POV: Violet
“What is happening …?”
As soon as the fight began, she cast a spell and they both were surrounded by a (sparkling and beautiful) black pillar of water.
The spectators were also in an uproar at this sudden turn of events. There was a strange sound of gunfire coming from the inside, so it seems like they are fighting, but even the referee has no idea what is going on inside. However, if this is also a strategy and this magic is used with the purpose of limiting the opponent’s range of actions, it cannot be easily negated nor can anybody intervene. In the current situation, we can’t do anything but watch.
“Hey, flames started to sparkle!”
“What amazing magic. It’s beautiful…!”
The only consolation was that the black water pillar magic that was surrounding them, and the flames and star-like lights moved beautifully, enthralling the audience.
“I wonder if Lord Clo is alright…”
Gray was looking at the situation in the arena with a worried expression. After celebrating Apricot’s victory earlier, he had a complicated look on his face when she came out as Lord Clo’s opponent, but now he’s just worried about the situation inside.
“Calm down, Gray. I’m also worried but he has the self-defence talisman. Once it’s used up to a certain level the match will be forced to end, so he will not get seriously injured.”
“Milady, why not say lines like that after your hands stop shaking?”
“… That’s an illusion, Amber.”
If I’m asked whether I’m worried or not, I would have to say that I’m also worried, but as long as Gray continues to worry, I can’t continue to be agitated.
My hands are shaking? That’s just her imagination. Amber must be tired too.
But in fact, I can’t continue to be shaken. I can’t see it, but I’m sure a fierce battle is raging inside. During my duel— no, I better not try to remember it. It will most likely bring forth nothing but bad memories.
Anyway, Lord Clo must be doing his best inside. It would be rude to not cheer for him.
“No, what worries me is the fact that Lord Clo is with Lady Mary in a space where nobody else can disturb them.”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
“As long as even the referee doesn’t know what the situation inside is, we won’t know what’s happening, right?”
“That’s true.”
“In other words, can’t Lady Mary do whatever she wants to Lord Clo?”
“…. Huh?”
Gray’s words froze my thoughts for a second.
Do whatever she wants…Do. Whatever. She. Wants.
In a place without anybody else, where not even the referee can make any judgements, she and Lord Clo are together.
… Could this situation be very bad?
“Haha, whatever she wants, you say. You’re overthinking things, Gray.”
“However, Lord Burnt, hasn’t Lady Mary charmed many people? Like in the play day before yesterday. And I’ve heard that every performing leading male actor is in love with her.”
“… Yeah, you’re right. I’ve heard people discuss who would end up winning her heart.”
“A person with that kind of charm is with Lord Clo in a place where other people can’t see… in other words, she could try to brainwash him, can’t she?”
“I understand what you’re trying to say, but whether she can use brainwashing or not… looking at how excited the audience is, I can understand your reasoning though.”
Win one’s heart (Brainwashing) …?!
Calm down, Violet. This is just Gray’s speculation.
It’s just the wild imagination of Gray, who’s a bit naïve about the world, so I shouldn’t let my mind wander.
— To confuse one’s… mind.
However, if you asked me whether she’s attractive or not, I would have to concede. It’s not often that you see somebody more attractive than her.
She has charmed all men who’ve duelled me, including His Highness and Ash, who’s here right now. I thought about this the day before yesterday too, but there’s a high chance that she would charm Lord Clo and confuse his mind.
Now, let’s take another look at the current situation.
Lord Clo and Mary are together in a not so large space where nobody knows what’s going on inside. Alright.
“Okay, let’s barge in.”
“Milady?!”
I can’t just stay like this.
I have to destroy the magic barrier that’s separating the spectator stands from the arena and rush over right away.
No, if I have enough time to destroy it, it might be quicker to go along the path the participants are taking and go inside.
“Violet, I will attack the barrier with Carbuncle. If we attack with our strongest magic, we should be able to temporarily break the barrier.”
As I was worrying, Ash offered his help.
Judging from the wind-like aura emanating from his body, he seemed to be trying to borrow power from Carbuncle.
“What are you saying right now, Ash?”
“Miss Cyan, there are times when a man has to do something.”
“All I know is that now is not that time.”
“There’s no way he wouldn’t do anything when he’s with Mary in an invisible space!”
“Yeah, it’s a duel, after all. It’s true that there’s no way he wouldn’t do anything.”
It seems that Ash has his own thoughts about it, but if he’s willing to help, then I’ll accept his offer.
Alright, let’s get ready right—hm?
“The black water pillar… is disappearing?”
What we saw was a pillar of water gradually losing its force, and a spell similar to the one Apricot used gradually disappearing.
I wonder if something happened inside. Is the match over— huh?
“Lord Clo?!”
When water subsided, what we saw was Lord Clo on the ground.
The situation was completely incomprehensible. Could it be that he received damage that exceeded the self-defence talisman? I can’t stay like this. I have to run up to Lord Clo and immediately take him to the infirmary-
“Lady Mary is carrying Lord Clo in her arms—oh, she’s carrying him in a princess carry.”
…. what did, they just say?
Looking over, Mary seemed the most panicked out of all times I had seen her. She was carrying Lord Clo in a princess carry, being careful not to shake his head, and was heading straight towards the exit for the participants while ignoring the staff member’s words.
… I see
“So be it, Mary Sue. I shall take this as your declaration of war towards me.”
“Milady?! Please keep yourself together! She’s only carrying Lord Clo who is tired after the match!”
I get it. She was most likely worried about Lord Clo, who had collapsed, and is quickly carrying him away. She’s a kind person, after all. That kindness is on full display at the moment.
But that aside, I’m jealous that she’s carrying Lord Clo in a princess carry. I want to try it too.
“Ah, Milady’s voice is just like how it used to be! As expected, this version is good too!”
“My dear brother, be quiet!”
“Got it. I’ll be quiet and enjoy it!
“Just shut up already!”
Ignoring the somewhat noisy siblings, I ran towards the infirmary where she must have gone to.
… Princess carry aside, I hope Lord Clo is alright
“Alright, Clo Heartfield. I have never thought about killing the other person out of jealousy like this before.”
“Calm down, Ash! Don’t let out that murderous aura!”
“How can I just stay quiet when I see him being princess carried by Mary, something that nobody has ever experienced before?!”
“Ash, you’re envious of the princess carry even though you’re a boy? Aren’t you just envious because if they run in that position Mary’s chest will hit Clo?”
“… Miss Cyan, I’m going!”
“Hey, wait a moment!”
