Bab 238: Battle's End

"Rae," Arthur walked slowly toward her. "I thought you'd be helping your team, not running toward the flag on your own." 

"I guess you don't know me enough." Rae smiled as her white scarf surrounded Jonah. "If I did as you told me, I would be playing into your own hands. I knew you were up to something, but I had to know what exactly." 

"Smart," Arthur raised his hands and started clapping with a smile. "I still don't understand one thing. If you doubted me, why didn't you try eliminating me when we met earlier?" 

"Are you trying to stall for time?" 

"Yes." 

"Alright, it's because I didn't want to choose the easy way," Rae said with pride. "I wanted to find out your plan and foil it." 

"As if you can eliminate me, to begin with." Arthur's lips arched upward in mockery. "I was the one to defeat the Great Knight before you intervened."
