Chapter 80 - My best friend. My beta.

Emily

I could see Noah was looking for me, but I didn’t want to be a typical fan and wave at him. I just smiled and found my spot in the lineup. I had to focus on whether I was going to prove myself. I couldn’t think about Noah at the moment.

His parents started the ceremony and as soon as all the royal protocols were taken care of, Noah fought his father and won. Everyone knew he would win, of course. He was declared king, but his official coronation would only be in a couple of weeks.

However, once he was named king after the tournament, he could announce the winners of each division, which meant, if I won, he would be the one giving me my new rank. I felt nervous when my division started.

I was going to fight way above my rank. I was trying out for beta. Nobody thought I would be able to do it, and I knew I was taking a huge risk, but since we weren’t fighting to the death, I couldn’t see why not. I didn’t see the use in trying out for a lower rank when I wanted to be Noah’s beta.
