With a 'Thud' sound Reeves fell down in the ground and lost his consciousness with a grimacing expression on his bloody face.
The whole crowd were dumbfounded. There was pindrop silence. The breeze was blowing with a 'shuaa' sound that could be heard due to the calm atmosphere.
But people's heart were not calm at all. They were all wondering the same thing.
'What the hell happened? How did it happen?'
The same questions were running through everyone's mind. When the shock passed,everyone came to their senses. They were looking at each others,whispering if anyone could explain what just happened.
But,the answer they got frustrated them even more. No one could explain how I defeated Reeves in a single exchange.
Not even Michael,the strongest person standing here could explain how I defeated Reeves. Michael had astonished facial expression. He was probably prepared to save me if I was beaten badly.
But now it was Reeves who needed saving. The outcome of this fight is out of everyone's expectations. Not only Arthur defeated Reeves,he did so overwhelmingly.
People will not forget about this fight and words of this fight will spread through the city very quickly. Arthur's name will soon become famous.
"Reeves has been rendered unconscious. Arthur wins the duel."
Michael declared the outcome officially. His loud voice ringed in the ear like thunderclap. People finally completely accepted the results of the fight. Even though they had their doubts,they can only leave now.
Reeves was taken away to infirmary to heal his wounds. His wounds were internal and as he was unconscious and paralyzed,nothing could be said about his condition. I am really looking forward to meeting him once he wakes up.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Michael came to me and looked me from head to toe seriously. His sharp gaze made me nervous. I was internally sweating buckets. Michael looked at me sharply for a while and opened his mouth again.
"You have changed from the last time I saw you,young master Arthur. "
Michael only said that and walked away. I was surprised by his words. Did he find something out? Should he be trusted? What if he tries to investigate him?
A lot of questions suddenly popped up in his mind which he didn't have any answers. But,he was sure that he has to become more cautious now that he demonstrated his strength to the public.
His journey to top was just beginning. He must overcome all the hurdles that may come his way.
After the fights winner was announced,Arthur came down the arena. He was greeted by a crying Lena. He rushed to her quickly and asked what happened.
"Hey,Lena. What happened? Why are you crying?"
"Waahaa..i thought something might happen to you that's why I started crying but you won instead. so I'm crying because of happiness."
I was speechless hearing Lena. What kind of logic is that!!
"Don't cry,ok. I'm fine. No need to worry anymore. ",Arthur console Lena.
"Hmmm…"
......
In the meantime, Arthur didn't know his fight with Reeves has become a hot topic for discussion in the town.
In all the tavern and inns people were discussing him animatedly. He was focus of their criticism and admiration.
Some were saying that Arthur is a hidden talent,others were saying that it was a fluke. There were also rumours about the match being staged. They believed that city Lord staged this fight to increase third young masters popularity,So he can pass down his sit to him.
All kinds of ridiculous rumours and assumptions were created because of this. But, one thing was for sure, after this fight all the people had a new view and opinion of Arthur.
The top family in the city also took notice of this and they were discussing whether they should establish a relationship with Arthur.
But,Arthur had no way of knowing that his one action created such a large wave in the city. He was currently making his way towards his courtyard. Along the way,he could see all the servants lowering their head in fear and respect. Arthur really liked this feeling.
He really felt like a noble now. Before the fight,these servant won't show him the proper respect. But now they all had an expression of fear in their faces. He really had a taste of being superior now.
When he reached his courtyard,he asked a maid to prepare a room for Lena in the same courtyard as him. While they wait for the maid to prepare Lena a room,Arthur showed Lena his room so that she can find him. Although there is many servant to take care of daily affairs,Arthur wanted Lena to find him for any problems.
After showing around his room and surroundings,they both became tired so they decided to enjoy some refreshments. While waiting for the maids and enjoying refreshments,they made some small talks. In this way,they talked till the maid knocked on their door to inform that Lena's room is ready. Arthur asked the maid to lead the way and he also followed them because he also wanted to know where she will be staying.
They reached the room shortly. It was in the same floor as him. It wasn't that far from his room. The room was plain but well decorated. It has a bed, a bookshelf and a small reading table. There is wardrobe in the side. The room wasn't that big but there was enough space excluding the furniture.
"Are you okay with the room Lena? Is it to your liking?"
"Yes,I like it very much"
Lena was visibly happy so I was relieved. I let Lena stay in her room and told her to rest. Then,I bid her farewell and returned to my room.
Today is my first day after time travel and it's almost ending. But, a lot of things happened today and I am slowly processing them.
I was thinking about why I got this power?why this power is so strange?
