A little? Was that what she called “just a little“?
That arrow was aimed straight at his head.
If he hadn’t sensed the danger and dodged in time, his skull would’ve been pierced clean through.
Realizing Eliza might actually have some real skills, Vance narrowed his eyes slightly. “Your archery’s okay, but if you think that’s enough to beat me, you’re dreaming.”
“Then let’s settle this once and for all,” Eliza said calmly, her tone steady. “I’ll show you I never make empty boasts.”
Vance immediately caught her meaning and let out a cold snort. “Fine!”
‘Bring it on. No way I’m losing to a woman! he thought, his pride refusing to accept the possibility.
“Move the target back thirty feet, Vance barked.
But before the servants could act, Eliza shook her head. “Thirty feet isn’t enough.”
“Not enough? Then what does Your Grace suggest?” Vance asked, his tone dripping with mockery.
Eliza’s expression remained calm as she replied, “At least a hundred feet each time. If there’s no winner, move it back another hundred.”
“Such arrogance,” Vance sneered, his voice laced with disdain.
The Malone family members erupted into laughter, their mockery echoing through the air.
“A hundred feet at a time? Does she think she’s some kind of archery prodigy?”
“If she misses the target later, that would be truly hilarious!”
“Your Grace, if you lose, are you going to cry?”
Loud thuds echoed.
“Ahh! Stop! Stop! What are you doing?”
The men who had been mocking Eliza moments ago were screaming in terror.
Nolan’s broadsword flew from his hand, spinning through the air before slamming heavily into the ground right in front of the Malone family members.
The man who had dared to mock Eliza was struck directly, his head bleeding profusely.
“Your Highness…” Theodore shot to his feet, his voice trembling.
“Shut up!” Nolan’s sharp command cut through the air, his piercing gaze freezing Theodore in place, forcing him to adopt a cautious demeanor.
“I don’t want to ruin Your Grace’s enjoyment, so this blade remains sheathed. But if any of you dare to run your mouths again, I promise this blade will taste your blood first.”
The Malone family members, scared out of their wits, quickly shut up and slunk to the back, their faces pale and full of resentment.
As for the man who had been struck, he was already carried away for treatment.
Theodore had been instructed by Sariyah to stall for time while keeping Nolan appeased.
Thus, he dared not provoke Nolan further.
After all, if the Prince Regent were to unleash his wrath in Malone City, the streets would surely run red with blood. Despite the anger boiling inside him, Theodore clenched his fists and swallowed his pride.
No worries. As long as Vance beat Eliza, there was still a chance to challenge Nolan.
If Nolan dared to step into the arena, they would finally have a shot at venting their frustrations.
Theodore turned to Vance, “Vance, since Your Grace has spoken, just follow her wishes and give it your best shot.”
‘If she was determined to humiliate herself, let her have at it!‘
Vance caught the hint in Theodore’s words and smirked. “I set the distance at thirty feet earlier out of courtesy, but since Your Grace wants to raise the stakes, let’s follow her lead. Move the target back a hundred feet”

Once the target was repositioned, Eliza and Vance both stepped into the center of the training field.
“Your Grace, why not go first?” Vance said, his tone dripping with mock politeness..
Eliza didn’t waste any time. She drew her bow, nocked an arrow, and let it fly. The arrow whistled through the air and struck

the bullseye dead center.
Moments later, Vance followed suit. He drew his bow, released his arrow, and it shot straight into the bullseye, splitting Eliza’s arrow cleanly in half.
“Well done!”
The Malone family members erupted in cheers, but their excitement quickly died down when they stole a glance at Nolan and hurriedly fell silent.
“So, Your Grace, ready for another round?” Vance asked smugly, his confidence practically radiating
