In one of the bustling stadiums, a ferocious battle raged on, captivating the attention of the masses more so than any other match, primarily because the combatants weren't your average contenders.
"Redgrave Blood Art!" Cain's voice echoed through the arena as he deftly traced a circle with his sword, summoning forth a spear of crimson blood aid at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, her eyes ablaze with a fiery hue, calmly observed the approaching spear before effortlessly slicing it apart with a precise thrust of her rapier.
"Raven Art! Fire Blood Ball!" Sirius' voice cut through the tension as he materialized behind Elizabeth in a swift maneuver, channeling a formidable amount of mana to conjure a massive, swirling vortex of fiery blood, hurtling towards his opponent.
Undeterred, Elizabeth raised her rapier, conjuring an even larger, ominously glowing mana circle. "Tepes Art... Chiroptera's Breath," she murmured, her voice carrying an air of command as a majestic crimson bat-shaped breath surged forth from her weapon, colliding with Sirius' fireball and engulfing it in a spectacular explosion.
-BOOOOM!
The ensuing shockwave sent a cascade of blood and flas cascading from the heavens, leaving spectators awestruck by the display of power.
To call it impressive would be an understatent.
Beside , I sensed a palpable tension, and when I turned to look, Alicia gripped the guardrail with a frustrated expression, her gaze fixed on Elizabeth.
It was easy to forget at tis, but Alicia had been raised and educated alongside Elizabeth and Selene during their childhood, grood as Vampire Princesses through an agreent between the Raven and Tepes Houses to prioritize the education of their daughters.
"Lady Elizabeth! Please, enlighten on what's happening!" Cain's voice cut through the tension, his expression a mix of confusion and concern as he directed his plea towards Elizabeth.
I turned my gaze back to the drama.
"If that scoundrel has coerced you into this engagent in any way, please confide in ! I may be of assistance!" Cain's words tumbled out, laced with a desperate urgency.
A grimace tugged at my lips. Why did it always seem like I was cast as the antagonist in these conflicts?
"You're overthinking things, Cain," Elizabeth replied with a weary sigh. "Amael and I love each other, plain and simple."
The calm certainty in her voice sent a jolt through my heart.
"It can't be!" Cain's disbelief was visible. "I've known you, Lady Elizabeth, for as long as I can rember! You're not one to fall for soone so easily... you're not like that..."
Damn...
It was clear that Cain harbored deep feelings for Elizabeth, yet she seed to have relegated him to the friendzone. But didn't he strike as soone who would accept such a situation?
I an, in the ga, he did seem to accept Victor and Elizabeth's relationship quite readily, if I recall correctly.
