Katsu is suprise how is she here but seeing her occasionally looking at a viceroy in the noble seat leisurely drinking wine watching her with a nasty grin Katsu realizes and commands Black magic girl to tell Natala Chelsea situation and go easy on her. Hearing his teacher he sigh before slowly walking to her. Despite trying his best not to look intimidated, she is still scared and not moving, her knife has long been dropped to the ground, she wanted to surrender but something or someone is making her not to. He lows his voice enough for only her to hear "If you want to escape your fate then come with us when the time is right" and with his message convert he uses naginata hard spot to knock her out.
The crowd is clearly disappointed how the battle is too easy even the viceroy frown mumbles something about how unlucky he is not to meet a cruel killer to watch her being torture.
Next is Cornelia vs a young girl with long dark grey hair and lime eyes holding a katana which Katsu identifies as Taeko but if she is here then that woman is here too. Katsu scans the audience immediately spots the woman who is in her mid forty that is wearing purple clothes and a purple hat blending in the crow if it is not because of Taeko's appearance he would not have known she is here. Taeko has been trained into an assassination when she is an infant by a group of hire assassination Oarburgh, there is no way they will let her go to this place by herself if there isn't any protection and this place is the best place to find good seeds to train new members for their clan so they may already have their eyes on his children.
If there are eyeing his children then they should be ready for their children to be taken.

"I may have to create chaos if I want to bring them safely back home" He sighs before looking at Cornelia battle vs Taeko
Taeko now is having the upper hand since all her techniques are the nemesis of Cornelia making her completely passive since she can't counterattack, Taeko ability to completely block Cornelia ability to fight back making her have a hard time but she didn't give up as she has another trick that Katsu taught her.
The sudden change in Cornelia's fighting style completely caught her off guard from the usual parry attack she has seen as her attack speed suddenly increase but her attack didn't do any damage as it lacks power. Taeko is sure that Cornelia did something to her body despite not feeling any pain from her attacks every time she attacks her body becoming even stiffer almost as if she is slowly paralyzing realizing the horror of her opponent she try to end her battle fast by utilizing all her trump card.
Their battle becomes more intense as Taeko move almost instantly to Cornelia location without leaving a trace and each of her slash carrying gust of air that sometimes almost slices Cornelia in half if not because of her fighting style change to cope with her. Cornelia has her difficulty as not only she has to defend herself she also needs to have a lot of focus to completely control her strength so she can use Katsu pressure points this wear down her mentality and stamina very fast but thanks to it Taeko is slowly weakened by her hand. In the end with many cut marks on Cornelia's body, she has succeeded in paralyzing Taeko but she also fainted because of bleeding too much and consuming too much mental strength.
The result ended with a tie shocking the audience as a tie rarely happens in a fight and the only one bet in it is Katsu himself.
With a pile of gold coins like this, he may be blocked by the staff when he gets out but at the moment they don't have any action as he didn't leave and they doubt he can even bring all of that money out but they will regret their decision soon.
