Chapter 31- Please stop, you’ve won!
A grin spread across Hunter's face, it had been so long since he had received a hit from a duel. He lunged towards her, his sword slashing forward. Elora was about to dodge, but her legs stepped on her gown, causing her not to dodge fully and the tip of his sword, tore at her face, drawing the first blood.
Elora froze when she felt something warm trickle down her chin, the crowd held their breath, even Hunter paused a bit by her actions, but he followed quickly by another attack. In a duel, injury if not death, was possible.
Elora left herself open, her gaze on the red blood on her fingers, something in her seemed to snap. The crowd watched the sword reach her, a few felt a surge of satisfaction, hoping the strike would end the queen.
