Duel • 1

"A duel?"

"Is she serious?"

"What is Daughter Luna doing?"

"He he he he! And I thought nothing interesting was going to happen today."

Aeric's eyes narrowed at Luna, his gaze turning dark and his lips stretching to a frown. 'She wants a fucking duel?'

The tension in the training hall was extremely palpable at this point. Whispering conversation sizzled amongst the few Daughters, especially between Nyx and Nyssa, who weren't very fond of the high Daughters.

Melina was the one who broke through the murmurs, she had an expression of confusion as she really didn't expect her elder sister to do something as rash as this. With urgency, she hurriedly strode toward her sister.

"Luna, what are you doing?" her voice was sharp but carried a note of worry. "You're challenging him to a duel? Why? That's madness. I haven't complained about the Crest. I'm fine with it, actually. I want it. Why are you making a big deal about it?"
