Airel frown and fells on the ground in a blink.

Lady Farra shocked and look at them with disbelief.

' He's fells with just a small punch on his body? Lady Crystelle even didn't used her sword at all! '

Crown prince Airel struggle to withstand the pain he felt.

' Yo..you..! ' shout Airel.

Crystelle smirk and quickly act like she's getting shock.

Everyone that watch the challenge get stunned and turn their eyes away.

Crystelle hurriedly goes near Airel and hold his arm.

' Your majesty! are you alright? it's just a light punch from a fragile girl like me. How could your body can't handle it? it is your body always so weak like this? should I bring you to the academy hospital? but then, there will be a rumor about how weak you're to get hurt from a small lady like me, your majesty. what should I do now?

Crystelle smile gently at him.

' What a FOOL . you are to think that I will accepted what you've done to me this whole time, your majesty. Please look forward for my revenge on you, Airel. '

Crystelle smile gently while act to pat his shoulder softly.

Crystelle smile innocently.

' Your majesty.. are you going mad? I didn't said anything to you..'

Lady Farra and the others look at him with dissapointed.

Airel stunned.

' Stop nagging about it, Cryst. it's just a little scratch when I'm acted to get hurt. Don't make a big deal out of it, will you? '. exhausted Crystelle.

Crystoypher frown and hold her hand gently back.

' But.. it's your pretty hand. If it get a scar, then, I will make sure that trash is no longer breath in this world, Elle.. ' dejected Crystopher.
