TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Thirty-One: Farewell

"It's okay, Avy. Here is your payment," He said as he handed his harvest that was converted into paper and the most expensive stone that can be used as a tool.

"I humbly refuse it, your Highness," I said as I refuse to accept it but then he gets my hands so I have no choice but to receive it since they are looking at me even the young ladies are glaring.

"Are you sure you're giving this to me Prince Kilden?" I ask him since this suppose to be given to a lady, not a knight.

"Of course," He said as he taps my shoulder.

"Then, you should accept mine too." Lahat kami napatingin kay Prince Renz as he handed me his harvest and the diamond stone.

"I humbly refuse it, Your Highness. You should have given this to a lady," I said as I glance to the Crown Princess who is also receiving harvest from other participants.

"What? Should I have reason to give you too?" He said unbelievable to me.

"N-no, but you don't have to give me Your Highness," sabi ko dahil pinagtitinginan na kami at ibinalik ko sa kanya ang binigay niya.

"Then, how about this is compensation for your injuries?" He said as he smirks since I can't refuse if he put it like that.

"If you put it like that then I have to accept but I refuse to receive the diamond stone, Your Highness," I said since that stone is very valuable and I don't want to have a burdensome thing in my bag since his harvest and Prince Kilden's were already a burden.

"What? Why? When you accept Kil's stones as well?" He said as he looks at Kil who is smirking at him as if he is special.

"Because he owes me so I have to, Your Highness," I said kaya nawalan na siyang ng pag-asa para ipag pilitan ang kagustuhan niya.

"Avy here," Ian suddenly handed me his harvest kaya napatingin ako sa kanya ng nagtataka while looking to his harvest.

"Why? I am not a lady," I said, so he looked at me as if he was saying 'don't tease me'.

"Keep.it." He said while Prince Kil and Prince Renz were looking at Ian unbelievable as if it was new to them to witness some soft side from him so he said to them 'don't look at me like that, your Highnesses' as he approaches them.

Then, I looked at Lady Miary with Sofie who I forgot when the awarding ceremony started. I said awkwardly 'Hi' to Her Grace since she was so silent although I might know what is the reason.

"Avy, don't make me worry like that," She said as she hugs me while crying. Yes, I know I made her worry and I can't blame her for that since we are like sisters but of course, I didn't forget my status.

"I'm sorry, Lady Miary. I didn't mean to make you worry since I am well," I said to her but she punches me slightly in the chest, and my wounds started to ache. I didn't show my face hurting so I just hold her hands to stop her beating to me since it might start to bleed as Sofie notice that I'm hurting so she comforts Miary.

"Promise me, you don't do that again," She said as she wipes her tears. I can't promise but I don't want to make you worry.

"I promise," I said as I smile awkwardly.

"Then, accept this, and I DO NOT ACCEPT A NO ANSWER," She said while smiling, a scary smile so I just nodded since she might choke me if I refuse it.

"Unexpected events that we didn't expect to happen since as we witness most of the winners gave their harvest to a knight and not to a lady for the title of 'Charismatic and Beauty Alluring' for the one who receives the most harvest but then it must a Lady. The Lady who receives the most is not other than the 'Crown Princess Ryah'" the speaker announces as the Crown Princess receives her awards as we accidentally make an eye-to-eye contact kaya napaiwas agad ako ng tingin. I don't think that it's an accident since she really looking for me even when they giving me their harvest a while ago.
