Narrator's POV
"Oh god...I can't look." Princess Catherine said, covering her eyes with her hands.
On the opposite sides of the stone ground was Prince Daniel and Prince Raiden, glaring at each other like they're about to pluck each other's eyeballs.
"Ready..." Queen Eleanor started, uneasiness in her voice as she stared at the princes still glaring at each other, their swords tightly grasped in their slender fingers, ready to slice and dice flesh.
"Get set..." Princess Catherine muttered, still covering her crystal blue eyes.
"GO!" King Harold said, excitement overcoming his body. He is such a big fan of combat and duels yet he is a tad bit afraid to be in one. A chicken king.
Daniel immediately pounced at Raiden, blade aimed at his head.
Seeing this, Raiden ducked in time as the sword swished just right above him.
"That's all ya got, Daniel?" Raiden scoffed.
"Oh it's on, Raiden." A creepy smile crept onto Daniel's lips.
Raiden was confused and then was caught offguard when Daniel sweeped his feet, knocking Raiden to the ground.
"Nghhh." Raiden grunted, his shoulders throbbing with pain.
Daniel smirked and loomed over him, the creepy smile still twisted on his face, "Liking it down there?" He asked.
"Not really." Raiden replied and then jumped to his feet, punching Daniel square on the face.
"Oof." Daniel stumbles back. Before Raiden could make another move, he stands up and wipes the blood trickling from the corner of his lips.
"Uh, I thought this was fencing?" Catherine said, glancing at the King and Queen.
"Oh hush, it's just getting better." King Harold said, clapping his hands excitedly.
"Playing dirty now, eh? I like what you think." Daniel smirks again despite the harsh cut on his lips. "But I think you forgot that playing dirty is what I'm best at."
In a swift motion, Daniel rushes at Raiden and swings his sword at his waist and elbows him at his stomach, knocking the wind out of Raiden.
"Aughh." Raiden winces in pain, grasping for air. Luckily, the sword didn't do any cuts since he was armored but he got a ton of bruises, all right.
Anger burning from Daniel's eyes, he swings his sword again at Raiden multiple times.
Raising his sword up high, Daniel prepares for a final blow, aming to...
...behead Daniel!?
"StO-OoOp.." Raiden pleaded, a sharp gasp escaping his lips. "I..I surrender. W-What the hell, D-Daniel? Are you trying to k-kill me?"
Realizing this, Daniel chuckled. "Oh my. I got carried away. So sorry." Daniel holds out his hand to Raiden. "No hard feelings?"
Raiden takes Daniel's hands and stands up. "You friggin' tried to kill me, man!"
"I declare, round two winner, Prince Daniel Adriens!" King Harold cheered with the crowd, others doing the standing ovation.
"That. Was. Intense." Catherine said, still shook.
"I know, right?" Olivia replied, grinning while eye-candying Raiden.
