---- His hand inches forward from behind me, to adjust my grip.

You are overextending.

His fingers closed over mine and he guides my hand down a bit.

Here.

This is where it should be or you will lose control otherwise.

Our eyes connect.

His calm ones with my raging ones.

And I bit my lip, forcing down the frustration bubbling inside me.

Damn it.

It was a grave err.

He is right.

I had let my guard down in my excitement.

Pulling back from me, he walks ahead and comes to stand in front of me His hands lock behind his back and I knew this was something important.

Thave a proposition.

He speaks, throwing something at me and I swiftly ---- eee catch it with the blade of the Katana A black blindfold was hanging from its blade.

A duet.

With blindfolds.

Tf win? You will agree to meet with that boy.

Just one meeting.

And if you win? I will never ask you to meet or get married to a man again.

[raise a brow.

Very interested in the ofter.

Seriously? If I win, no pestering...

No meetings with stupid men and the pressure to get married? I will be free.noveldrama

Done.

I speak and I watch him putting a blindfold on his own eyes.

I was anxious...

Dad is the best.

The unforgiving master who taught me everything that I know today.

Defeating him was not going to be easy.

---- But then when has freedom been achieved easily.

Icrack my neck to either side, jumping to pump some blood into my veins while he stood there motionless, like the calm before the tsunami.

Show me what you have learned, kiddo.

He speaks with a mixture of pride and amusement and I smirk to retort.

Twill show you more.

And with this, I lunge towards him with my katana slicing through the air.

---- eee = Chapter 243 The second rule to fight is to never hesitate.

And I didn't.

Especially because it was father.

He would catch my slightest of mistakes and take it in his stride.

In a blur of motion, when my blade was inches away from touching him, he sidestepped.

Making his own sword to clash with mine.

A metallic clang reverberates.

Aghj fuck! I curse in my mind while he chided, his voice calm like the ocean Too eager.

Careful daughter.

You will loose your neck in barely a second if you rush in like that.
