Villainess Becomes The Knight

I stood there waiting for her to initiate, and when she tried attacking, I blocked her move with my sword. Putting my full force to hold her sword, I lifted my feet toward the area between her legs and kicked her there. Though it was not that dangerous in cade of girls the pain was still inexplicable

I pushed with my feet against her body to push her off balance and she fell down again, but instead of attacking her this time I took her sword and used both swords to put it in her neck and she looked at me with widened eyes.

"It's time to accept defeat, Sylvia. Though I salute you for your courage and stubbornness' 'I said with a smile as she bit her lips. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

That was the moment I realised winning was so important to her and I took that chance from her.

I sat on the ground catching my breath. Though I was not injured much yet, except my hand that had turned red and was in pain. I was drained. I had used all my energy in dealing with Sylvia while I knew the competition had just started. Josephine would be my next competition and she had taken part only to defeat me also she would give it her all,

"The winner of this round is Abigail Essendson, she is in 2nd position now, and the next match is between Abigail Essendson and Josephine Christetia." the knight announced as I stood up finally.

The sun was high in the sky now, and its heat was burning me. My whole body was covered with sweat and dust. My clothes got wet a long time ago and I was burning.

"Can I have water before the next round?" I asked her as she stood in front of me.

As per the rules if the competitor denies, you have to fight the way you are. My wish to take a break was in her hands. But I was not a fool to ask for that. So having something to drink was already good enough.

She looked at me tilting her head and nodded. "If you want you can take a ten minute break" she added after a pause but i shook my head.

"Water is good enough." I replied and she continued to look at me intently.

"Leo. bring cold juice for the lady." she ordered and the man ran away.

He bought watermelon juice for me and I gave him a grateful smile, which he returned as he helped me with the empty glass. I must have drunk it unceremoniously in a gulp as she stared at me and chuckled.

"You are not at all like a lady, Abigail" she said, but her words were not mocking. She was just amused at me.

Sometimes I felt I was her source of entertainment. That was why she kept coming to poke me and annoy me.

If only there had been television at this period. Then she would not have annoyed me so much.

"Ready to fight little girl?" she asked me and I chuckled. "You are just 17, your highness" I reminded her as I took my stance too.

It was a flight of life and death now.

I moved and tried to attack first at her hand but she lifted her sword, moving the sharper part towards me and blocked my attack.

There was a smirk on her face. As if the cat was playing with the mouse and I gritted my teeth.

I moved and waited for her to attack this time. She raised a brow and turned her body to one side to attack my neck. I redirected her attack by pushing her sword out of the way with my sword. Then I moved in to attack her. It was a very effective move that allowed me to go from defending to attacking in a matter of seconds.

My attack was unexpected and it hit her hand, a gush of blood coming out. She stepped away to take a breath and then with one swift motion she moved and attacked me again.

I knew she was going to return so I had already backflipped and stood holding my sword tightly and stood a foot away from her.

"What happened, running away this soon?" she said tilting her hand and I started moving in a circle around her. She stood at her place confidently but her eyes never left mine.

I brought my sword forward towards her. Then I stepped towards her and slightly to the right. It gave me some space away from her and prevented her from attacking me. I brought the sword down in a straight line and tried to hit her. She moved towards the back and the sword could only touch her other hand before she turned.

She was looking angry and then she moved back, taking two steps. She took the stance and ran towards me with a tight grip on sword. But I kneeled and held her leg when she moved towards me. Her sword was already on my neck but my both hands had held her legs and using all my force, I flipped her and threw on the ground. She fell with a thud and rubbed the back of her head as her face turned pale.

I moved and took my sword from the ground but she was about to stand before I could attack her. I tried to throw her once again but this time she was prepared and moved her sword to attack my shoulder. I tried to bend towards the left but she had already marked it. Though the damage was not much, she was getting points.

Now we both were standing in the distance waiting for each other to attack again. Minutes passed but no one moved. We just continued to look at each other. This way I would lose since I was already tired.

I took a deep breath and moved forward to attack her first.
