The Moonlight Swordsman

As Aizel left, Vespara quietly entered the room and approached Daisy from behind with a gentle embrace.

"So how was your night, darling? Did you guys finally do it?" She asked.

"No, and it was not good of you to mix some kind of potion in our drinks, Vespara," Daisy said.

She broke away from Vespara's embrace, moved away from her, and made her way to the bed. Vespara followed her closely.

"Oh, come on. I just gave a little push to your love story. What happened? Tell me everything.

"I don't believe nothing would have happened; after all, it took me 2 days to brew that potion hehe…"

Daisy let out a sigh.

"We just kissed."

"Just Kissed?"

"Yes, nothing happened after that. Oh yes, one more thing; he said something."

"I don't know if he meant it or if he was under the effect of the potion. He said he wanted to spend every night with me under the moonlight.

"AWWWW... So beautiful, so what did you say?"

"Nothing; I suddenly fell asleep after that."

"So basically, he just confessed and you left him hanging; darling, you have to accept his feelings or he will think you rejected him."

"He won't, I think." Daisy looked confused.

"It's time for love advice from Vespara, hehe..."

Chester Town…

At Rosewell Castle,

Yelena was sitting in the grand hall, her eyes intently scanning over a pile of paperwork in front of her. Suddenly, a guard came rushing towards her, holding a letter that bore the royal seal.

The guard left immediately once she received the letter. She broke the seal and carefully read the letter, her expression changing as she got to the end. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and thoughts circled in her head.

"What does it say, Yelena?" her father asked. He sipped his tea quietly as he relaxed on the couch.

"The queen has decided the place for the duel, but...

"But?"

"It's the Bloodmoon Castle, where the Duel of Vows will be held tomorrow night,"

"Hmm... Is she trying to mock the War Goddess?"

"I don't know, but one thing is sure father, the royals are still wary of her."

"Hmm… Yelena's father sat on his couch, stroking his beard, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Meanwhile, the letter arrived in Harold's study, and his eyes studied the details with growing fury. His grip on the letter tightened until it crumpled in his hand.

"At last! Tomorrow I can get rid of all of you at once."

Every noble household in the kingdom received a letter informing them of the match and its location.

When the recipients read the contents of the letter, their faces were etched with confusion and bewilderment, wondering what could possibly be the reason for such an unusual venue. Curiosity and excitement seemed to grow quickly.

The crystal ball vibrated, and Vespara quickly retrieved it from her storage ring.

When the interruption happened, she was in the middle of a conversation with Daisy about their relationship and trying to figure out how to tell her about the upcoming Interkingdom tournament.

"What oldie, I am busy right now."

"It's your home,"

"What home?"

"That bitch queen chose the duel location at your old castle; the letter has already been sent to everyone. Tomorrow night, the duel will be held there."

"So what? It's just a broken castle. Let them do whatever they want to do,"

"But Vespara...

"I am busy; I will talk to you later."

Vespara ended the communication with Oldie and quickly stowed the crystal ball in her storage ring.

"Is everything alright?" Daisy asked, looking worried.

"Yes, everything is fine; what could happen to me haha…"

"Then why does your face look like you want to kill someone?"

Her eyes widened with fury, veins bulged on her forehead, and black smoke began to seep out of her.

The smoke quickly spread throughout the city, causing the blue sky to gradually turn darker and darker.

"I don't know what past you had; even though you always said you wanted Aizel's help someday,

"But don't do something in anger that will make you regret it afterward."

Daisy's hand trembled as she placed it against her cheek, feeling a strange sensation as if something was being drained out of her.

Vespara struggled to regain control, and with Daisy's help, she was able to calm down.

The dark sky slowly faded away and the smoke dissipated.

"Thank you, darling, let's get married."

Daisy giggled in response to Vespara's statement, which made her smile.

Freedom City…

Under the orphanage,

David sat among the mourning hunters and mages.

Though they had succeeded in their attack on Tidalheim, they had suffered heavy losses, which weighed heavily on all of them.

To make matters worse, they discovered that Soren had been there throughout the raid, and he was the one who killed the rest of the group.

"Don't take it to heart, guys; even if I were there, we would have been dead by now.

"That guy can't be stopped even if I make mana disappear," David said.

"Then how are we going to win this battle if we can't even beat him? There are even more monsters present in the kingdom," one of the hunters expressed.

"It's not about winning against everyone; we have to choose the target carefully and have to take every advantage we can.

"If you think that we can turn the whole kingdom around in one week, then you are all just dreaming.

"Just wait for tomorrow and let me show you something that strikes another fear in their heart," he replied, a sly smile appearing on his face.

"Tomorrow is the Duel of Vows, right? At least it is guaranteed that one family will surely disappear tomorrow," a woman mage said, trying to cheer them.

hahaha….

"I will make sure to give my family a nice surprise tomorrow," David laughed.

"Are you going there, David? You know everyone will be present there,"

"That's why I will go alone. Make sure you guys don't pull off anything till I am away. Wait for me. We will soon commence our next plan,"
