Emi's PoV.
"You want me to what!?"
I had expected this reaction from Abby.
"I want you to pretend you defeated me," I repeated, slightly annoyed at her shock.
Surely she's acted before... She's run that village for a while it looks like so they should believe her.
"I can't lie to them! I have to protect them!" She reminded me and I couldn't help but scowl.
"They are keeping you from your own tower! Forcing you to fight battles that their pathetic little selves can fight!" I spat causing her to flinch.
Did she flinch from fear.? Or just surprise…
I couldn't tell.. Her emotions were better guarded after she slept than they were before.
Calm down. She could still turn on you. I told myself silently as Abby began to pace.
"You want me to walk back to my village and simply say I beat you without proof?" Her voice was full of doubt at my plan, but I knew how to fix this hole.
" I never said there would be no proof " I couldn't help but laugh at this small thing she was worried about.
Stop acting devilish! I hissed at myself internally and tried to put a calm face back.
"So what about the proof?" Abby asked cautiously, searching me with her eyes.
I caught her gaze and held it.
"We stage a battle."
