Wow I have a fiancé did not see that coming when I came up here this weekend. I might be the first one of my generation to actually get married. Me married. As everyone is about to celebrate fucking Cliff had to ruin the mood.

  Cliff: Bloodheaven are you in the blood clan

  Luka: Yeah

  Cliff: Are you perhaps some how related to Celine Alvarora

  Luka: Yes she is my great great grandmother

  Cliff: is that so than...I CHALLANGE YOU TO A DUEL!

  Everyone: WHAT!

  Jayden: Cliff what has gotten into you.

  Cliff: This is personal. His ancestor ate my grandfather wedding present a rare phoenix. than when we tried to arrest her she killed every body they sent after her. Including one of my ancestors on my fathers side. Fight me Bloodheaven for your grandmothers transgression.

  Jarrin: I forgot Celine ate that stupid bird. Celine was right elves do hold grudges.

  Luka: No.

  Cliff: Are you scared Vampire.

  Luka: No it is just a pain in the ass. Why does everyone want to duel me. Do I have something on my face that says "duel Luka win a prize".

  Jarrin: You do get asked to duel a lot and I don't know why. You tall muscular and the scar on your eyebrow kind of makes you look like a badass.

  Diana: He does have the face of a warrior.

  Jarrin: Yeah back in school my underground fan club kept on challenging him. "Saying if I win than you would no longer go out with Jarrin". It got so bad he just rounded them all up and fought them all at the same time just to get it over with.

  David: You have a fan club?

  Jarrin: Had

  Cliff It does not matter I must regain honor for my family

  Luka: I could give a rat ass about your family honor if I hit you I could go to prison.

  Jarrin: Did not care about that win you beat the shit out of that daemon in hell.

  Luka: I live here. I do not live in hell and hell was like the wild west everyone was killing some one.

  Korrina: how about this right up a contract

  Cliff: That is fair

  Luka: Sure

  They begin to right down a contract saying Luka will not get arrested for fighting the Duke.

  Cliff: If I win You have to get us a new phoenix and give a formal apology

  Luka: if I win you have to pay for our wedding and honeymoon to anywhere in the world.

  David: This guy knows how to milk it

  Korrina: He is really being thrifty this will save me lot cash I am starting to like your fiancé more and more. You got a nice catch.

  they right down agreement and they begin the duel.

  Diana: The rules are simple no magic, no special abilities just pure combat skill. you will not harm your opponent intently and stop at all fatal strikes. The first one to make there opponent unconscious or submit wins do you both understand. I will not tolerate cheaters

  Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

  Cliff: I understand

  Luka: got it.

  Aunt Lucy takes out a weapon rack with all different type of weapons guns knives swords spears you name it she had it.

  Lucy: Pick your weapon no guns that is my only rule.

  Cliff chooses a rapier that is such a rich boy weapon. Why did I feel like I knew he was going to choose that. If I know Luka and I do he would either choose a spear scythe or a halberd. He chooses a spear yep I knew ii

  Lucy: Is this your final choice

  Cliff: Yes

  Luka: Yes

  Diana: Let the contest between Clifford Lafey and Luka Bloodheaven begin.

  Cliff starts by thrusting his Rapier at Luka but Luka is deflecting every attack with his spear flawlessly. Then Luka use his spear to slash down on Cliff head but he avoids it.

  Cliff: You should give up Now at Harvard I am a Champion fencer and never lost a match.

  Luka: The weakest dog barks the loudest

  That really sets Cliff off he continues to thrust faster and faster but Luka is dodging gracefully like a dance. slowly Cliff is beginning to slow down

  Diana: It over Luka has been in complete control of this duel he does not even look tired

  Jarrin: That because he train everyday with a bunch of monsters

  Diana: Are you as strong as him

  Jarrin: I probably can beat him in close combat and strength. he probably beats me with weapons handling speed and experience. He is also a genus when it come to lighting magic.

  Diana: Interesting

  Cliff is dangerously tired now. Luka been waiting patiently for the right time to strike. he move his spear disarms his opponent knocks him down and point the edge towards Cliff throat.

  Diana: The Winner is Luka

  Cliff: I have dishonored my family

  Luka reaches his hand out and to help Cliff up.

  Cliff: Why help me

  Luka: Well is was my Great great grandmother fault, She did eat your bird and she never apologize. so I am sorry. Were going to have to get along were going to marry into the same family after all so we cool.

  Cliff: We cool

  Diana: Jarrin you met a good young man

  Jarrin: I know

  ??? Pov

  I though this assignment would be easy kidnap the Duke at his girlfriends house and ransom him back to the elves. I am going to have to distract those four women first they are all monsters. I guest I am going to have to separate them. a siege attack on the house definitely wont work with them there. I will have to get him when he is not there. I better call my man and start planning hahahhahahahahahahah
