57 The Duel

Cecilia's pov

Here we go again. I smirked coldly, watching Ron toss his white gloves onto the floor.

The soft music ceased, and while the nobles maintained calm faces, their gleaming pupils betrayed their excitement entirely.

As per the tradition of royal banquets, there would always be some dueling taking place in this hall, a longstanding rule of royal banquets throughout the ages. After all, what could excite us werewolves more than blood?

I couldn't help but scoff at the thought of someone daring to challenge Klaus.

Ron tossed the gloves to Klaus, a gesture signifying the challenge, as per the warrior's etiquette. If Klaus picked up the gloves, it meant he accepted Ron's challenge.

And now, Klaus slowly raised his hand, undoing the brooch on his chest and picking up the gloves in front of him. Klaus's cloak slid off onto the seat, revealing his suit.

That bastard. I thought.
