Chapter 16 Worthy of you (1/2)

Leon's eyes were closed but he was able to disarm James. He lunged right at James and placed his sword right on his throat.

”You loose young lord James.” Leon said lazily.

”B-but h-how..?” James was in disbelief.

”Sir Leon was the winner of this duel.” I hear Bradford say. ”As the winner, Sir Leon. You can state your demand to the loser.”

Leon can barely open his eyes but he looked at James lazily.

”Kneel down before my princess Alicia and ask for her forgiveness.” Leon said coldly.

”You want me to kneel down in front of that bastard?” James was sheathing his anger.

After hearing James' words rage passed thru Leon's eyes. The blade of the sword on James' throat bit on his flesh and it started to drip blood.

”Would you rather let me shame you in all of Alvannia?” Leon said.

As a loser of a duel, he must meet the demands of the winner what ever happens. If he wasn't able to do it then he will be brought shame. James was an heir of the Carlson dukedom. Not following the demands of the winner as a loser will be more than shameful rather than losing the duel itself.

As for kneeling down to a princess of the kingdom, it was more acceptable rather than bringing shame to his family name.

James clenched his fist hard. His anger was evident on his face.

”Alright!” James yelled.

Leon withdrew his sword from James' throat. I see him walk towards me and stopped right in front of me and kneeled.

”Third princess Alicia Roselyn Von Heist. I, James Franklin Carlson, would like to ask you for your forgiveness.” James said.

I was shocked. This was the first time someone asked forgiveness from me.
