Chapter 107 – I’ll Become the Prince’s Woman (1/2)

A couple of days later

The first round of the knockout competition was already over, there were only four contestants left from the original eight. They were: Caesar, Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing from the magic department, and a newcomer from the warrior department.

These four were undoubtedly the strongest new students at Loran Academy. They were about to undergo the semifinals and finals in a couple of days, determining the victor and the top two to represent Loran Academy in the Academy Tournament that was a month away.

The magic department’s trump card, Caesar, surmounted all difficulties, and advanced to the top four without any suspense. If he continued like this he would undoubtedly win, it was just a matter of time.

Thus, the most important question became, who would be runner-up?

If only she was stronger, how nice would it have been for her to get second place, Rosie thought like that emotionally while walking.

Although she knew that her strength was only high medium, and was still far from Caesar, she still took the risk of getting injured and participated in the competition.

Against strong warriors, as a girl, Rosie didn’t have a high chance of winning, but if the opponent was also a magician, with her rather fine magic control skills, the odds were in her favor.

The good news was that Rosie didn’t meet a single warrior in the group stages, her opponents were all magicians that were weaker than her, so she successfully qualified and advanced to the knockout round.

At that time, Rosie saw hope.

She originally thought that she would have the chance to fight for the second place, and then become inseparable from Caesar, traveling to a different country to participate in the Academy tournament, a dream-like journey of love.

But her dream was mercilessly shattered by someone.

The demon that shattered her dreams was no one but her sworn enemy, the woman that she wanted to win against, Great Qin Empire’s princess, Shen DaiYing!

Actually, when Rosie found out that her opponent was Shen DaiYing, she wasn’t scared at all, rather she was very happy!

She finally had the chance! She had always wanted to teach Shen DaiYing a lesson, using various magic to beat her down making her beg for mercy and let everyone see how lowly this vixen was. Unfortunately, dreams and reality were never the same, during the competition, she was instakilled by Shen DaiYing.

Yes, instakilled.

The process was very simple.

According to the rules, the two must maintain a set distance before the competition began, and stand facing one another at the center of the stage. That day, Shen DaiYing was still like usual, wearing her high heels and black silk stockings, her slender legs seductive as usual. Two swords hanging by her waist, carrying herself tall, with an extraordinary presence.

That day’s judge was teacher Woos, on his mark, the duel officially started.

“Shen DaiYing, watch carefully, I’ll definitely win!”

Rosie planned to conduct her chant and circuit as fast as possible, but before she could even finish, she heard her.

“Cherry dance, blossom!”

That coquettish and dirty voice belonged to Shen DaiYing without a doubt. Rosie did not have a chance to react as she was still pondering about what those words meant. Soon after, she was surrounded by beautiful petals, it was like a blossoming sakura tree.

Teacher Woos’ voice quickly followed.

“Shen DaiYing, victorious!”

“What?” Rosie thought she had misheard.

Not only Rosie, the surrounding students were all dumbstruck.

“Hey, what just happened? I just yawned, is the match already over?”

“I don’t know… I think I just saw pink cherry blossoms earlier, how beautiful.”

“Cherry blossoms? Are you dumb, what does that have to do with Miss Rosie losing? This isn’t a flower watching competition!”

Hearing that chatter, Rosie couldn’t help but protest.

“Hey, wait a moment! Teacher Woos, the match just started, why did you announce her win?”

“…”

Woos stopped and took a look at Rosie, sighed, and speechlessly walked off stage to take care of other things.

“Teacher Woos! Really… Shen DaiYing! You say something! Why did you win… eh?” Rosie had just wanted to look for Shen DaiYing to complain, but she realized that she was gone.

Shen DaiYing who should have been standing in front of her, had also left and was behind Woos, the two left together.

What’s with that? They didn’t even start fighting, yet Shen DaiYing won, why? Was it just because she was a princess?

Rosie felt like she was cheated.

She was the young lady of the Childe House, when has she ever been treated this way? She had to get a reason!

“You two bastards! The match isn’t over, come back! I…” Rosie yelled loudly, but there was suddenly acute pain coming from her neck.

She reached up and felt her neck, then lowered her head and looked at her palms, then stopped shouting.

“Red liquid… this is blood, right? …Whose blood… this isn’t my blood, right!? Ehhh?”
