The Eleventh Match
Characters: Lucy, Reiko, Spectators
Location: The Coliseum.
Time: Two days after the last fights.
Summary: The eleventh of the death matches.
Warnings: Character death warning.
This time, it was the king who was waiting in his throne and the liar who ran in late. The king grabbed him by the wrist and turned him around, blocking the audience's view. Today, the liar had no hat.
“Your cravat.”
“Oh. I thought—”
“Take a moment.” As the liar began to fiddle with something at his neck, presumably his cravat, the king said, “Should I ask?”
“You can guess.” With a flash of his smile, the liar turned around and stepped up onto the ledge of the Emperor's box. There, balanced perfectly, he said, “Vengeance and violence is always a winning combination, and today's two combatants are both filled with wrath. Ladies and gentleman, please welcome Reiko Saeki and Lucy Saxon to the arena!”
With that, he stepped off the ledge and retreated to his throne beside the king. The hourglass began counting the time. Silently, the king offered the liar a hat.
