Although she saw it all vividly, Selene still couldn't believe it.
Could her daughter change now?
Use her flames?
Multiple different weapons?
What the hell happened?
Magnus and Miriel, who were by her side, had similar expressions.
This was her first fight, yet she was doing splendidly—and against an experienced warrior, no less.
Something like this was simply unthinkable!
While Kaela was still in the air, Seraphina pointed her fingers at her and launched a stream of purple and black flames directly at her!
Understanding that she had to block this with all her strength or risk serious bodily harm, Kaela swung her axe in a downward arc while covering her entire body with mana.
"ORAAAAAA!!"
BOOM!!!
After a deafening explosion, the stadium fell into complete silence.
No one moved, and no one could see the result of the collision as a thick cloud of smoke filled the air.
Suddenly, the Hellfox fell from the sky, her eyes closed and her body covered in sweat and soot.
Her axe had been completely destroyed, with pieces of it falling onto the battlefield.
When Seraphina saw that Kaela wasn't moving, she immediately spread her wings and flew to catch her before she could hit the ground.
"I got you." As she caught her like a princess, she could see that her injuries weren't serious, but defending against her hellish flames had drained every drop of mana from her body.
She hadn't used enough power to seriously hurt her, but if Kaela had used even a little less mana to defend herself, her entire body would have been covered in terrible burns.
She was basically taking a nap after an intense training session.
"Hey! Can I get a he-" Before Seraphina could finish her request for help from the crowd, her head was grabbed by the young woman in her arms, and their lips met.
Seraphina and most of the spectators were incredibly surprised to see that the young woman had not only recovered quickly but had even kissed her opponent.
Selene, Miriel, and Magnus seemed to be the only ones who weren't surprised by this development—they had even somewhat expected it.
Hellfoxes are a very simple race; they decide their roles with their partners through battle competitions.
Once defeated, the victor would become the dominant one in the relationship, and the loser would submit completely, regardless of whether they were male or female.
Due to the special circumstances behind Kaela's marriage to Seraphina, she believed she would never be able to follow her tribe's customs, but today, she had obtained her deeply buried desire.
She had lost the fight, but despite feeling disappointed—she was ecstatic!
She finally had a true wife!
"AAAAAAA!!!"
"They're adorable!"
"Damn, I want a girlfriend..."
"She really won... The Young Mistress actually won!!"
The loud cheers from the crowd snapped Seraphina out of the little mental shock that Kaela's surprise attack had left her in. If Kaela had used that attack during the battle, she would have been finished!
"Where the hell did that come from..?" She hadn't expected her first kiss to be stolen like that, but honestly, she didn't mind.
She was just confused about why Kaela suddenly being unconscious had put her in the mood for this kind of thing.
"Is she a masochist?" she wondered.
"We made a bet, remember?" Kaela said with a seductive smile.
"Ah... Yeah, I guess we did."
—Sorry for thinking you were a pervert, Kaela...
Kaela leaned into her and rested her head on her shoulder. "I belong to you now, so you have to treat me well, okay?"
"...Of course."
There was a lot she had to learn about being a wife and being a woman, but when one of her wives looked at her with such tenderness, everything seemed worth it.
Kaela's ears suddenly perked up, and she looked at her new wife with expectant eyes.
"Do you... want to go again?"
Seraphina didn't answer. Instead, she decided to take the offensive this time and stole her wife's plump lips.
Far from being surprised, Kaela became a bit more aggressive and slid her tongue into her wife's mouth.
The crowd watching let out whistles and loud applause once again.
This was like a play!
Watching a young and sexy couple fight intensely and then kiss was exactly what romance novels always described!
The people in the crowd who were in relationships made simultaneous vows not to let their partners sleep that night.
Interestingly, nine months later, many babies were about to be born in the castle.
Breaking the kiss, Seraphina slowly whispered, "Sure... We can go as much as you want."
Kaela smiled so widely that it was impossible to tell if her eyes were even open.
