---- Another of my goals was to gain ess to Lucrecias ve.
I felt like I was getting further from my objective, but it was obvious she wouldnt parade him around at a public party.
"Electra De Croix!" suddenly, amidst themotion of women rushing to participate in the so-calledpetition, my name was loudly called out.
The entire hall turned to look at me.
Damn it.
I muttered under my breath, but I had no choiceI had to step forward.
The crowd parted, making way for me to reach Lucrecias smug face.
She had called me.
For what purpose have I been summoned? I asked coldly, knowing full well she was up to something.
What do you mean, for what? You signed up for the battlepetition.
Youre single, arent you? Or are you backing out before it even starts? Oh, wait, is it because your opponent is Petra? Mockingughter echoed around me.
Most of them were witches.
Thadnt signed up for anything.
This was all to humiliate Electra.
"Hello, Electra.
Long time no see." ---- Petra, a blonde witch from the Sole family, stepped in front of me, eyeing me up and down with obvious sarcasm.
I searched my memories of her and didnt like what I found.
She had once fought Electra when they were youngerand had beaten the hell out of this fool from De Croix.
Of course, Im participating.
See you soon, Petra." I snatched the paper with her name from Lucrecias hand Backing out wasnt an optionthat was exactly what they wanted, to humiliate Electra.
I couldnt show weakness.
Lucrecias malicious eyes told me she had rigged this match-up.
she had a hidden agenda.
Well, so be it.
I would fight using part of Electras powerbecause mine couldnt be exposed.
But Petra looked far too confident.
She had no idea.
The one controlling this body now wasnt just some witch who knew a few magic tricks like them.
Thad been trained by the lycansby the most powerful of them all.
My father.
see ---- "..Put her out!" they shouted, as a burningpetitor was doused in a snow spell on the so-called battlefield.
