The Kingdom of Etherna: Return of the Prophesied Queen

Chapter 9 - The Battle

The time has come, she will face the wrath of their captain. Before she went to the training ground where their battle will happen, she made sure she tucked with her the sword that her uncle gave to her. She put it at the side of her boots and cover it inside her baggy pants. It is not that big that is why it is easy to carry under her pants.

She walked silently towards the training ground where the other girls were waiting. She can see the excitement of some of the girls and she can see the worried face of Lily at the side.

All she need to do is hit him once, that is her goal and she promised herself to do it.

She’s now standing at the center, surrounded by the crowd of people waiting for the coming of her opponent. The loud cheer of the crowd made her more nervous and is deafening her ears.

She closed her eyes analyzing the tactics she must do to hit her opponent once, but the crowd became wild, when she opened her eyes, her opponent is standing a meter away from her. That made her heart beat wild, she wanted to puke at the moment but she swallowed everything not wanting her opponent to degrade her.

“Ready to surrender Lady?” Benedict started.

“That’s my line, captain.” She bravely said looking into his dark blue eyes. That made him smirk, she wanted to erase that smirk on his face, but she has to be careful on every move she make.

“Let’s not prolong this game captain, don’t cry if I hit you once”, she said copying the smirk from his face.

From a smirk she saw the changing face of her angry captain because of the words she uttered. She positioned herself in a combat stunt while her opponent just stand a meter away waiting for her to attack.

That made her angry, when the whistle blows signaling the start of the match, she automatically attack captain Benedict. She used her fist to punch him but he just dodge every fist she threw. She distant herself from her opponent and visualize the area that she must attack.

“He was just evading my punches, is he making fun of me?” she thought to herself. Again, she attack using her legs, kicking him from left to right but still no avail.

“Fight back you hooligan” she said clinching her jaw.

“Don’t under estimate me captain, I’m not as fragile as you thought”, attacking him again with all the tricks she knew from the training and from her uncle’s training.

“Just surrender prinsesa, I don’t want to give a scratch on your pretty face”, he said while evading her attack. That made her more furious. She is now catching her breath, the attacking made her out of air.

“Don’t run away captain, you are just making fun of yourself, fight back!” she shouted between every gasping of air she made.

“Don’t make me laugh prinsesa, anytime soon you will be out of breath and then you will eventually lose.” She wanted to erase that devilish smirk on his face but she has to compose herself. Talking to him this way will just made her tired.

“Never will I surrender!” she loudly said attacking him again. Punch, kick, punch, kick, punch, kick, she never rest on attacking him. Then captain Benedict grabbed her hand that made her stop in a bit. He was so close to her, she can even smell her manly scent, his lips were too close to hers, she can feel the air coming from his nose fanning her face.

“You are making this difficult prinsesa,” his eyes were on hers and her jaw was clinching while he speak.

“I don’t want to hurt you, but you are testing my patience,” he said in a very angry tone, his jawline is so hard that it can break anything that it will encounter.
