The Next Prince, Chapter 42 pg5
It seemed as if they didn’t want Evaa to move on to the next round...
Khanin’s thoughts were so overwhelming that he almost didn’t hear the starting signal for the second time. Although he was ready to compete, he was caught off guard when his opponent rushed in.
At that moment, Khanin only shielded half heartedly and only followed his instincts, while the other side stopped and gave him a chance to score.
The actions of the competitors answered the assumptions in his heart. It was clear that Evaa was now just a victim of this situation, and everything went back to yesterday’s assumptions. If Chana and Evaa were not villains...
So now the bad guy is probably trying to eliminate Evaa by letting her own team member lose.
To make sure that no one wins...
Khanin’s heart was pounding, and the truth he found made him unable to wait. He quickly responded to the weakness that his opponent opened up, and quickly attacked until he was confident that he could score and then stepped back to switch places with Mira, who was waiting beside the field with a victorious face.
“Evaa’s team member are trying to lose...” Charan quickly asked when Khanin walked back, without thinking twice.
Even Charan himself could see this obvious mistake. How could Evaa not see it?
“Yes...I've tried to balance it, opened the opportunity, but still he did not try to score. What does that mean? It was the same with Jae. At first, it seemed like an attempt to surpass Jae, but when his score started to be higher than
Mr. Jae's, he backed down and let him win.”
“If so, we have to find a way to tell Young Lady Evaa...”
“Wait for me to find a way to tell her myself.” Khanin agreed with Charan while looking at the only girl in the team who was bowing to the referee, then he got ready and drew his sword as he heard the signal.
At this point, almost no one had a chance anymore when the team of Atsawathenin defeated everyone. Mira’s victory lift was almost non-existent even though she was strong because her opponent seemed to be a scarecrow.
Wherever the swords went, he just stayed there without trying to deflect, not chasing back, until almost everyone said with one voice that Evaa’s team did not come to win as the team leader had said.
Finally, Mira won with a score higher than the other team, but the young woman did not feel even a little bit happy. She walked back to the team leader with a stiff and tense face and said something that made Khanin feel unable to help.
“On that side, they chose to lose.”
Khanin was uneasy, his gaze never leaving Evaa who tried to keep her face composed despite her inner turmoil. He knew she was a fair game player and it was not surprising that she could not accept defeat. Therefore, under the neutral mask that the other side was wearing, it must be filled with unresolved emotions.
Quickly as thought. When the competition was announced that the winning team would advance to the next round, Khanin took advantage of the moment when everyone was about to walk away and ran to walk alongside Evaa as she was heading back to her seat on the moon. There was no point staying here.
“Can we talk for a bit, Evaa?”
“Yes, Khanin? What do you want to talk about?” The young lady turned back with a questioning look on her sweet face when she saw the older man reaching out to take her hand and lead her away.
“There’s something we need to discuss... It’s important to talk about it here.”
“We can’t talk about it here...?” Evaa frowned in confusion.
“Yes... about the competition.”
“...”
“The incident that happened to your team...”
…
“Atsawathewathin team has advanced to the finals, Your Highness.”
The announcement made by the small speaker made Ramil raise his eyebrows in surprise. Thawetmetha lost by that much, huh?
“How did Evaa lose? By a close margin or a landslide?” Ramil didn’t dare to ask.
“By a landslide, Your Highness.”
How did that happen...
Puchongpisut was escorted to the reception room, so he didn’t know how Nin coped outside, but the winning news from the royal family was surprising enough.
Even though he knew that Khanin was smart, from what he saw during the meeting with the team, he couldn’t see anyone who could beat Evaa.
Ramil trusted the skills and toughness of his teammates. Therefore, Atsawathewathin wouldn’t have a chance to win anymore.
“Let’s go then. Prepare yourself.” Despite having doubts, Ramil didn’t hesitate and encouraged his teammates. He got up and picked up his sword equipment to prepare.
Ramil reminded himself that ending the competition as quickly as possible was important, whether it was Thawetmetha or Atsawathewathin. This victory would have to belong to Puchongpisut.
Even though his father was still accused of being involved in harming Khanin, it was just an accusation that had not been able to catch anyone. At least now his father still had the right to be on the moon where the royal family’s blood was imprinted.
He wanted his father to see and acknowledge with his own eyes how much he had tried.
At least, even if his father could not become a Sovereign King... his father would know that this child could stand on his own feet without relying on the dirty tricks that his father used.
“Why do you look worried?” asked the close friend who noticed the amount of stress from the person next to them. It’s something that occurs at least occasionally. Petai was in his white sports uniform that was no different from his appearance. His handsome face clearly showed signs of anxiety.
“...”
