488 The Military General

Kenai was breathing hard. There was tightness in his facial expression as he watched the crowd cheering his defeat. He glared at Adrianna as she walked towards him with a reddening face. A vein engorged in his forehead and he suppressed an urge to snap at the wizards and witches who continued to clap at Haldir's win. His mother, Yanga, looked back at him with a pained stare as skin bunched around her eyes. She had clutched her gown and her shoulders had curled over her chest in anguish. She wanted him to become victorious in this contest but he was further shamed. How could Adrianna do this? Her eyes fixated on Kenai who had lost in less than five minutes. She had no face left to even look at people around. She heard someone remark, "Kenai doesn't have two brain cells to even rub them together." Others laughed at the joke.
