Chapter 25: The Duel

Leonardo Ricci's POV

The sun was up and so was I. I was ready to take my part in the duel. According to the panels from last night's meeting, we will be given a pistol of our choice, one each, and we will face our opponent in the arena in front of the people.

I think I might be getting sick now.

I never have done any gruesome killing and anything. I know, I was not a saint in the past with what, the influence of my sister. But I'm a changed man now.

I took a deep breath as I was sitting in the waiting room before I went to fight my first opponent. I know I don't say this to everyone that I meet but I might be sorry for my opponent after this.

"Hey, are you okay?" Tyler asked me when I was shaking from my nervousness. I don't want to do this. Why I even doing this right now? I should yield, yeah that was the idea.

I hope you will win and maybe fate will bring us together again ~Kate
