Normal POV

----11.30, tournament field----

The sound of the horn was heard as the host spoke to the audience through the mic. "Welcome to the jousting tournament on this ceremonial day. On this event, hundreds of knights have come to participate on this tournament." The crowd's shouts, cheers, and clap was heard across Rome, excited for the match.

"Today his majesty would like to join as well, appointing the greatest knight in all of Rome to fight on his behalf, the 'Prince of War'". The crowd gasp and cheers, for the dark knight never participates in tournaments. Every knights are afraid and nervous, for the dark knight has slaughtered more than 10.000 soldiers and 1.000 knights. No one knows his identity, not even the king.

------earlier that day------

"Hey, DK watcha up to ?" The White Knight asked. Someone suddenly jumps up and scared them, well, one of them. "Whats up guys" "AH!, RK !WTH MAN !?" "Sorry, where's BR ?" asked Red Knight. "I don't know probably still sleeping..." " Dear Zeus, its ceremonial day and he's still sleeping ?" While they're busy talking to each other, DK slips out and started his trainning for the day. "Dude, where's DK ? He was here like a second ago...." "I dont know, he's always like that. It's 95% chance he went trainning."

And as WK said, DK was out on the trainning grounds, perfecting his swing. His specialty was a scythe, WK's was a sword, RK's was archery, and BR's was an axe. They got their names for a reason. Dark Knight : has slaughtered 11.000 people and to add on that he's merciless, White Knight : after killing the enemy, he would stab the kingdom flag on its body, shows loyalty, Red Knight : he shows torture as he was assigned to interogate, and Blood Reaper : was an executioner with a total of 1000 executions.

Meanwhile inside the knight compound...

BR shows up and he doesnt look happy... "Dude can you pls just shut up! I'm trying to sleep." "Hey, today's the ceremonial day, did you forget ? You're supposed to escort the king today." WK reminded. And of course BR imedietly woke up and shouts curse words while running along the hall to the armour room while RK and WK are laughing their butts off.

On the trainning ground DK was horseback riding while swinging his scythe when he was approached by the king himself. DK got off his horse and bow down to the king. He said "Your Highness, may i ask you what you're here for ?" Ask DK imedietly. "Dark Knight. You seem to be doing good." After a little stroll around the field, the king suddenly said "I assigned you to join the tournament on my behalf. I will be expecting you at noon." After he said that, he turned around and goes back inside his carriage. Leaving behind a shock knight. DK has never fought on a tournament, when he fights, he fights till death. Who knows what'll happen when he plays.

----back to beginning time----

"Hey look, it's the Pure Angel !" "What, no way!, the greatest female knight !?" "Yeah i heard that she's slain 8.000 soldiers on her own!" "OMG, it's Pure Angel !" Pure Angel was walking towards her friend Satan Devil when the gossips and chaters about her started. PA was popular enough to get known for she is the greatest female knight. Some say that the female knight herself might rival against the Dark Knight.

She gets her name from her fighting skills and personality. She's kind and generous and yet she fights elegantly but strong. Her weapon of choice is a pair of twin swords.

Her friend and sometimes partner is Satan Devil. SD was one of the top female knights, not as strong as PA though. She gets her name from her mischievous tricks and tactics. Her weapon of choice is a spear.

"Its been a long time since i see you Angel" "You too Devil" PA and SD are best friends since their young. They got seperated since they work for the dukedoms. "So, how's life A?" "Not bad actually, you?" "Same old, same old. Btw, i heard you're gonna fight against the Dark Knight, is it true ?" "Yeah, probably. Though I'm not really that scared, just nervous" "The Pure Angel, nervous? Thats new." "Well when you're facing Rome's greatest knight, then yeah, I am." SD takes deep breaths and said "Well I'm just happy I'm not the one facing him." PA just rolls her eyes jokingly of her frend's silliness.

----time skip to tournament----

There was a total of 5 round a bonus 6th round especialy for the 2 greatest knights.

The first round ended pretty much quick as some of the knights we're eliminated. The second round was quick as well but it took a little more longer. On the third round, the fight began to bring heat and tense. The fourth round was quite heated as the knights has started to be more balanced. And the fifth round was tense. All knights seem to be on the same level of strength and there were only 2 female knights left. Satan Devil and Pure Angel. The male knights on the other hand was left with Blood Reaper and of course Dark Knight. Red Knight and White Knight were out after fighting each other and ended uo witha tied score.

Then after a 10 minuite break, a 6th round has held. Dark Knight vs Pure Angel. Yep, the greatest knight vs the greatest knight.

(Im not that good in fighting scenes so bear with me...) Both of them, aware of each other's strengths were on high alert for this round. As they circled around each other, examining anything they could to help them. They tense were already through the roof. No one, not even a single audience dared to make a sound. As the bell rang. They charged unto each other. Neither of them planning to back down. As they kept on fighting, suddenly PA's hand pushed DK's mask, making it flew and eventually drop to the ground, everyone started to try to catch a glimpse on his face. Once they did, they gasp and some of them even faint. DK was a handsome man, even PA is stunned. She was at shock, and let down her guard. And if course, DK took that chance to pinn her on the ground. She couldn't fight back, her figure were slim and petite whilst his was lean and strong. And of course, she lost to the Dark Knight.

----time skip to midnight----

Because of that day's event, he couldn't sleep, now everyone knows his face and he's kinda mad, ok scratch that he's furious, he had been hiding his identity for so long and a girl ruinned it. Trying to shake the thoughts out of his mind he went into the forest, near the compound to refresh. Inside the forest, he found a waterfall. As he wanted to dip inside, he saw a girl, no, a woman, bathing and enjoying the nice refreshing water. As he went to get a closer look, the dagger that he brought, reflected the shine of the moonlight and got into her eyesight, in a hurry, she dressed and quickly ran out of the forest. He wanted to chase her though, but he choose not to.
