Leanna swung herself onto her horse and galloped forward.
At full gallop, she swiftly nocked an arrow to her longbow.
As the horse was about to pass the target, Leanna loosed an arrow at lightning speed, striking dead center of the bullseye.
Her archery was skilled, yet unremarkable, just a typical master’s level.
Compared to Alivia and Karlie’s earlier demonstrations, Leanna’s performance seemed rather lackluster.
But just as Leanna was riding back, the guard retrieving the arrows from the target suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, “Three arrows! There are three arrows!”
The crowd thought, ‘What? Three arrows?‘
Among the crowd, only a handful of highly skilled masters had clearly seen what happened. Everyone else was utterly stunned.
The crowd clearly saw Leanna shoot one arrow. How could there be three? No one saw her shoot a second or third arrow. They wondered if the guard could have made a mistake.
The guard retrieved three arrows and hurried to the King. He bowed and raised the arrows aloft with both hands.
He said, “Your Majesties, just–just now, Lady Leanna truly shot three arrows.”
There were really three arrows. Everyone wondered how Leanna did that. No one even saw how it happened.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out from nearby. “Lady Leanna’s rapid–fire archery skills are truly admirable. If I hadn’t been watching closely just now, I wouldn’t have noticed at all. What incredible speed!”
It was Malik.
Malik had indeed witnessed it. Leanna loosed three arrows in rapid succession. But at such blinding speed, no one else could even process what they
were seeing.
It was a rapid–fire triple shot.
If even Malik was singing her praises, how could anyone in the crowd remain unconvinced?
The King burst into a hearty laugh. “Excellent! Splendid! The women of the Yates family are truly exceptional.”
A thunderous applause erupted instantly, only to be abruptly silenced as the entire crowd fell into a breathless hush.
The Yates family’s final contender was mounting her horse.
It was Jessica, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Capitalia.
She was absolutely breathtaking. Clad in a sleek, perfectly tailored black outfit, her hourglass figure was on full display.
Her curves were full yet refined, her waist impossibly slender. As she sat astride her horse, those long, straight legs made her silhouette a living masterpiece–a vision of perfection.
Then there was her face.
Barefaced yet breathtaking like a landscape painting, her features radiated painterly beauty. With her long hair tied up high, she carried a warrior’s bearing, yet possessed an innate sensuality uncommon in ordinary women.

Her beauty defied all description.
Countless men were completely spellbound, utterly forgetting their surroundings as they gazed at her.
Waldo had been captivated by her beauty for years, yet every time he saw her, it was
herself.
if she revealed an even more mesmerizing and enchanting side of
In fact, part of why he enjoyed being with Priscilla was that she was so unremarkable. That helped restore his masculine pride.
Jessica was just too exceptional. Although Waldo was a prince, sometimes, standing beside Jessica, who shone so brightly, he couldn’t help but feel a little inferior.
At that moment, Jessica sat ramrod straight on her horse, her radiant grace on full display. For a brief moment, Waldo found himself utterly transfixed.
Suddenly, a clear laugh rang out beside him. Yuna said, “Ms. Yates is truly the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. That delicate, willowy waist of hers looks as if it could break with the slightest touch. It’s impossible not to be enchanted.”
Waldo’s eyes darkened slightly as he averted his gaze. Turning to Yuna, he remarked, “She might be beautiful, but far too delicate.”
He needed a woman who could fight alongside him and dominate the battlefield. Jessica was simply too delicate. She was better suited for a more sheltered life.
On this point alone, she paled in comparison to the Mcbride sisters.
