The news of their match was spread out of nowhere, through the servant who had earlier escorted Altair to the Emperor's palace. Until almost everyone in the capital knew about it. The Princess Duke Orzsbet was also subjected to scathing criticism from people, who thought that Princess Duke had no heart at all. Because it challenges people who have just recovered from poisoning, but no one responds to it at all.
At the same time, the Emperor who heard the news was angry with the Duke, for the inappropriate treatment of his daughter...
Bukk...
" Excessive! How could he do such a thing?! Explain your daughter's intentions, Duke!." Ning was really so angry that he hit his throne.
While before him, Duke Orzsbet knelt down while maintaining his composure, "Sir, that is the matter that my daughter and Miss Altair have. Let them finish it as they please. I'm sure my daughter has a reason to do this" he said confidently.
" That's right, Sire. "the voice of Altair suddenly sounded to mediate their conversation.
They turned to the side, from where the voice of Altair was heard for the first time. And it's true... Altair walked from there towards the Emperor confidently.
" Sir, me and the daughter of Orzabet want to solve our problems. Therefore, please don't get angry and allow our childish behavior this time alone" Altair said with a bright smile to Ning.
" But you just recovered." said Ning still doubting it. Although it was true, he himself knew Altair had been healed a long time ago.
" It's okay, Sire. I don't like to let problems drag on, do you... Master duke?" sahut Altair also then glanced at Duke Orzsbet down there.
" Of course... Miss Altair." replied Duke Orzsbet with a cold gaze that led directly to Altair.
Same is the case with Altair who is still smiling, but feels cold at the same time. Even Ning who was paying attention to him was aware of that...
" He began to cultivate his ruthless nature, yes. "his inner self, Ning was just propping up his chin looking at it. " Yes, okay. It's up to you, "and he finally resigned to it.
" Nobody can stop his people as well as his descendants. " Ning was convinced by the fact of the matter.
On the other hand, Altair who heard him smiled satisfied because of that. He can do anything now.
- 2 days later...
The Colosseum began to be filled with many people who wanted to see it, most of them fighters 5 years ago. Which they had known Altair, the girl who defeated great fighters with just one punch.
A lot of people are betting that Altair is going to win a big fight today, however... Even so, not a few who support the daughter of Duke Orzsbet, who is touted as a genius. The fight between the two strongest girls in the empire, naturally made all look forward to it.
" Are you sure you're not worried about your student Mira?" asked Mirion who saw that along with her sister.
Mira who heard the question nodded her head, "Yes. Altair wouldn't accept it if he wasn't sure he'd win "he answered with confidence.
" I can guess why he chose my place" Mirion said, knowing Altair's way of thinking.
While Mira just smiled hearing that, yeah.. His students are very smart. And he's proud of it. Reminds him of his master who very cleverly manipulates the circumstances behind his smile.
It was not only the imperial people who saw this match, but also the imperial family. Of course it was no wonder, Altair who was so close to them, it was impossible for the imperial family to be silent at this moment.
And in the place of preparing, Altair was still busy arranging the gloves he wore casually. The match will start soon...
" Altair, "call Theodore who comes there.
" No, I just want to make sure you're okay" said Theodore, as he walked up to Altair. " You... Will it use that spear?" he asked when he saw Altair's spear near the table.
Altair nodded his head, "Yes, that's my weapon. Because this is not an official Colosseum fight, so it doesn't matter if we use weapons" Altair replied with a casual smile.
Then they were distracted when they heard the announcement that the match was about to begin.
" Both participants, please enter the arena. The game is about to start."
" Oh, the match begins. I must immediately go up" said Altair who then hurriedly prepared and grabbed his sky spear. " Is there anything you want to say again??" ask Altair again to Theodore who was still there.
Theodore remained silent for a while, until Theodore suddenly embraced him. And that made Altair very surprised...
" Huaa.. Yes-Your Majesty." Altair's face was flushed like a tomato at this time.
" Be careful, Theodore said to him, making Altair speechless. " ... don't get hurt again"." he continued.
Making Altair understand, Theodore was worried about him. Altair smiled happily to hear that, "Yes" she replied, returning the hug.
While up there, diarena.... The voices of the spectators echoed in that place. And Theodore had just returned to his place beside Ning and Abel. The moment everyone's attention was then turned to a woman standing above the Arena at this moment.
" Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, today as you all know, we will have a match between the two great Misses of this Empire. Let's welcome the participants!."
" Woo..."
Said the woman who again invited cheers from the audience. Especially when Altair and Rara entered the arena, the supporters each shouted cheering the two.
Rara wears her fighting clothes, with a bright red color and a sword in her hand. While across from him, Altair with green clothes carried his sky spear in his hand. Both of them walked confidently and were in a state of being ready to fight.
They also arrived in the middle of the arena, right in front of the woman, facing each other...
Altair could still smile casually at this moment, "Hello, are you ready princess? " he asked Rara.
And Rara looked very stern at that, "Remove that disgusting smile off your face, you're really shameless." she said.
But Altair did not hear that at all and continued to smile, like someone, right...??
" Okay, here's the rule. You can attack each other until one of you admits defeat or injury, but you are not allowed to kill each other. We've prepared a priest who will heal you when you're injured, so you don't have to worry. Do you guys understand??" ask the woman to both of them.
" Yep, loud and clear" says the spontaneous Altair.
" Yes, yes, I understand. "and Rara who doesn't care at all.
" In that case, both participants are ready!... Be prepared!.. Get started!" said the woman who then disappeared from the Arena.
While Altair and Rara who heard that were directly attacking each other.
