Chapitre 69: Zephara vs Ava

Zephara's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she approached me, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Care to spar with me, Leora?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement as she held out her sword.

I hesitated for a moment, my mind racing with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I relished the opportunity to test my skills against Zephara, eager to prove myself in battle. But on the other hand, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at me, a lingering doubt that whispered of the consequences of facing off against Zephara who was maybe far more stronger.

Before I could respond, Ava stepped forward, her expression serious as she intervened. "I think Leora's had enough for today," she said firmly, her voice leaving no room for argument. "Perhaps it would be best if your majesty sparred with me instead."

Zephara hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickering between me and Ava as she weighed her options.
