In the west wing of the imperial palace...
CLASH!
Cedrick rolled to the ground but stopped with his one knee and palm on it. His eyes glinted at the beast in a half-human and half-wolf form. Unlike the male wolves who reached this stage, this wolf had longer furs. She was even faster than anyone he had encountered and just as strong as the male alphas.
"Tomas... you're such a disappointment," Elizabeth laughed without averting her eyes from Cedrick, her prey. "You got killed by this weakling?"
"Hah... I don't appreciate the insult, but it's not his highness's fault. You're just strong."
"Quite generous with words to your enemy, I see."
"I simply knew how to respect my enemy's strength," Cedrick smirked, fluttering his gigantic wings that were akin to bat wings. He stretched each of his fingers, producing a cracking sound. "As a token of respect, I shall fight you without holding back at well."
