DESTINY GIRL

Mariana And Rey

The waiter prepares the bow and the target board. Mariana was already about to get ready when an old man held her down.

" Wait...... what is the penalty for the loser ? "

" I want her to crawl from here until the palace" said Mariana staring cynically at Rey.

The old man looked at Rey "Miss, what punishment would you give ? "

" It's the same "Rey replied casually. There were a lot of whispers and comments.

" Both. All of us as a witness "cried the old man.

" First match; ARCHERY "

Mariana stood up taking her place. Target board 30 steps away. He squinted his eyes while pulling his arrow. One, two, three.....

" Zuutt's...... Jimbb.... ! "

People applauded while commenting.

" Great..... ! "

" That's why he's arrogant.... "

Mariana gives her bow to the servant, and the servant gives it to Rey along with a new arrow. Rey stepped slowly as if in doubt. He stood in the archery. He looked at the target board and began to raise his bow and arrow. His brows furrowed for a few counts before he let go of his arrow.

" Zuutt's...... Sretta jleb.... !! "

" God..... ! " People are dumbfounded. They hurriedly approached to be sure. Rey's arrow splits Mariana's arrow and stabs it in the same spot.

" Wooaaahs......... "

" He's better than Miss Mariana "

Mariana doesn't like to hear people praise Rey.

" I think it was just a coincidence." he poked his lips. But people don't care and remain amazed.

" First match, result ; SAME ! " the old man shouted to make everyone sound.

Second match ; FIGHT ! "

Soon her servant gives a short sword to Mariana and Rey's hand.

" This time, I'll give you an autograph (make hurt) "Mariana sizzled softly.

Rey looked at the sword in her hand. He smiled disappointed to know the quality was not as good as Mariana's. It is clear they are cheating. Rey raised both eyebrows. Doesn't matter..... If they cheat by giving a bad sword, then he will cheat by coating magic.

The old man drew an outline of the large circle for a place to fight. People immediately backed down to make room. The rule is, if one falls or goes out of line, it is declared a loss. Rey and Mariana immediately entered into a circle while holding a sword.

" So..... ? start.... ! "

Mariana forward raised her sword, she intended to slash Rey on the shoulder.

" Traaang...... ! "

Rey fended off while pushing back. Then her leg kicked Mariana's stomach.

" Young, Aaah....... ! Bru.ukk....... ! " Mariana fell, but did not get out of line. Rey gave him time to get up.

Mariana was embarrassed and angry. He quickly got up and went forward stabbing Rey in the stomach. But Rey dodged to the side and hit Mariana's wrist until her sword came off.

" Aarrgh........ ! " Mariana stroked her painful wrist. He had to bite his lips so people wouldn't know.

Rey took three steps back before quickly shifting aside. Mariana who slashed the wind lost her balance. He staggered forward across the boundary line.

" Miss Mariana lost.... ! " shouted the old man. Immediately heard whispers and comments.

" Stupid...... "

" It's out of line..... "

" Hhhhhhhh........... ! " Mariana stomped her feet and growled in annoyance. Mariana spoke something to one of Marco's escorts.

Then the bodyguards assisted by people to install three obstacles with the distance of each obstacle is 15 steps. Actually it's too close, but Mariana deliberately so that the horse that Rey is riding in trouble. The size of the city field is 100 x 100 steps.

When he was ready, the old man shouted again.

" First match ; RIDING. Each one will ride and jump over three obstacles. Please the audience move away "

People quickly lined up along the path that the two sparring horses were about to take. Two horses were already prepared in the starting line.

Mariana immediately jumped up and took control confidently. Her luxurious dress did not hinder her agile movements. While Rey took out one carrot and gave it to the horse he was about to ride. The horse immediately liked Rey and chewed happily. Rey hugged the horse and patted him on the back, then got on. Mariana simply snorted and sneered at Rey's actions. After all, the horse Rey was riding was just a chariot-pulling horse, not a racehorse. He is sure to win the equestrian game.

" Siaaapp...... ? one... two.... three ! "

The Mariana horse is speeding up faster. At the first hurdle the horse jumps beautifully. Mariana hit the horse's back to run and jump again. But because it was too fast, the horse did not have time to jump over the third obstacle and hit it. As a result Mariana fell to the ground. The waiter immediately ran to help her.

While Rey's horse ran normally and jumped quietly. Rey held her horse back and drove again to jump over the second hurdle. As well as the final hurdle, Rey did the same. People cheering. Although Rey's ways are unusual, she doesn't break the rules.

Now those guys are siding with Rey. They lamented that Marina deliberately shortened the distance of the obstacle, making her own horse fail to jump over the third obstacle.

" Miss Mariana and her horse, LOSE ! " the old man shouted so loudly.

People murmured while staring at Mariana who had scratched wounds on her face and hands. His shoulder also hurt from being bumped during a fall.

" Will Miss Mariana give up, or continue the next match.... ? " ask the old man.

The mood became quiet. They knew Mariana would be forced to continue the match if she did not want to crawl up to the palace.

" It's best that the match continue tomorrow. Miss Mariana had just fallen, please understand "one of Marco's bodyguards said.

" Where can that be ?! if the one having bad luck is this miss, is it possible that the arrogant miss Mariana just let go of it ? After all the last game was just flute play. There is no reason to avoid. Continue match.... ! " shouted a man. (It turns out he was the father of the little boy Mariana slapped. He was just an ordinary citizen, where he dared to lead the noble princess. That's why he supports Rey )

" Yes..just continue "

" Isn't playing flute very easy ? "

" Solve it now "

People started to demand. Marco's bodyguards stared helplessly at Mariana. He's been trying to help his nona, but the people haven't let him go.

" How is Miss, will you continue the match, or postpone it ? " the old man deliberately asked Rey not to blame Marco's family.

Rey looked around as if asking people's opinions. They all mostly whisper "RUN " . Rey smilingly looks at Mariana (Mariana also smiles thinking Rey will let go of her ). Rey turned to the old man and replied confidently

" CONTINUE...... "

People cheered for a moment. Mariana was flabbergasted in disbelief. He was almost unsteady if only the servant was not holding him.

" Well. Last match ; PLAY SULING . There is no provision whatsoever, the important thing is to dazzle the ears. Victory was decided by all the spectators present "clearly the old man.

" Agreeduuu.
