Rosella
Two days passed after the Pelitas incident, and the second phase of the competition was to be held in the royal kitchen. However, we stood outside the mansion first to hear the official announcement before proceeding.
The outside was beautifully decorated in white and red. Unlike the arena, where so many people were present, only a few people were around here.
Among them was a videographer and a woman who stood beside him. Since the event was at the royal home, I believed they had come to broadcast the show for everyone worldwide to see.
Damien was seated in a tent with his second in command, Romeo, and his third in command, whose name I didn't know. Two other tents contained elderly men addressed as lords. Alistair was also seated under one of the tents, and when our eyes met, he waved at me, and I waved back.
I could feel Damien's gaze on me the moment I moved my eyes away from Alistair. I made the mistake of looking at him, and when our eyes met, he grinned at me.
