Arrogant prick

"How did you find out?" asked Vanessa as she backed up. Even now, she maintained her disguise. It was not just her hair that was different, her skin was lighter, her height was taller, her eyes were brighter. 

Nero smirked as he looked at her. He had not seen through her disguise, though he was very curious to learn how exactly she managed to fool the army. The number of checks they had before letting anyone into Lumina were not few. He didn't believe that she could fool them at her level.

"Would you care to venture a guess?" Nero asked, amused by her irritation.

Venessa dropped her shield and pulled out another black dagger and tried attacking Nero once more. Technically speaking, daggers were a bad match up against a spear because he could easily use the length of the spear to keep her at a distance, unable to strike him.

Conversely, if she could break in and come closer, then for him to block her two daggers would be difficult.
