Yun withdrew his gaze from Yu Xiaohan's face and turned to his best friend in the past. "I'm guilty, Kerry, but I don't owe you anything, because I never wanted to hurt you and snatch Xia Qing from you."

Kerry stared straight into the clouds and read sincere emotion in his eyes.

"Let's have a duel, my friend." Half an hour later, Kerry asked.

"Good!" Yun Er agreed without saying a word.

"Are you two crazy?" Yu Xiaohan screamed in disbelief, she thought things would take a turn for the better, but she didn't expect the situation to be worse.

"Absolutely not, don't hear it!" Kerry's mother cried out in a state of utterance. "One is my own son, and the other is a child I grew up watching, your relationship has always been better than that of your own brothers, why do you want to duel? Brothers are like siblings, they are all part of the body, and killing each other will only bring misfortune! ”

"Mom, even if it's a brother, there is a knot in his heart that can't be untied, so let's break off the past grievances!" Kerry said calmly.

Kerry hadn't experienced such a feeling of relaxation in years. He wasn't sure he would win, but winning or losing didn't matter to him.

Kerry's angry relatives looked at their son worriedly, but couldn't say anything to ask him to change his mind. As a mother, she understands her son's pride, how can she bear to destroy the main part of his character?

"Time and place?" Cloud inquiry.

Kerry thought about it for a moment, "Three days later, at dawn, in front of the square in front of the Pantheon. ”

"Okay, that's it."

"Wouldn't it? --- you really don't think about it anymore? Yu Xiaohan felt top-heavy, and couldn't understand why they could take life and death so lightly?

"If you really know us as well as you say, you should know that this is inevitable." Yun replied calmly, and he slowly walked down the stairs and stood still in front of her.

Yu Xiaohan cautiously raised his head and looked at Yun's slightly haggard face.

She couldn't refute it, she couldn't dissuade it, because she understood that the duel was an inevitable outcome, and from the moment Xia Qing ended her life, it was doomed to their hostile fate.

"The duel in three days, I hope you can be there." Kerry suddenly made a request to her.

"Why do --- want me to go?" Yu Xiaohan turned around in pain. She couldn't imagine what she would have done if something had happened to any of them.

"I hope to be able to attend, too." Yun echoed.

"How can you say such a thing." Yu Xiaohan turned around angrily, they only cared about their own feelings, but they didn't care about her thoughts at all.

"Go, kid!" Kerry's mother opened her mouth unexpectedly. She gracefully stepped down the stairs, but took Yu Xiaohan's hand and whispered in her ear: "It is undeniable that you are indeed the fuse of this matter, so go ahead, go and witness this duel for them, and provide appropriate assistance if necessary." ”

Yu Xiaohan held back the emotions stirring in his heart and pretended to be nothing.

Yes, how did she forget that she had a similar appearance to Xia Qing? With this face, she might be able to keep their duel from ending in tragedy!

"I promise!" Yu Xiaohan replied calmly.

She had to go, she had to go. Otherwise, she may regret it for the rest of her life.

"Great." Kerry's mother squeezed Yu Xiaohan's hand encouragingly, "Are you going to stay here before the duel, or do you want to go back with Yun?" ”

"Neither side is considered." Yu Xiaohan replied in a chic manner.

"Do you have any money on you? Is it okay to be alone? "Yun can't help but worry about her.

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Yu Xiaohan took out a silk hand towel from his pocket, and when he spread it out, there were more than a dozen diamond-encrusted buttons inside.

These treasures came from the expensive dress on Princess Seti, which was worth at least 20 million, and Yu Xiaohan couldn't be sure that Yun would always take her in for food and shelter, so he cut these delicate buttons and carried them with him in case of emergency.

"See you in three days, then." Yun didn't say anything more and left first.

Looking at the back of Yun leaving, Yu Xiaohan suddenly felt lonely.

She finds herself not honest and fair enough, and even though Kerry is like an old friend to her, she can't help but turn her heart to the clouds---

－－－

Twilight.

Kerry sat alone in front of the long floor-to-ceiling window, letting his mind settle in the silence of the space, when suddenly someone pushed open the barrier door, bringing the noise of the outside world into his private realm---

"Sir, haven't you already caught the cloud? Why was there a delay in returning Princess Seti to the embassy? Doss endured for many days, and finally couldn't help but come to the door and ask for clarification.

He could not trust Kerry, and in order to ensure his own interests, Doss sent his men to ambush nearby to keep track of their movements.

Kerry listened, and to him, Doss was just an inconsequential little character.

"Sir, I just want to recover the rights I deserve, please don't break the original agreement!" Doss's tone of voice became tough. "Anyway, Princess Seti is a member of our Monegasque royal family, and you have no right to forcibly detain her!"

Kerry didn't bother to say anything, and directly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Doss's chest.

"I think it's very unwise for you to do that." Doss's face changed slightly, but he forced a calm appearance. "Aren't you worried about causing an international dispute?"

"Joke!" Kerry sneered at the words and pulled the trigger.

Doss's eyes opened in disbelief, and he fell backwards with a 'bang', blood gushing out of the wound, instantly staining the marble floor red.

"You're --- so ruthless---" Doss complained as he struggled with accusations, swallowing his last breath in pain.

Kerry didn't even glance at the corpse, as if the scene was just an inconsequential episode, and the air was just as normal except for the smell of smoke and blood.

On the eve of the duel, nothing was enough to make him feel sorry.

Kerry quietly reminisces about the past in his own space.

As night began to cover the world, he knew that the wheel of fate had begun to turn, and no one could stop it---

－－－

After exchanging some diamond buttons for the required money, Yu Xiaohan bought a pure white dress.

Although her heart is biased towards the clouds, she must maintain a neutral and respectable attitude in this duel, and this dress is meant to remind her of this.

She is burdened with a heavy mission, as well as unspeakable regrets, after all, the knot between Yun and Kerry is caused by her---

In addition to her impartiality in attitude, she must also be present with a cautious and solemn mood, and this dress with a generous cut and no frills is the most suitable outfit.

After arriving at the destination, paying the fare and tips, Yu Xiaohan thought that she would be the first to arrive at the Pantheon, but when she walked to the square, she found that the two protagonists of this duel were earlier than her.

Yun and Kerry sat quietly at opposite ends of the scales in a corner of the temple, neither of them wanting to upset the balance before the time came.

In this duel, she plays the role of the fulcrum in the center of the scales, a necessary presence that cannot interfere with the outcome.

Yu Xiaohan sat on the ground in front of the steps, not going to either side, her mood gradually stabilized, and she greeted the dawn with them in the silence of the eaves.

At this moment, Yu Xiaohan's heart seemed to be able to resonate with them, she no longer felt afraid, no longer tried to make them change their minds, but just sincerely prayed to the heavens---

Regardless of victory or defeat, after today, the old grievances will no longer haunt each other's hearts.

Time passed quietly in waiting, and the sun slowly rose from the horizon according to its established orbit.

The sky was bright, the night gradually faded, and only the cool dawn fog left yesterday's silence.

Cloud suddenly got up, and Kerry had the same tacit understanding.

The time for the duel --- finally arrived.

Yu Xiaohan sat in the distance and did not move, and as they walked towards the central court, the saber that shook with their footsteps reflected the golden sunlight and reflected on her pupils.

At that moment, she almost lost her sight, and it took a while for her eyes to adjust to the light.
