The knight is mine

I finally closed my eyes when Josephine was hurt so much. I sat on the ground as I was dead tired. I took some deep breaths as the knights circled her and took her with them. The last wound was severe, I knew. But if I did not have done that, I would not have won.

Though I was still only second. Now I wonder if I would have lost this match. Would I have still been second? Then what was the sense of doing so much hard work!?

Shocked people finally came back to their senses and an uproar sounded again.

"You did a good job, now you are officially my knight" said William as he walked towards me. I stood up with some difficulty and bowed my head, accepting the honor he was providing me with.

But before I could thank him I heard the voice that I could not forget even in my nightmares. The voice that had kept me awake for years and had forced me to return back in time.
