Just as she expected, the woman won.
She didn't just win. She actually trampled the man's pride by targeting his clothes, shredding them using her dagger. At the end of the round, the man was wounded and naked, unable to move or say a thing.
While this only made her worry, the fight actually hyped up the crowd. Cheers and laughter erupted, followed by some people calling out the woman's name.
They wanted to see blood; they wanted to see gore. They are here to enjoy themselves and the woman just gave them that. Even the King was smirking under his goatee.
The next fights were actually the same, Nesca won by embarrassing their opponents. All of them were hiding their strength.
Just what is going on here?
Sadly, she couldn't just leave now.
2 more chapters before 30k words.
I am almost at my target word count!
I promised priv chapters too. Let's try to do that before the 15th! My net isn't as good in the past few days. I am honestly struggling to write alone. Having company is just different. It feels like you are in a library or a coffee shop. lol.
Anyway, stay safe and healthy folks!
