The King's Queen
Without a second thought, I lash out, my fist connecting with his jaw in a vicious blow.
The impact reverberates through the room, but before I can revel in my retaliation, Ashby strikes back, his own fist connecting with a force that sends me reeling backward. I stumble, the taste of blood filling my mouth, but I refuse to stay down. With a surge of adrenaline, I push myself to my feet, ready to continue the fight.
