— This concludes the first match, — Alea announced solemnly, her voice echoing across the stadium.
The duel between my younger brother and Aurora's bodyguard had ended in the former's victory. Yet, despite the outcome, a sense of unease refused to leave me. No matter how one looked at it, the bodyguards of family members were among the strongest knights in the nation. Losing to a mere child... The thought gnawed at me.
There was no point in dwelling on it, though. Either way, Raphael was moving on to the finals, where he would face Selena. The second finalist had yet to be determined, and with my sister's bout against Cedric—my personal bodyguard—still ahead, I had no doubts about her victory. After witnessing her fight against Erik and Mia, I was certain of it.
