The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: SIDE STORY (ABBY): THE WINNER

"You shouldn’t be too close with those two orphans," Serafim Rose said in her usual monotonous voice.

Abby lifted her head from the book that she was reading, her expression didn’t change. "Yes, Serafim Rose."

Even though that was her answer, but she didn’t even try to cease down the frequency of her meeting with Liam and Cedric. She cherished both of them more than anything, because they were the only people, who truly cared to her.

"Is she trying to rebel?" Serafim Rose narrowed her eyes when she watched Abby walked out of the main buildings with Cedric and Liam, the two of them had been waiting for her to go somewhere. "She didn’t listen at all."

"Don’t push her too far. You are going to lose your grip on her," Elder Xarex said. Usually, he didn’t talk much.

"She is too weak for that." Serafim Rose didn’t like what he was trying to imply. "In this rate, she is going to make the two of them her personal knights."

"There is nothing wrong with that. Liam and Cedric were the best knights on their age." Elder Xarex then added. "Rei had known about it and he didn’t have any disagreement if the two orphans became Abby’s personal knights."

Rose gritted her teeth. She didn’t like whenever Rei got involved, but she didn’t have any real power to go against him.

In two weeks, the trial would be held, where all the knights would be selected. Five knights would be chosen to be Abby’s personal knights.

However, people could see that the knights were not too enthusiastic with this upcoming trial, since Abby was well known as the weakest Serafim in the history. It was not an exciting to do to protect a weak person like her and dedicating their lives for her.

Abby knew about that and she didn’t appear to care with that fact. In her heart, she already chose Liam and Cedric, the rest could be anyone, who interested enough to offer their lives for her.

She was sixteen right now and probably Elder Xarex was right when he said that Abby had slowly lost from Serafim Rose’s grip, because she did no longer care about having her as her mother.

Just like what Serafim Rose wanted, she dictated Abby to see her as her predecessor for this title and that was what Abby did right now.

"What if the elders didn’t allow us to take part in the trial?" Cedric asked, he glanced at Abby, who was laying down on the grass, staring at the blue sky. She was more relax now, she didn’t force herself to study to the point she fell sick.

But, Cedric knew, deep down, Abby was still long for Serafim Rose to treat her the way she treated her elder sister.

The contrast was very obvious. Gabriel was Rose’s daughter, while Abby was someone, who would fill her role as the Serafim one day.

"Don’t worry. You two will be my personal knights and the three of us will be together forever." Abby loved how it sounded. She didn’t know what future held, but the thought she would go through it with Cedric and Liam made her felt lighter.

"I like that sound." Liam nodded. He glanced at Abby sheepishly. "I hope we can be together until our hair turned grey and our backs are in pain."

Liam and Abby laughed, while Cedric only stared at the distance.

The day of the trial came and the rule was pretty simple. They looked for the best knights among them all, where all of the knights, who already came to age had to participate.

They didn’t really anticipate this day and every fight, the knights weren’t very excited.

Probably, only Cedric and Liam, who took this trial seriously, which made them met in the final. They had predicted this to happen.

Abby was happy to see the two of them became the finalist, but she was worried to see them fight against each other. She didn’t want any of them to be hurt.

"Sit down properly," Serafim Rose said, as she pulled Abby’s sleeve, so she could stop craning her neck to get a better look of the fight below the platform. "You will know, who will win this battle. There is no need to be so work up. You got them as your knights no matter who won this."

Abby was upset, but she didn’t let her to see that, because Serafim Rose tended to make a big of deal out of it, especially when she was against Liam and Cedric to be her knights to begin with.

The fight went for more than half an hour, because Cedric and Liam really went all. This was the longest fight for today.

But in the end, Cedric won the fight because Liam broke his swords.

"Good fight," Liam said with a chuckle, though his body littered with wounds, so did Cedric.

Cedric smiled and stretched out his hand to help his friend stood up after he was announced as the winner.

Aside from Cedric and Liam, there were another three knights, who would be Abby’s personal knights.
