Rematch

            The moment Bethany asked this question, Savarus looked at her.

'Is she trying to defend me, it's so cute' Savarus said inwardly.

"Don't even think about it, just by the look on your face, I clearly know what you are thinking".

"What I'm I thinking, don't assume anything".

"I clearly heard what you say on your mind".

"Like you said "my mind", we all know that nobody can tell what's in someone else mind".

Oscar was just observing both of them with an open mouth.

'They both exchange words more than strangers should, what am I missing here, Bethany would never lie to me, so if she say she doesn't know him that means she doesn't know him'.

"I can tell you what you just think right now" reply Bethany.

"well, why don't you back up your words by telling me".

"you said that, I was defending you which I'm not and you also said I was cute which I don't like coming from your mouth after what you did".

"I will be damned, what did I do? asked Savarus.

"You clearly know this is my house right?, and I can do whatever I want to you, so better give me the respect I deserve, if not you will be crawling on the floor right now".

"There hasn't been anyone bold enough to tell me that in some years now, I'm quite curious to know, how you will be able to do it".

"Dad, do something, he is clearly insulting me" cried Bethany.

"That's enough Bethany, he is a guest and we don't treat our guest with a fight".

"That sound weird coming from your mouth because not too long ago you were the one trying to kill me for visiting".

"It's just a misunderstanding and it's already in the past, don't you think so?.

"Dad, you fought with him!, what was the outcome, I definitely know that he was pleading for you to spare his life" interjected Bethany.

"You wish!, I'm pretty much sure no man would be able to defeat me".

"Pride goes before a fall, what do you think about having a rematch? asked Bethany father.

"I will pass on that, I don't feel like fighting right now".

"Don't tell me you are scare after the performance you display, I would like to know you, so let's put it this way after the fight you will tell me about yourself and I might consider letting you talk to my daughter for a while, because I can clearly see you are interested in her".

"Dad what are you trying to say by that" asked Bethany.

"Deal" Savarus interjected, before Bethany could get her answer.

After some few minutes of walking, both of them have gotten to an arena meant specially for those who wants to have a duel with the leader.

"You guys can leave, except Bethany, this fight is just between us, I don't want any of you to interfere" Oscar said to his guards.

"Yes sir".

"Won't you use a sword" asked oscar looking at Savarus.

 After the guards departed from the arena. Oscar, Bethany and Savarus was the only ones left now in the arena.

"I don't like using sword because, I don't want to mistakenly get lost in the moment and loss myself" Savarus reply.

"Well suit yourself" Oscar said already drawing out his sword.

"Dad, be careful, he is really fast and nimble in movement" Bethany shouted from the side of the arena.

"Don't worry Bethany, I know that already, but your dad doesn't feel like losing today".

"You can take your stand now. I will give you an advantage by me attacking" Savarus said.

"Come on then, we don't have all day".

The moment Oscar just finished saying his word, Savarus has move with a great speed to attack.

'This is a good moment to strike, now that he is off balance, I should strike at his feet first, it will take him completely unaware'.

Just as Oscar finish thinking and was about to strike, Savarus has already move to the left side readying to throw a fist.

'How did he know I was about to strike, it's like he can read my thoughts or see few seconds ahead but that's not possible' Oscar said inwardly while blocking the punch with the hilt of his sword.

'Wow the punch is way more powerful than I thought, I can clearly feel my hand going numb, why am I thinking about this too much, or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse if I lost'.

Savarus didn't give him time to stable himself before he flash step to his back ready to land a punch but he hesitated at the last minute, making Oscar quickly use it to his advantage by cutting his wrist. It didn't get too deep because Savarus has quickly remove his hand.

'No wonder he is one of the clan leader, they don't hesitate at all, like they don't have feeling, well I think I deserve it, next time, I won't hesitate'.

Savarus was going for an attack again, but this time with a little bit of seriousness than before.

'He clearly got an opening that time, so why did he hesitate and didn't do it, is it because of Bethany'.

Oscar was now taking a different stand, sheathing his sword in place, the moment Savarus got close to him, he unsheathed the sword with a great speed striking at Savarus.

'You can never surprise someone who is six times faster than you' Savarus just did a spin around the sword and got to the back finally delivering a kick to Oscar taking him off balance and laying on the floor. Savarus didn't waste anytime to take the sword from Oscar and ready to strike.

As the sword was going straight to Oscar neck a voice was heard.

"No please don't" Bethany pleaded with a great voice.

The sword was just a little inch away from his neck.

"Given up yet, or you still want to continue" asked Savarus while giving Oscar a hand which he took.

"An interesting fight, you did more than I expected, let's go wash up first before having a conversation in private" said oscar.
