"Will you fight me too, your majesty?" A commanding voice cut through the crowd, drawing all eyes to the arena.
At once, everyone knelt. "Hail to the savior of Kali Kingdom!"
Shivani's gaze shifted, meeting her husband's smirking eyes. Dressed in green, he stood at the edge, watching her like a hunter sizing up his prey. Her smile faded, replaced by cold resolve.
"I am not a warrior, Maharaja," she stated. "Just a teacher. My work here is done."
"Rise," he ordered softly, eyes still locked on hers. As the men stood, he stepped forward, his smile deepening. "I, too, wish to learn. I shall pay a suitable fees. Don't worry."
Her jaw tightened. "I have nothing to teach the great King," she said, laced with sarcasm. "I'm just a mere woman correcting mistakes-while you, of course, are flawless."
Unfazed, he removed his rings one by one, handing them to a servant. "It's a humble request, Maharani. Please teach me. How can you judge my skill without facing me?"
Her grip on the sword tightened. He had struck a nerve. "Fine," she snapped. With a sharp swing, she stepped back, putting space between them.
A sword was placed in his hand. With a slight nod, he raised it, ready for battle.
