Forgotten Juliet - Chapter 72
The swordsmanship competition, as the most popular event, was held over seven days, with five matches per day.
The arena was already packed with spectators.
“The winner! Romeo Pascal!”
The winner of the fifth day’s final match was Roy.
However, even after his opponent, who had admitted defeat, left the arena, Roy didn’t leave his spot.
He picked up the sword that his opponent had dropped and walked to the front row of the audience seats where he could get a good view of the arena.
Then, with a grin, he started talking to Juliet.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Until Roy approached, Juliet had been blankly watching the departing crowd.
“Huh? About what?”
One of Roy’s eyebrows raised in what seemed to be annoyance.
“I won, so you should praise me!”
It felt as if a tail was swishing behind Roy.
“Pff.”
Juliet sneakily looked at the tournament bracket and then burst into laughter.
Ah, who cares? At this point, what does it all matter?
The opponent who had just dropped his sword and admitted defeat was Fabian, the winner of this tournament in her previous life.
Juliet pretended to pat him on the head as he wanted.
“Yes, you did very well.”
In reality, neither Jude nor Roy should have participated in this swordsmanship competition. Perhaps because of that, Fabian didn’t win.
Juliet felt relieved that she hadn’t bet money on him.
‘Huh?’
Suddenly, Juliet felt someone’s gaze.
Lately, she had been feeling these mysterious gazes more frequently.
She looked around but didn’t see anyone suspicious…
Instead, she noticed someone quickly leaving the arena.
“Wait a moment.”
Juliet hurriedly called out to a man walking ahead.
“Jude!”
But he kept walking without even turning around.
“Wait! Jude!”
Juliet didn’t give up and chased after him.
Fortunately, because of the crowd blocking him, Juliet was able to catch up and grab his hand.
“Jude!”
Jude, who had stopped walking, swiftly turned to face her.
“Yes. Why are you doing this, lady?”
Even when their eyes met, Jude’s expression showed no surprise.
His face also lacked any warmth.
Juliet wasn’t one to beat around the bush.
“Jude, are you mad at me?”
“Mad…!”
Jude’s face contorted.
He seemed to take a deep breath while looking away, then looked directly at Juliet again.
“You abandoned all of us! You deceived our master too! Do you know how much…!”
