Veronica was resting in her room when the door burst open! She was shocked after seeing it was Rawlf.
"What ha,"
"What did you settle the underground arena for?!"
Veronica turned silent. This is the first time that Rawlf showed her this kind of extreme emotion and she could understand why.
The man is not stupid and of course, he already had a hunched of it. "Calm down, let's talk. I'm going to tell you anyway."
"No Veronica! You did it without even telling me about it!" "Rawlf.. I.."
"It won't happen Veronica. I won't let you."
The man said calmly, obviously restraining himself from lashing out on her. "It will." Veronica replied stubbornly.
"Veronica."
"I am determined, Rawlf and you won't be able to stop me." "Veronica please, don't force me."
Veronica heaved a sigh. This is where her stubbornness ends. It's not because she's backing down but because Rawlf as of the moment is a volcano and she doesn't want to be the tornado and clash with him.
She stood up from the bed and pulled him forcefully to her and embraced him.
"If you think that it will work, no it won't Veronica." Rawlf sighs and also calms down. Veronica didn't respond,
"Not the time yet", she thought. Some time later, sensing that the man's stiff muscle started to loosened up, Veronica pulled him back to the bed. Him sitting at the edge of the bed, she, straddling him.
"I know you worry about me but please, trust me in this. Besides, if you think I'm losing, you could just have her shot dead."
Rawlf chuckled finally. "You're playing dirty."
"Well, who cares. She played dirty in the first place." "Hmm."
"So You agree?"
"I can shoot her if she dares hurt you." "As if I'd let her!"
Rawlf once again chuckled. "Fine."
Happy that the man is doting to her to this extent, Veronica kissed him softly. The man responded in a passionate way. The kiss deepened and slowly, Rawlf stood up carrying Veronica with him, their lips still connected before laying her on the bed.
As the intense desire consumed them both, Rawlf playfully uttered, "Let's start your training."
The next night, the death or alive arena, once again is filled with people. Actually, is packed with people because they heard that Lady Cleopatra of the underworld is fighting someone tonight!
"I've heard that the queen is fighting tonight? Who's her opponent?!" "Heard it's a daughter of a former President of Country P."
"What?! Seriously? Wow! Is she really that powerful that she could even dare to fight with a country's President's daughter?!"
"You're in this world. Why are you acting surprised?"
"For the sake of it." The other person deadpanned, making the other one roll his eyes.
Meanwhile, Pyotr whose blindfold was just removed was squinting his eyes trying to adapt from the blazing light from the center of the stage.
He frowned and looked at the man beside him.
'Rawlf'.
The man sensing his gaze uttered without looking at him,
