Finally, the day for the duel has come. I certainly didn't expect them to take it this far. Are they going to conduct this in some common training ground. Only wooden sword battle, right?
"My Lady, Lord has requested you to come. We are ready to depart" (Marcus Butler)
I walked outside the house with sara. Esther and Christe were waiting.
"Shall we go"
Esther looking me up and down "Is Christe going to fight or you going to fight? why are you in pant and shirt" (Esther)
Well, it's already hard enough to walk with a women dress in house. "Well, just in case if they asked me to fight"
Sighs "Just don't cause any more trouble than you already doing" (Esther)
Esther gets on the carriage, and I followed him inside. It was nervous sitting near him
"Mom, dad I will take another carriage" (Christe) winked at me and ran off
Oi Oi , did he set us up alone. You just set up two men together awkward
The Carriages started moving. I got shook since it's my first time and holding him for support. Esther Blushes
Why is he blushing for a simple holding? Oh right, it's a women holding a man, OfCourse he is blushing. I dreamt of having this scene in my life while a girl holds me, never thought that i will be on the other side of this scene. Curse you God for doing this to me.
"So how is your heath, you seem to be energetic after that incident" (Esther)
By incident, is he is speaking about the time the real Isagi fainted.
"I am Doing fine" still holding him
"You changed, you would never speak to me or Christe but now you act like a real mom. The butler told me everything that you stepped up to protect Christe. If you are doing this to gain some Favour, then please don't do. That boy is hurt enough already losing his birth mom."
Right, I am doing as I please without realizing the impact of my behavior's. For him, I am his wife now and for Christe, I am his mom. Christe might start to think that he is having a caring mom now. Although I can't be a wife to Esther, I can at least try to be good guardian to Christe.
"I didn't do anything for Favour. I Just did it what I am supposed to do. I know that you won't believe my sudden change, but I don't want to be ignorant forever"
"I believe you, since you never manifested your offensive elemental power. I understand your reason to hate this marriage and striped off your position of becoming empress"
What the. That's a lot of information to take in. "Then what was the light that came out of me yesterday"
"Yes, the butler told me that. I have no idea to be honest. I bet that Carter boy told everything to his dad. Which is why they are conducting this duel. I believe this duel is just a facade of what they planned." (Esther)
Doesn't he mean that I am in trouble if I go there. Did he hide this information before to bring me? Am I a bait? I am taking back for feeling bad for you. You are a demon. pulling my hand from him
"I think I can manage without holding you" pouting
After a While we arrived at the venue. I thought it's some training place with few people, but it was a battlefield arena with a crowd of around 2,00,000 people. Every clan member's including Emperor, and his sons are there. I would have minded my own business if i known it will cause a trouble of this Calibur. We Went to our Seating area while Christine went to prepare for battle.
"I heard that one of my family member. who I casted out as failure caused to trouble to one my beloved clan. Firstly, I like to apologize to Anema clan. Now, As Anema clan head requested a Duel of death. We will proceed and the victor will be granted a wish."(Austine Enigma the emperor)
A Duel of death? It seems he hates my husband and casted me out to him. Ah, I just gave them a reason to hurt his family.
"Whatever you are thinking now is incorrect" (Esther)
"What do you mean by that"
"If hurting me was their goal then they had many opportunities. Whatever happens, do not leave my side" (Esther)
The Duel began.
"I don't plan on wasting time on a weakling like you" (Carter) carter casting a windstorm.
"Don't worry I don't hold back in Arena" (Christe) Christe pulled out his sword from inside his palm
"Wait, Christe can pull out a sword from his body?"(Isagi)
Christe sliced his sword on the wind current leading it to catch a sea of fire and making it hard for carter to cast a spell
The duel went as Carter continuously casting spells while Christe simple using his elemental power to disperse it.
"Is he is holding back? but this is duel of death."(Isagi)
Carter exhausted from casting too many spells and his elemental energy become so low to caste anymore.
"Shall we end this now"(Christe) the atmosphere suddenly went dark and heat radiating through the stadium. The Arena ground boiling like magma. Christe sword engulfed in deep red flame.
Christe coming at carter " No No I might die from that. This crazy bastard" (Carter)
That's right I can use that artifact that guys gave me. carter pulled out a black round artifact with a glasslike substance embedded on it and broke it with his hand.
A dark miasma coming out turning him into half demon. Everyone shocked by seeing that. They both clashed before anyone could react and Christe severely wounded due to the effect of the dark Element. Before the half-turned demon carter make his next move, he was completely frozen with ice engulfing him by the duke of Cressa. (Adrian Cressa).
I and my husband reached there quickly to look after our son. He is unconscious.
"We need the help of Divine element from church to heal him" (Esther)
Yes, I read in a book that an organization called Divinity who uses same light element to heal which later called as Divine element.
"We don't heal people who was considered as outcast by emperor, and I personally don't want to use my power on your filthy clan (Laurent the divine lord)
Esther become angry and went to grab him. He was stopped by Adrian.
"I understand your anger but now is not the time for that"(Adrian)
I Gently hugged my son. Maybe he would have lived if I never came to this world. I could never live a normal life in my past life and now I ended up causing someone's death. Someone who believed his mother finally loving him. tears started streaming down my eyes why? why I am crying for someone who I don't even know. Is this because of guilty? No, I think this is real Isagi feelings. I don't think she hated him. I can feel the sadness all over me. Something happened to her.
A bright glow of light came from isagi heart and covered both of them. It started absorbing the dark element into her.
The emperor and other clans are shocked to see this. People couldn't believe what they are seeing.
"Isagi is healing him?" (Esther)
"That's not healing, she is absorbing the dark element into her. The element that demons use. (Adrian)
The first prince started smirking Finally (Casillas)
