appoint.

If you are afraid of being defeated by the opponent, you can ignore the glove, but you will be ridiculed if you do so, so although Kimi has seen clearly that her skills are comparable to hers, and she is not very sure of defeating her, she must pick up the glove, He is the Crown Prince of Lapland and cannot lose face in front of his people.

The woman seemed to have expected that he would not refuse her, "The duel is scheduled for the same time tomorrow afternoon, I hope His Highness will not miss the appointment."

"What I promised, even if the sky falls, I won't go back on it." Kimi looked at her coldly, "But I want to know who is fighting with me."

"My name is Blake." The woman smiled charmingly.

After knowing the opponent's name, Kimi led his knights to leave, no matter what he must win tomorrow's duel, he wants to restore the reputation of his knights.

Hakkinen also agrees with Kimi's approach. Although he doesn't know the origin of the other party, it is really a shame to be defeated by all the knights in the country. He also hopes that Kimi can defeat that woman, otherwise this matter will spread to Lapland. The royal family will inevitably be ridiculed.

"I heard that she defeated all the knights in Lapland." Sebastian helped Kimi organize the armor he was going to wear in the duel tomorrow.

"So I have to beat her tomorrow." Kimi's psychological pressure was a bit high, and this was his first time fighting a woman, and the opponent was a powerful woman.

Seeing him like this, Sebastian was a little worried, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself, it will be difficult to bring out your strength."

Kimi smiled wryly, "Stress doesn't disappear just by talking about it."

"Take a bath and go to bed early tonight." Sebastian found some lavender for him to take a bath in. Now that he has a good rest, he will have enough energy to fight tomorrow.

"You stay with me." Kimi took his hand, and she always slept well with him by her side.

Sebastian didn't refuse him, although staying in the palace would increase the chances of their relationship being suspected, but at this moment Kimi's peace of mind is the most important thing.

In the afternoon of the second day, the duel field in the square was already crowded with people who came to watch the match. Because it was a match for the crown prince and it was about the face of the royal family, the king would also come to the scene to supervise the battle in person.

The duel begins with the king's sentence: The knights participating in the duel must swear to abide by the knight's treaty.

At the beginning of the game, Blake's attacks on Kimi were very tricky and sharp. Fortunately, Kimi's swordsmanship was proficient and he solved them one by one. After figuring out the opponent's sword skills, Kimi also started to counterattack. Quick and steady, he cut Blake with a sword and couldn't dodge it, leaving a wound on his wrist, and the weapon fell to the ground.

Kimi did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, but stopped to signal the other party to pick up her weapon. The audience applauded the behavior of the crown prince and gentleman. After all, the other party was a woman. Even if she defeated the entire knight order, her gender could not be changed, while men often There is an inherent weakness in underestimating women.

After Blake was injured, his skills were not affected by this, but his attacks became more violent. Kimi was a little annoyed that the opponent was so aggressive in return for his courtesy. speed and power.

When attacking others, he often reveals his own flaws. After deftly dodging Kimi's sword, Blake knocked him to the ground with a sword when he closed the move, and the sword in his hand was firmly pressed against his chest. As long as he The slightest resistance to her sword tip would pierce his heart.

All the people present held their breaths, Sebastian and the king's hearts were hanging in the air. They were a voluntary fair duel, and no one could help Kimi at all, just when Sebastian did not hesitate to reveal that he wanted to use magic to stop Blake. , but she stopped.

"Give me a promise, and I'll spare your life." She took off her helmet to reveal her long golden curly hair, and looked down at him.

"What do you want?" It was the first time for Kimi to be pointed at by a woman with a sword like this when she was so old. She felt a little unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

"Come to me in three days and accept the challenge I've given you."

Kimi didn't know why she did it, "What challenge?"

"It's up to me," Blake said. "Can you promise me that you'll accept it anyway?"

In this case, Kimi has no right to refuse at all, but at least he can be sure that this woman will not want his life, because if so, she would have succeeded, and if he wants to know her purpose, he must agree to her, so He replied, "I assure you."

With this promise, Blake put away his sword, pulled him up from the ground, and left the stunned audience as he walked away.

In the evening, Kimi saw Blake who was leading the horse and was about to leave outside the hotel. Hearing that she distributed all the gold coins she won to the poor in the lower city, Kimi had to look at her with admiration.

"Congratulations on your big victory." Kimi was still a little awkward seeing her, after all men can't stand being defeated by a woman, "You are a great swordsman... a female swordsman."

Blake walked up to him, stroking his horse's nose and murmuring, "Your horse is beautiful."

"Her name is Liz, and she is the best horse in Lapland." Speaking of his horse, Kimi had a proud look on his face.

"I look forward to seeing you again in three days." Blake looked at the horse and then at him.

After talking for a long time, Kimi still didn't know where to meet her, "How can I find you?"

"You'll know when the time comes," Blake said mysteriously.

Kimi was still confused, "If I don't show up, it's probably because I got lost."

"You'll see where you have to go." Blake rolled onto her horse. "I want to thank you for letting me get my sword back."

"I wish I hadn't done that now." The reason why Kimi is not reconciled is not that he can't beat this woman, but that he has a chance to beat her but missed it because of his ego. If the opponent is replaced by a man, he will definitely not will do so.

Blake laughed. "You're a man of good morals, you got that from your mother."

"Do you know my mother?" Kimi looked at her in astonishment, his mother died when she was three, and this woman didn't look much older than him.

"I know her very well."

After Blake finished speaking, he rode away, and it was too late for Kimi to ask her some more questions. It seemed that all questions would not be resolved until they met again three days later.

When he reported the matter to the king, he was strongly opposed. Hakkinen has considerable doubts about the woman saying that she knows the queen, and suspects that she is a witch. Coming to Lapland to find someone to fight is an attempt on his son. Obviously this is a trap. He will not agree to let Kimi Step into that woman's trap.

"But I made an oath to her, I can't be a villain just because of your doubts." Kimi's reaction was also quite intense. His mother was his weakness, and he longed for maternal love since he was a child.

"I don't care what you said to her, you can't go anywhere except Lapland." Hakkinen's attitude was also quite tough, "Guard, send the crown prince back to his room, he can't leave half a step without my permission."

"You're going to put me under house arrest?" Kimi was quite shocked by the king's actions. He just went to see a woman. Why did he have such a big reaction.

Whether or not the woman really knew the queen, Hakkinen couldn't let his son see her, "I'm preventing you from doing something stupid."

When Sebastian came to Kimi's room with dinner, he saw two guards standing at the door, a little puzzled, "Why are there two guarding the door?" He asked the crown prince who was sitting in a daze by the window sill.

"Father won't let me leave the room for half a step, and won't let me accept Blake's challenge." Kimi was so angry that he stuck the dagger on the cushion.

"He might be right, no one knows what she wants you to do." Sebastian also couldn't understand that woman, but he always felt that there was a mysterious aura about her.

Kimi made up her mind, "I swore to her."

Sebastian tilted his head and looked at him, "I assume you're going to make the appointment no matter what?"

Kimi narrowed her eyes and smiled, "You know me best, go and prepare some dry food for me, and I'll set off tonight."

"I'll go with you." Sebastian was worried that he would face that mysterious woman alone, since he couldn't stop him, it's good to be by his side.

In the dead of night, Kimi and his servants escaped from the palace through the dog hole he went through last time and came to Swan Castle. Since the accident of General Prost and his daughter, this place has been sealed. Sebastian easily opened it with magic and iron. Chained doors, they went out of the city through the secret passage of Schwanstein Castle.

After leaving the city, they rode their horses to a fork in the road, "Which way? You know which way to go." S
