Chapter 31

• Sui kicked Malddir in the chest, sending him flying in the mud. He leapt into the air and brandished his weapon. Malddir was able to block it, but he was already down and heaving. Sui twisted his swordhand, and the tip of his sword buried into the militia leader’s shoulder. At the same time, Malddir also sneaked a counterattack, which wounded Sui’s right leg.
• They both groaned, and the crowd’s yapping all became into an “ooh,” seeing the result. It was a draw. The two duelists glared at each other, and Malddir snickered.
• “It seems that none of us won after all, Your Lordship.”
