Chapter 40: Friendly Battle(3)

A few minutes remain before the start of the game. In the seat of Desmond, Clementine had a serious conversation with Diana.

"Remember my child. I won't help you if you lose. You have to accept this no matter what the situation of defeat.

"And one more thing, use all trick to win." Clementine's last words made Diana hesitate.

"But mother, wouldn't that be considered cheating ?!" Her conscience could not accept victory in a dirty way. This trait she inherited from her father, who was always loyal to King Edward.

In contrast, Clementine was a little cunning, but there was still a hint of kindness on her conscience. Heard her daughter denied it, Clementine only laughed. "If I am fair, then your father will choose another woman over your mother. Just obey my words if you want to broke the engagement."

Heard directly from Clementine's mouth, Diana shocked. She did not expect her mother to use a cunning method.

Today there were seeds of doubt in her heart about her mother, whom she had always trusted and believed to use fairway. "Fine, mom, I'll try." She went straight to the arena without waiting for an answer from her mother, with a bit teary eyes.

Seeing Diana's attitude, Alice wanted to catch up with her to relieve her emotions, but Desmond held her back. "The world is cruel; don't expect the world to be fair if you act fairly."

Desmond looked at Clementine, who was not bothered by her daughter's attitude, but she could see the worry in her eyes.

Even a mother must be strict with her child's future.

Shaken his head, Desmond released his hand on Alice after she calmed a bit and then focused on the arena.

…

In the arena, after waited for a long time, finally, the match began.

"This time, it is a match between Diana, the daughter of Vesta, and Gibson, the son of Lord Andre.

"The bet used is marriage. If Diana loses, she will agree to marry Gibson. And vice versa, if Diana wins, Gibson will not bother her and can't propose a marriage proposal again.

"For this match, it will be decided by myself. Someone will be considered the winner if the opponent confesses to surrender or the opponent can no longer move.

"Is everything clear?" Before the match started, Elizabeth had checked the contestants' condition and claimed that they were healthy and were not affected by any spells.

"Yes." 2x

"Alright, the match can start!"

After Elizabeth's words, the entire room fell silent. The silence broke with Gibson's laughter. "Hahaha, why you being a cowardly cat now? Attack me. " Patted his chest, Gibson mocked Diana, who had closed her eyes.

Heard Gibson's taunt, Diana was unfazed. She was concentrated on gathering energy. After a few seconds had passed, she finally opened her eyes. " Ready to lose, round ball. "

Diana's whole body was enveloped in a golden glow. Diana did not move; let the light enveloped her entire body.

After the light faded, it was seen that her body was covered by armor made of golden light. The armor also had a pair of wings. Her body flew in mid-air. Then she flew toward Gibson, her speed not too fast, but with every area she passed, it became burned and leave a trail golden light mark.

The armor was without helmets, made her red-haired glow in golden light; this seemed like a princess from hell with heaven armor. Diana also had a great sword, which she held with both hands. The blade was also enveloped in golden light. Every time she moves, the great sword's exterior light grows bigger, made the original great sword size became twice.

Seeing Diana, who was very excited to beat him, Gibson immediately cast a spell, and the ground around him gathered in his body. The soil then formed two gloves made of earth.

The gloves were enormous, the size of a giant hand. Gibson then screamed as Diana came to him. "Come to papa, darling, hahaha."

"You bast ***." Stacked the anger she had always kept, Diana swung her great sword horizontally at Gibson's giant hand.

* thrum * * clank *

Like a berserker warrior, Diana continued to swing her big sword in a bear manner. Gibson was forced into a defensive position, protected his body by bent his hands, hoped that his giant hand could continue to scrape Diana's attacks.

"Come on, come on! Get out of your turtle shell, ugly bast ***. "

* thrum * * clank *

"You ... Crazy woman." Gibson started to felt frightened, sweat poured over his body. His breathing was also irregular, and he was already started to felt his hands go numb. "Stop ... Bitch." His fear grew when he saw that his giant hands were dropped a few pebbles.

On the other hand, Diana did not hear the word surrender; she still attacked him while got fiercer. Her stamina continued to decrease, made her attacks slowed down. She became irritated and shouted, "You coward! What man you are ?! "

Then she flew upward and raised her great sword as high as possible. "Take this !!" And then dropped it. The great sword fell quickly under the weight, towards Gibson's giant hand. "Eh, this is a little dangerous ..." Because she can't stay too long in the air, she landed and started ran, tried to avoid her great sword impact.

In Gibson's eyes, he can't see anything except his giant hand, but suddenly he felt Diana's attack stopped. Opened both of his hands, he saw Diana, who wanted to run away for no reason. "Hehe, where are you going, coward. " His giant hand grew longer and managed to catch Diana's body. Like rubber, the giant hand suddenly shrank slowly, pulled Diana back toward Gibson. "Chop! Chop."

Diana, who was pulled by Gibson's hand panicked, she looked up and saw his great sword hit her head. *crash*

Diana fell to the ground. The great sword also cut Gibson's giant arm. Gibson was dumbfounded when he saw a great sword suddenly cut his hand.

Then he saw Diana's situation, which was crushed by his giant stone hand, struggled to escape. "Hahaha, look, your weapon doesn't want you, hahaha."

The whole audience also saw this and laughed. " Is this what's called a backfired? " asked one of the audience.

"That's right! Haha, I've never seen anything this ridiculous. "

Desmond and Alice were tried to hold back their laughter as hard as possible. They were forced to hold back their laughter because they wanted to respect Clementine, whose face was already flushed with anger.

"Stupid girl, I told you to use a cunning method instead of using a knight-like method.." Clementine then hit her thigh. "It seems I have to educate hard after this."

In the arena, Diana, who was laid on the ground, heard all taunts faintly. She felt ashamed as well; apart from the wounds she had on her head, it was nothing like the embarrassment she was got now.

A few seconds later, the audience saw Diana did not move. Then they saw Diana fainted on the grounds with a face red like a tomato.

Gibson then looked at Elizabeth. " Is this considered a win? Look at her. She had fainted from the embarrassment, hahaha. "

Elizabeth just snorted. She didn't like people who bullied innocent girls like Diana. Elizabeth then moved one of the mirrors she controlled to check Diana's condition. The glass emitted a light shined on her body.

"The winner is Master Gibson.

"According to the agreement, Master Gibson will marry Miss Elizabeth. So from Diana's side, does anyone have any objections?"

All the audience was shocked when they saw Clementine, namely Diana's mother, raise her hand. They all knew that a parent was strictly forbidden to help with her child's business.

"Yes, I object. Before Master Gibson married my daughter, someone proposed to her first." Clementine then turned to Desmond and laughed slyly.
