It was now the quarter finals and you stood tall among the 6 remaining fighters. You had yet another hour to rest before the next round began. You decided to visit Silvija and Widow to see how things were looking for them.
Widow: Damn kid. That had to be the fastest fight I've ever seen.
Silvija: Not much of a fight. Your strength was impressive.
You blushed at their compliments.
Y/N: Thanks. How are things on your end?
Widow: Nothing to report really. Same old stuff.
Silvija: Although, I was thinking about going to enjoy some other festivities while we're on the break.
You smiled.
Y/N: I can join you if you'd like.
Silvija smiled brightly.
Silvija: I would appreciate that.
Widow looked at the two of you before smirking to herself.
Widow: Then you'll have no use for me. I'll be waiting here until your done.
You looked at her to object but she silenced you with a quick glance. You decided it was better to keep quiet and accepted the princess's invitation.
--------
The village was a beautiful place with old buildings mixed with the new. People of all ages were walking around carefree and enjoyed the sights and sounds. Silvija greeted everyone and refused to let anyone bow to her. You couldn't help but smile at her gentle nature. One man even gave her a fresh F/C flower which she immediately stuck in your hair to match hers.
Music filled the air as you both slowly approached a stage where a band was playing. Silvija grabbed your hand and dragged you to the open area where everyone else was dancing. It took a small while, but you eventually fell into the traditional dance with Silvija leading.
You were kinda sore and tired bjt with Silvija, you pushed through it. How could you deny a princess after all? She led you through the streets and the two of you had fun with a lot of the activities and booths that you all came across.
Silvija: I haven't had fun like this in a long time. Thank you.
Y/N: No. Thank you. I'm happy to be able to do something like this.
Silvija smiled as she held your hand.
Silvija: I'm glad. I'm sure someone like you has plenty of worries. I'm happy that I can help you deal with them just a bit easily.
You smirked as you looked down at your feet. As the two of you walked, many of the people had their eyes on you. Even the younger people could see that the princess was indeed happier than they had ever seen her.
Y/N: We should start heading back. I need to prepare for the next round.
Silvija: We should. I'm excited to see how you do in this coming round.
Y/N: Actually, I have a question about that. There's 6 fighters left so that would mean that there's going to be 3 in the semi finals.
Silvija: Indeed. The four fighter will be one of our chosing. That also means this may be our last chance to find the assassin.
You sighed. You know it wasn't Dane or Shang-Chi. They were clean. Your suspension was heavy on Anton but you had no way of proving that. Maybe the assassin wasn't even a fighter and was just waiting for Silvija to present the reward.
Silvija: You seem deep in thought.
You shook your head.
Y/N: It's nothing. Out of the six, I can say with confidence that Shang-Chi and Dane Whitman are clean.
Silvija: That is a relief to hear. What about the others?
You shrugged.
Y/N: I have no clue. Most just leave after their fights and I wanted to avoid any outside conflict.
Silvija: I understand. Out of the six, three are confirmed well. Besides you three there is Anton Vanko, Cat, and Gorgon. All of you are powerful in your own right.
You had only minor interactions with Cat and Gorgon. They seemed confident but you didn't know anything about them. You realized that Silvija was now deep in thought. You stopped as she kept walking but she stopped once your hand jerked slightly. She turned to face you as you lifted her chin.
Y/N: Don't think too hard about it princess. Me and Widow have this under control.
Silvija smiled before nodding.
Silvija: Ok then. I'll trust you then.
----------
You sat in the stands with Dane and Shang-Chi as you all waited for the next round roster.
Dane: We may have to fight against each other. If that is the case, I expect a good fight.
Y/N: Right back at you Sir Knight.
Shang-Chi smiled at your banter before looking up. Anton walked past the three of you without sparing a glance. Once he was out of ear shot, you closed your eyes and focused on reading his thoughts. There was nothing there. Either he's a idiot, or he's mind is so focused on winning that he can't think of anything else.
Y/N: Damn.
Shang-Chi: What's going on?
You shook your head.
Y/N: It's nothing.
Announcer: Fighters please make your way to the arena for the roster.
The three of you all did just that. All six fighters stood in the arena as the spectators watched. Nothing was going to happen so there wasn't much to cheer for. The man told you all when you are fighting, you got the third and final fight of the round, before heading off.
Y/N: So, am I fighting any of you?
Shang-Chi: I'm first.
Dane: Second. Looks like we aren't fighting just yet.
Y/N: But that does mean we're up against the other three. I heard they're quite strong.
The two looked at you with raised brows.
Dane: And where did you hear this?
You blushed suddenly.
Y/N: Just around the village.
Shang-Chi: Was this when you were walking around and holding hands with the princess?
Dane gave a knowing smirk while you just rolled your eyes.
Y/N: Whatever. We're going to need to buckle down on this one. I want to see the two of you in the finals.
Shang-Chi: Likewise.
Dane: Best of luck to the both of you.
