I held up the two swords on the shelf and said, "I see you're pretty good with the spear, and I'd like to have a duel with you. Is that okay with you?"
Morien quickly waved his hand and said, "I think we should forget it. I'm afraid I might hurt you."
I immediately said with disdain: "Huh? Do you think I'm weak?"
Morian took a step back, sweat dripping down his face, and said, "No, it's mainly because you're a guest. If I hurt you, I feel it would have a bad impact on the entire city of Kaiat."
I immediately held up my two knives and looked at him fiercely: "No, I will fight you."
Morian was startled and stepped back, saying, "Alright, Commander, I obey your orders. I'm going to use all my strength. I'll try my best to finish you off in one blow without getting you hurt."
I was annoyed. "Oh hey! I advise you not to be so arrogant. I'll try my best to decide the outcome with one move. If I get you hurt, don't blame me. The medical level in your city of Kaiat should be similar to that of the Hanging Gardens, right?"
Morian's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "Don't worry! Our medical level here is still very high."
I got ready and said, "Then I'm relieved. As long as no one dies, that's fine."
"One move determines the outcome!"
Morian threw the spear towards me directly, then took out two knives from his arms, trying to take the opportunity to attack me while I was dodging.
I rushed towards him directly, tilted my head slightly, and the spear grazed my neck directly. I didn't hesitate at all and cut off his right hand with a knife.
Surprisingly, he didn't scream. Instead, he slowly put down the knife, knelt on the ground, covered his wound, and said, "I underestimated your awareness. I just thought I didn't pose any threat to Miss Jamila. Why did you do this?"
I was feeling quite relieved that I had eliminated a threat to Jamila, but when I heard him say that, I suddenly looked back in confusion: "Huh?"
Jamila explained awkwardly, "I just wanted to see who was stronger between the two of you, but I didn't expect to actually chop you down. Morian had already told me he wasn't planning anything. The mastermind behind this was actually his father, Kana."
I put the knife down tremblingly. "Ah? No, are you kidding me? Jamila! Did I hit the wrong person?"
Morian said with sweat on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm relieved that Jamila has a lover like you. If there's nothing wrong, I'll go to the medical room for treatment first. It really hurts!"
After saying that, Morian walked out, his body slightly shaky. I swallowed my saliva and stared at Morian blankly. I felt like I was the bad guy, but then I noticed the red rope on Morian's left hand and wondered if Mr. Morian already had someone he needed to protect? Was that why he understood me?
Jamila suddenly hugged me and said, "As expected, my prince is the strongest. He can even cut off the enemy's arm for me."
I immediately pushed Jamila away. "Don't try to make excuses for your mistake! What's the point of sticking to me at this time? Besides, he's not an enemy, is he?"
Jamila took my hand and walked outside: "It's getting late, come and help me choose a dress for tonight's party!"
I was being pulled by force, but I was still thinking about what just happened: "Oh hey! You guy."
It seems that there is something else to do, but it is something that must be done.
