“Let the tournament begin,” the king said.
Two young warriors got into the field. Each had iron clothes on and helmets on their heads. They had swords, maces, and armor to shield themselves.
Everyone held their breath when one of the warrior’s armor fell down.
His counterpart kept on beating him, and it would only be a matter of time before the game ended.

After all, there was no way he could comment about it and could only be kept quiet.“What option did you give him? Would you have changed to loving men if you were in his shoes?” Priscilla asked while looking at them curiously. There was a mysterious hint of tone in her voice.“I will not discuss this further,” Theban said, and Priscilla kept on screaming at him, but he was numb.“Why did I leave him alone when he needed me the most?” she asked herself.
