The Ten Duel Commandments Novels & Stories

Immediately someone spoke with what seemed to be a Pandora's Version microphone. "Welcome to our 500th duel in our history in the Academy!" The emcee shouted that the audience immediately shouted. Alas, only 300 spartans can shout. There is still Awoh! Aww! know more. "This will be one of the historic events in our history since duel rarely happens in our academy. Especially, ranking duel!" It shouted again, full of energy. "And I know you are all excited since one of the champions will be in the duel versus the human challenger. But first of all, I would like to acknowledge the presence of our higher court and the Royal Family! King Skylar Dwayne Vel Versailles! Queen Ruth Avery Zel Versail

Samudra drew a deep breath in before speaking, "My dear King of Kaushala, I killed in defence. As everyone knows few hours before his death, he had tried to harm me. His intentions were questionable since their arrival. Even during the meal before, it was there for everyone to see how inappropriate their conduct was. The 7th tenet of Council of Kings allows a participant of the Council defend his personal/family's/Kingdom's honor at any cost and protects him from any form of punishment even in case of fatalities. I had to kill him to prevent danger to self as well as my family." King of Kaushala actually smiled at this defence as this was a fool proof argument. Indeed the 7th Tenet allowed p

Maxie spoke up with a cold voice, “The duel has clear rules. Each participant is responsible for their own life and death. Aurora doesn’t need to pay you a damn thing even if she kills your son right here today.” “What?” Hellen cried, “We never heard such rules! It doesn’t count!” “It is written in the Pack’s law,” Aurora shrugged. “If you have a problem with this, maybe I should send you to the person who made the rule. Say…Alpha Damien?”

“Before we begin the duel, allow me to state the rules: The first one to pin the opponent to the ground will be the winner. Emma enchanted the clothes you were wearing with spells, so they will not get destroyed if you shift into your wolf form, so feel free to transform into your wolf form wherever you want. You are not allowed to withdraw from the duel in between the match. So, if you want to withdraw from the match, withdraw before the fight begins. You are not allowed to kill or severely injure your opponent. You are not allowed to ask for help from anyone during the fight. The person who loses the duel will give up on Cole and become the servant of the winner for the rest of their life.

“Now, a reading of the commandments. I hereby swear that the needs of the family come before all else, even my own personal needs. I hereby swear that I shall honor my mate/wife and every mate/wife within the family to the highest degree. I hereby swear, that I shall never collude with an outsider, whether an enemy of the family or law enforcement unless it is expressly agreed upon by a committee of at least five ranked soldiers. I hereby swear that family money is to be treated as such and that my cut only comes after all debts are settled and costs are paid. I hereby swear never to partake in drugs of any sort that may cloud my judgment or alter my perceptions. I hereby swear that I will r

And that was terrifying. "No," Barzil said. His voice was flat. Final. The Iron Warden stepping between the executioner and the condemned. "This is not a negotiation, Advisor," Barzil continued. His golden eyes burned. "The Asset is a trainee. You are a High Commander of the Royal Guard. A duel violates the Code of Conduct regarding rank disparity." "The Code applies to soldiers, Barzil," Ishara countered smoothly. Leaning over the rail. "Is she a soldier? Or is she equipment?"

The moment I am no longer under Ravok's protection, werewolves who hate me would pounce on me. “As much as I would like to say a few things, I believe it is no use and would prefer if we just go straight to the point,” Elder James said as he rose from his chair, guarded by more warriors than necessary. He and Abel were the only council members able to attend that day. “However, I will state the very simple rules. No one is permitted to kill the other—this is a sanctioned duel, not an execution. The winner will be declared when one of you is too weak to rise and fails to stand within ten seconds. Should either of you ignore this decree, you will answer directly to the council.”

I asked softly, my eyes fixed on Kaelen’s armored back. ​"Ancient law," Beta Marcus whispered, riding up to my side, his face pale. "A blood duel between commanders to settle a territorial dispute without sacrificing the armies. To the death, or to the yield. The Council cannot legally refuse it without forfeiting their honor and losing the loyalty of the traditionalist packs."

Only… people of the Underworld know it. "The rules of the duel will be… whoever decided to abdicate from the duel will automatically lose. Whoever who're unable to continue the fight can also surrender. And whoever took a step out from the floor mat will also lose. When any of these conditions was reached, the duel will be stopped." Leonard looked at Damian as if asking for permission or approval and when Damian didn't make any response, he added, "Weapons are not allowed! Whoever uses any weapon or hidden weapon first and violates the rule of killing or attempting to kill your opponent will also count you as a loser with a punishment that is bound for you to receive no matter what!"

It was all riding on me now. “The Alpha Duel has two rules: One, the winner, or in his absence, his second-in-command, gets to enforce his terms, and the defeated must give his Alpha Word, or in his absence, his second-in-command must give his Beta word, to accept those terms; and two, the defeated is the Alpha who perishes first or surrenders.” Myron kept a calm demeanor all throughout, his arms to his sides with a thoughtful expression on his face. His eyes were set on me, shifting from time to time to the background.
