

Carissa just silently did not reply, in her mind just wanted to quickly finish this all, Verdian and Carissa were still attacking each other and dodging each other's attacks, they were balanced and looked breathless due to their movements, they were, Verdian did not want to budge at all, whereas Carissa had no choice to give up because it was just a waste.

Not only with wooden sword attacks used by the two of them, punches, fists and kicks were used to paralyze each other, but they remained balanced.

Carissa racked her brain to take down Verdian, and she wanted to try a trick that her sword master had taught her while still in the mafia world.

Carissa quickly turned her sword on Verdian's wooden sword as she continued forward to allow Verdian to retreat to dodge, and when Verdian's steps were unbalanced, Carissa quickly kicked towards Verdian's belly while pushing Verdian's wooden sword upwards.

With a quick movement Carissa took a computerized kick when Verdian was off guard until his kick successfully hit his cheek, he said, then Carissa easily caught Verdian's wooden sword and used both wooden swords to attack Verdian in a tangle, so Verdian was overwhelmed and fell when Carissa pounced on Verdian's legs, in a quick motion Carissa pointed her wooden sword at Verdian's neck that was falling on the ground.

Carissa looked hard at Verdian who had lost with his breath gasping with fatigue, for the first time Carissa had a balanced opponent again, ever since he stopped at his mafia world, it had been a long time since he had used his martial arts and sword moves again.

Verdian, who had lost his body resignedly on the ground and gave up by raising his hands above his head, immediately Carissa relaxed her body and adjusted her breathing by standing up straight looking at Verdian, the crown prince and the second prince alternately threw both of his wooden swords on the ground beside his feet.
