~{LAUREN'S POV}~
*
Without saying another word to Peculiar, I turned with the aim of returning back to Deborah only to hear Peculiar call after me,
"My lord!"
I reluctantly stopped and turned to look at her just to find her giving me a firm look, although she hadn't moved from where I left her.
"Since she is healed, does this mean the duel will happen?"
At her question, I stilled as it finally dawned on me that there was something like that happening.
Funny enough, I hadn't called it off even while we were both in pain.
So it is officially still in place and will happen.
"Yes," I gave a simple and obvious answer before turning to walk back to my room.
But on the way, I yelled out, "I will meet with you in the royal garden at eventide."
Without waiting for her response, I added more pace as I rushed back to my chamber and on getting there, I had the guards unlock the doors before I prepared to go in.
