176 Pre-elimination (9) - The fight between the princesses

The fairer skin princess, with hair that was tied in a braid and which reached all the way to her waist, was holding the sword that had precious red rubies on it. With every move and every slash, she created whirlpools that moved toward her opponent as quickly as lightning.

These whirlpools, if they were not destroyed by the other princess, would hit the barrier between the arena and spectators, causing the barrier to shake violently before it absorbed the whirlpools into it. 

"First Princess Iris! First Princess Iris!!!" some of the members of the audience cheered loudly and whistled. Their clean high-quality garments and their servants who were standing by their sides showed the ranks of these spectators who dared to openly cheer for the princess of their choices. 

Furthermore, the fact that they were allowed to watch meant that these weren't just the children of any basic noble families.
