Chapter 254

As he came closer. Jamie stabbed at him.

He side stepped around the sword, put his arms around Jamie's shoulder, picked him up in the air and slammed him down in a single moment.

Jamie coughed and more blood fell down the visor.

He got up from over Jamie and took the hand that still held the sword.

He pulled at it but Jamie stubbornly held onto the sword.

Slowly but surely, he removed all the fingers from the sword and took it from him.

As soon as he did, Jamie used the last of his strength to hit him with his shield.

The shield struck his armor.

It's magical properties absorbed the force behind the attack but he still pretended to stumble and fall.

The queen shouted something in the background and Jamie slowly got up from the ground, coughing blood a few more times in the process.

They both got up at the same time.

Jamie readied his shield and charged at him.

He readied his own and they clashed.

It was during times like these that the losing party usually get a boost from their immense willpower, allowing them to topple their stronger opponent.

No such thing happened here.

Jamie was once again thrown to the floor. His wooden shield looking battered and broken and even his chest plate looked dented.

There was a silence in the courtyard as Jamie coughed a few more times before he once again got up from the ground on shaky legs.

The queen did not shout anything this time. But Jamie charged at him once again.

He did not even know why.

Shield met against shield and Jaime was sent flying once again.

It was almost painful to watch. He wanted to break one of Jamie's hand or leg and end this match already. But Jamie's immense resolve made him want to see how long the man will last.

Jamie stood on shaky legs once again, stumbled and almost fell to the ground but held himself up.

He lifted the shield with difficulty and got ready for another shield bash.

He got ready for a shield bash of his own but at the last moment, Jamie side stepped and… stabbed at him with the sword he had disarmed him with.

The stab was so sudden and quick that he only had enough time to move by a few inches.

The sword his struck the side of his helmet and was deflected.

His magical helmet absorbed most of the force but some still went through, jerking his head to the side and making his offbalance.

He fell to the ground and a few feet behind him, Jamie fell to the ground once again.

He blinked a few times in shock, wondering when did he picked up his sword.

Was Jamie leading him this whole time so that he would throw the man toward the place where he had left his sword so that he could pick it up and defeat him with a surprise attack.

And it would worked as well.

If he was not covered from head to toe with Magical armor.

He got up from the ground and looked at where Jamie was struggling to get up and felt a sense of frustration and respect.

Frustration at himself for falling to the man's ploy and respect for the man.

But this couldn't go on any longer.

He would not suffer any more surprise attacks.

He went up to Jamie and put a foot on his back, making him fall to the ground once again as is arms failed to lift the additional weight.

He kicked the sword in Jamie's hand, disarming the knight once again.

Then he put his sword on Jamie's neck and looked toward The King.

"This match has ended." He said and the king nodded.

There was a pin drop silence in the courtyard as the king got up from his chair and said "The winner of this round is Lord Domeric Bolton."

The people cheered at once and he felt Jamie stop struggling and go limp beneath his foot.

He removed the foot from his back and distanced himself from the man as Maester Lewin and two Red Cloaks came to check up on Jamie Lannister.

He turned toward Lord Stark who was holding onto the two Valyrian swords when the Queen came out of her shock and shouted.

"He cheated!"
