Chapter 16

“By the Light! You won! Leo! This is amazing! You were amazing!” Chrysa didn’t seem to mind that my armor was covered with Tia’tor’s blood. The beautiful young woman threw herself against my chest, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pushed her full lips against mine.

“Yay! I keep telling everyone Leo is wonderful!” I thought I heard Allurie say. My brain and chest were still fighting against the mana fatigue, and it had been somewhat difficult to walk out of the arena and into the wide hallway where I met my waiting friends. The space was packed full of guards, servants, and the families of the girls competing for the position of Sanduport’s ruler.

Chrysa’s kiss was rather pleasant though, and my mouth unconsciously parted so that our tongues could flick against each other. I felt her moan a bit into my mouth before she released my neck. My eyes met her large brown ones, and her face turned bright red.

“I am, uhh. My apologies, Sir Lennox. I was carried away by the moment.”

“That’s okay. You are going to need a new dress though,” I said as I nodded at the front of her teal satin gown. It was now covered in a mix of mine and Tia’tor’s blood, and if it smelled half as bad as I did, the thing needed to be burned instead of cleaned.

“That’s okay. I can buy a new--”

“Sir Leo Lennox!” I heard Sharles call from behind my friends. The fat herald was running down the hallway with a group of yellow-robed men and women. “I have brought the healers!”

“I thought they were supposed to be next to the arena so that they could keep the challengers from getting killed?” I asked as the group circled around me.

“Yes, in the hallways here,” the man said.

Then my body glowed a vermillion color, and I suddenly felt like a million bucks. My shield arm was no longer sore, my back didn’t ache, my head wasn’t spinning, my legs didn’t feel as if they were made of jello, and my skin didn’t feel as if I’d been cut open with a thousand razor blades. My chest was still tight from the mana fatigue, but it only felt like Jax or Garf had me in “side mount”, instead of an elephant standing on my chest.

“Cesnie needs help, as do the others. Go to them!” I shouted at the healers, and the group ran past me.

“Someone tried to kill Cesnie and me,” I growled at Sharles as I handed him my fake amulet. “Tell your sages to look at it. Lady Kayleic had the same one. You’ve got a traitor in your staff.”

“I will investigate. Sir Leo--”

“I don’t want to talk anymore. I want to go back to my room.”

“I can understand. I will have the guards--”

“Sharles! What is the meaning of this?” a woman’s voice called out across the crowded corridor. I turned to see Queen Yrisi walking from the arena toward us. Cesnie walked with her and was followed by two healers.
