A Rough Experience

Distracted repeatedly due to Agost's motive, despite being in the lead, everyone's reaction caused Arihan to shift his attention away. 

Agost took the chance and slammed his palm on Arihan's neck and snatched the sword. He leaped away to create distance before Arihan could attack.

The ones who hadn't gotten a glimpse of the crescent before, gasped when Agost spun around. They had heard Alora was going to marry Agost and leave Anka. If Agost had the crescent, then would Alora be the crown princess? 

Then how could they send Alora out of Anka?

Arihan was no different. He froze looking at the crescent on Agost's back. His eyes shifted to Alora who was shell-shocked. 

Were they trying to separate the ones who were fated for each other?

Arihan just stood there, neither attacking nor defending himself. His mind was swirling with complex thoughts.
