Chapter 284
Chapter 284
Kara looked up in surprise and muttered:
«Someone has challenged me to a duel?» – She couldn’t remember the last time someone had challenged her first place. Besides, this duel was taking place without prior notice! The princess became increasingly annoyed at being presented with a fait accompli. What cheeky lunatic was calling her? Anyway, it was an excellent chance to blow off some steam that had bottled up during this long awful day. Kara decided to leave the blonde girl for dessert if she had any energy left to deal with her.
The princess didn’t even think of ignoring the challenge. She quickly changed into her combat uniform and hurried to the arena. A vicious smile was playing upon her lips, her fists clenched with barely restrained fury.
Artie hit the window frame angrily. – «Who has lost their brains to challenge Her Highness without notice? It’s an intolerable insult to her dignity! I won’t be the leader of Princess Kara fan club if I don’t beat the shit out of the bastard!»
His henchmen nodded in agreement.
Everyone in Cernos knew that insulting the princess was tantamount to suicide because her crazy fan club would skin any jerk alive! Whoever the cheeky bastard was, he would have to face cruel punishment right after his defeat in the duel.
In the next few minutes, the audience had multiplied several times. The news of the duel has already spread throughout the dorm. Even the basement residents had begged their upstairs neighbors for permission to watch the great battle between Kara, Cernos student number one, and some cheeky anon! His secret identity kept everyone guessing. Was it the prince? No, it was unlikely. Last time he lost to her, leaving the ring with broken ribs. Maybe it’s one of the new students?
Prince Charles had just looked out of the window to find out why everyone was screaming bloody murder.
Kara gracefully walked into the arena, attracting almost a thousand admiring glances, and pulled her gorgeous hair up in a ponytail. She was simmering with curiosity, too. Who was her mysterious opponent? And, by the way, where was he?
There was only a minute left before the duel started, but no one had shown up. The fan club members grew increasingly irritated. They were convinced that the madman should have been waiting for the princess at the arena like a dog for his treasured bone! But the asshole was making her wait for a whole minute! He definitely had a death wish…
The final minute was coming to an end.
Kara stamped her foot angrily. She was standing there in front of everyone, waiting for her opponent, who thought he was an emperor himself. Who else would have the courage to challenge her and make her? Kara thought that things couldn’t get any worse…
~bam~
The fat ugly guy jumped – or rather fell with a crash – right into the center of the arena from somewhere above. – «Aaaah! I seem to have broken my leg! GODS, IT HURTS! Aaaaah» – He yelled in a high-pitched voice.
«You?!» – Kara exclaimed, stunned.
«He?!» – The fan club members exclaimed with frenzied rage.
«Аaah! What a freak! Gods!» – The girl in the crowd screamed in disgust.
«Is it Dick Baker?!» – The boys in the crowd had heard a lot about the freak.
Kyon looked up at the gorgeous princess and froze on the spot, amazed at her beauty.
With the last second on the big clock, the protective barrier was activated.
A look of disgust came over Kara’s face as she slowly clenched her fists, intending to attack the hideous monster opposite her and smear him in a thin layer across the arena… She was going to hill the wicked creature!
«I give up…» – Dick whispered reverently.
The judge was completely confused. He didn’t understand what was going on. Still hesitating, he removed the barrier and announced the winner.
«But my heart never will…» – Dick continued, putting his hand over his heart. With an expression of a great martyr, he pretended to be standing on a broken knee. – «…not will my soul! I will conquer the whole world, the moon and the sun, I will cross the endless seas! I’ll get the rainbow and the stars for you, my love! Please, marry me right now! Don’t break my heart. Now and forever, you are my goddess!» – He intoned in a melodious baritone either a poem or a song. – «Please, never forget that my heart belongs only to you!» – With an awkward wave of his hand, Dick took out 101 dark-red roses from the ring.
A thousand spectators almost fell over, and someone even dropped out of the window. Princess Kara was loved and adored by many, but no one had ever dared to confess his love to her, and even more so, propose to her. Even if Artemis, the fan club leader and one of the kingdom’s most promising practitioners, was ten times more courageous, he would consider himself unworthy for this bold, impudent step. The ugly freak had made the dreams of many come true. And what was so special about him apart from his pathetic cultivation and complete lack of manners?
All the girls in the crowd looked like they were forced to eat a maggot. They genuinely sympathized with the princess. To hear a confession from this ugly pig? They’d better die!
The fan club members stood like stone idols.
The prince laughed maliciously. Serves the demon bitch right!
Kara’s ample boobs rose angrily, her face flushed crimson red. She felt so humiliated as if she were publicly stripped and smeared with hot sticky tar.
«Vile creature…» – Kara hissed like a snake. – «This time, you’ve really crossed the line. You sentenced yourself to death the moment you insulted me in front of the entire school!»
«Your Highness, I never wanted to scare or offend you!» – Dick tried to justify himself. – «It took me too long to poop, but I didn’t want to waste even a minute of your precious time. That’s why I rashed here even without wiping my ass. I jumped out the window like an angel of heaven! I risked my life to be in time for our appointment. Isn’t it sweet of me? You can’t blame a saint for something that happened against his will! I had no idea that eating ice cream off the floor would end in…»
«Shut up, filthy pig! You’re risking your life now!» – Kara squealed hysterically, her whole body shaking.
To say that everyone was shocked by what they heard would be an understatement. The students didn’t understand if they were dreaming or going crazy? Where did common sense end, and where did Dick’s ego, inflated to planetary proportions, begin? The senior students had heard enough about the cheater, but all the rumors paled in comparison to what was going on.
The princess drew a few shaky breaths to calm herself. She shouldn’t act rashly. She should use official accusations and punishment, or the people of the kingdom wouldn’t understand, and, most importantly, her mother would severely punish her.
Common sense and the beautiful dark-red roses in the ugly freak’s hands had stopped the princess from the furious attack.
«You are charged with insulting the first princess Grand. You challenged me to a duel only to confess your unwanted feelings, thereby wasting my precious time and distracting me from important matters. I sentence you to…»
Everyone held their breath.
«Wait a moment, Your Highness!» – Dick interrupted her, holding up his index finger. – «You accepted my challenge, didn’t you. You knew what you were getting into. Why do you blame it all on me then?» – He looked sincerely perplexed
«I knew what I was getting into?» – The princess muttered, working herself into a frenzy again.
Dick nodded with an air of importance. – «Yes, you did! You knew who and why had challenged you, and yet, you came here of your own free will! I am sure it’s all because you have been desperate to find such a brave, handsome and charming man like me!»
The princess’s fans were about to explode with anger, but they didn’t dare show their emotions, fearing to get in trouble with Her Highness. The prince burst out laughing. In his opinion, the whole situation was utterly ridiculous. The rest of the students stared at each other in shock, some of them dropped to the floor, completely drained. Even Kara staggered a bit. It was the worst day of her life.
«Why are you so surprised? Did you read the message to the end?» – Dick asked, raising his bushy unibrow.
All the students looked up at once. The message was still flickering on the bright screen, saying, “The battle with Princess Kara for the first place… in her heart. Dick Baker.”
«WHAA-A-AAAT?!» – Hundreds of surprised voices screamed at the same time. Either they all went blind, or the message was different, or rather, incomplete! System failure? Now the princess couldn’t punish him! How could it happen?
Kara’s full lips parted in disbelief, her elegant eyebrows arched gracefully. She turned out to have come here by mistake to meet the freak who made her shudder with disgust. The bastard wasn’t guilty of anything, and she was absolutely powerless. Was she already dead and went to hell?
{No way… To hell with it!} – The cup of Kara’s patience was overflowing. She wanted to kill the fat freak, regardless of public opinion and other limiting factors. The princess was sick and tired of justifying her every step with alleged concern for the royal family’s dignity.
Kara’s garnet eyes fell on the fat guy. Her fierce, searing killing intent filled the arena, raising the temperature by several degrees. The demoness already jerked to attack Dick when she saw the powerful bodyguard behind his back and stopped short. It wasn’t worth the risk. Her attack would start a fierce battle creating many victims and total destruction of the arena and even the entire residence hall. She hadn’t lost her mind!
Meanwhile, Dick noticed Kara’s eyes lit up with love (it was hatred, of course) and happily jumped up. – «Ha! Ha ha ha! I can see the fire in your eyes. Don’t restrain yourself! I knew it! I KNEW that you accepted the challenge because you were subconsciously interested in me! You want me to be your first both in your heart and…! Let the battle begin!» – Dick clapped his hands and threw them up like a great orchestra conductor. Thousands of crimson rose petals fell from the sky at once, and a tender, romantic tune started playing somewhere up above, apparently from the window of room number one.
With the grace of a pregnant hippo, Dick moved his hips to the beat of the music. Twisting his arms in different directions like a crazy spider, he gradually approached the princess with an air of the alpha male. The playboy bit his thick lip, making flirtatious waves with his unibrow.
