Chapter 185
After humiliating my brother, I left the arena under the astonished gazes of the surroundings .
But although I did not mind using this opportunity to humiliate him, I have not forgotten about my true goals .
Humiliating my brother is easy, but in truth, I don't get anything from it . After all, I don't want to be the emperor .
That was the reason I did not defeat him, the reason I admitted defeat .
Someone else has that role .
As soon as I left the stage, I walked towards my team .
I ignored the looks of admirations of Andrea, Iris and Louise, and the eagerness in Rose's face, and patted Dina's shoulders .
\"Go up, sister . It's your turn . \"
\"Huh? Huh!? B-But…\" Dina was startled . She looked at me and then at the destroyed stage while wondering what I was talking about .
\"Did you forget our goal?\" I asked her with a smile .
Dina was stunned, then, she understood .
\"So, the reason you admitted defeat was…\"
I just smiled without answering .
Dina's eyes turned wet . Happy tears threatened to escape her eyes .
\"… Thank you . \" She hugged me tightly and put her head on my chest . \"Thank you, Claus, and I love you . \" Her voice was so soft that nobody else managed to hear it .
But it was enough if I could hear her .
I wrapped my arms around her waist and smiled . \"I promised it to you, don't I? I promised that I would support you . That I would make you the empress . \"
Dina nodded . She then left my arms and took a deep breath .
\"I'm going . \"
\"Good luck . \"
Dina nodded and walked determinately towards the stage .
Alan, the headmistress, and the students were still thinking about my performance when they saw Dina appear in front of Alan .
\"Alan, it's my turn . \"
Alan's body shook . He ignored Dina completely and instead, looked towards me .
\"Claus!!!\"
A cry of hatred filled the arena . Thinking about the despise I just showed him and the disdain in the students' eyes, Alan only wanted to kill me .
How could he care about fighting with Dina now? He needed to repay this humiliation .
But before he could jump towards me, he was stopped by the headmistress .
\"What do you think you are doing, Alan?\" Evelyn's cold voice froze the crown prince completely . \"Do you think I'm not here?\"
Alan shivered . He could feel Evelyn's enormous power pressuring him .
\"… I'm sorry, headmistress . \" Alan took a deep breath and recovered his calm . However, he was being consumed by rage inwardly .
Evelyn grunted . \"Claus gave up the last fight, so it was your victory . Now it's Dina's turn . Are you going to fight her, or will you give up?\"
Alan fell silent . Now that he managed to calm down, he furrowed his brows in thoughts .
Although he wanted to leave right now and escape from this embarrassment, he knew well that it would only make things worse .
If he leaves, people will think that he is afraid of me and he doesn't dare to stay . Furthermore, it means he will give up the fight with Dina and will lose the duels .
No, he had to fight . Fight and win beautifully . At least that way, he could recover a bit of face .
Plus, he needed to vent his rage towards me . And Dina, my sister, was a good substitute .
I must admit that Alan is truly a talent . To think he managed to suppress his anger so easily and think calmly about the situation .
\"I will fight . \" Alan said with gritted teeth .
\"Very well . \" Headmistress Evelyn nodded . \"Dina, are you ready?\"
