Escucha las olas
Llevan la canción de tu desaparición
Listen to the waves
They carry the song
of your demise
Wind blew on the earth's crust, the metal glistened as the sun rays shone on it. Reuel could see his reflection in the sword, his brown eyes stared right back at him.
Hange shifted from on top of him but the sword remained still thrust into the ground.
Reuel felt Hange's weight lift off of him, Hange weighed a lot that it could be compared to carrying two men.
The cheers of the people brought back Reuel's attention only for him to see Hange's hand stretched out for him to take
Reuel reached out and took hold of Hange's arm and he was pulled up the next second.
The crowd cheered harder for them, Reuel stretched out his hand for a handshake and Hange shook it then Reuel raised their hands up in the air pointing a finger at Hange declaring him the winner.
He had anticipated death but the god of death wasn't out for his soul.
Leondre gave a light nod when Reuel's
gaze met his before he signaled to the tournament's co-ordinator to give Hange the staff.
Everyone clapped for Hange even some of the nobles who had been in support of him. After all he didn't kill their prince.
Rane was disappointed since she didn't get to see Cyane not even a small glimpse.
Charle who was also present tried to show his wife some comfort, he put an arm around her and she rested on his shoulder, "It's ok love, Cyane would be fine"
Rane didn't say a word and then embraced him in a tight hug and he rubbed her back.
The staff of victory was handed over to Hange after the tournament's coordinator had made few speeches.
Hange lowered his head in respect towards the platform and while the nobles were satisfied with it, Leondre's suspicion had only peaked.
Hange had never fought anyone and they would leave without any injuries but he seemed to have made an exception this time which only peaked his interest further.

That night there was a banquet in the castle to celebrate the close of the tournament. Reuel and Levi drank to their hearts content although they needed more than one bottle before they would get drunk.
"You did well brother" Issa approached them from behind.
Reuel pivoted and hugged Issa, he was elated to see her that he didn't let go of her immediately, "It's so good to see you Issa" He placed a kiss on her cheek. This was their first meeting.
"Likewise brother"
When she was done hugging Levi, Leondre entered their midst and she held her breath, still a bit unsure if Leondre was happy. He hadn't shown any emotion towards her and she wondered if he had accepted her apology.
When Leondre saw that she was in doubt about his feelings towards her, he shrugged and opened his arms for her. Issa smiled then embraced him in a tight hug. Leondre had forgiven her and her heart was now at rest.
