Chapter 1245 Poetry Challenge P04: Grimdawn– I’ll Be Your Hero
Eren boldly wrapped his arm around Nina's waist as he stood beside her.
He placed his hand on the lectern and activated the sound-element runes before speaking confidently.
"I'll win this. And then I'll make you do naughty things for me."
Eren spoke as he ran his fingers through his hair. He exuded dominance through his actions and words.
Nina and the rest of the audience were speechless by Eren's shamelessness. She pushed him in jest and pretended to step away from him. But her futile attempts were in vain as Eren pulled her even closer to himself.
"Hehe. Bold. Grimdawn, you are very unique, I must say."
Osha chuckled and complimented Eren on his actions. He showed affection for Nina physically while also radiating confidence to win against her. She just hoped his words would be as endearing as his actions for Nina's sake.
Eren also received encouragement from his male audience. He raised his hand and asked them to quiet down. He came up with a brand-new composition. When he did, he smiled and looked at Nina, "I bet you will love this," he said before separating from her.
Grimdawn adjusted his coat and stood straight by the lectern before presenting his response.
"Every corner of your heart, soaked with emotion,
A heart that wavers, slowing its devotion.
Dark clouds in the sky represent pain.
As you release a sigh battered and drained.
Your trust has been shattered, leaving you to wonder why.
You wilt like a flower, a desolate cry.
The beauty within has lost its touch.
Your heart now beats to be crushed.
The pain inside plays you like a fiddle.
As the heartache gives you its riddle:
Pain or cold, which one to choose?
You accept the coldness and refuse the bruise.
You think no one deserves your love,
As so many have tricked you, wearing a white glove.
But I am here, eager to show you the way.
That not everyone will leave and walk away.
Let me prove my worth, give me a chance.
I'll ignite the lost fire and make our hearts dance.
I'll become a villain to prove myself so.
But in the end, I'll be your hero."
Nina's eyes sparkled as she listened to Eren's composition. She spontaneously ran into his arms on stage when he was finished.
Eren's words were the ideal answer to Nina's composition. It also highlighted that he knew how she felt and what her struggles were.
The male members raised their voices and offered Eren tremendous support. The phrase "naughty things" influenced them to act this way. So it was no wonder that Eren received a more favorable response from the audience than Nina.
As the audience cheered for him, Grimdawn raised Nina's head before kissing her lips. Osha clapped with the audience for some time and let the couple get lost in each other's embrace before speaking excitedly.
"Alright. Grimdawn won this challenge as well. He is on fire today. I am looking forward to jigging with him now. Maybe he will surprise me there as well. Hehe."
Osha said after taking over the lectern from Eren. She then looked at the band of musicians for a clue. When she received a confirmation, she addressed the crowd once again.
"Eren won. But Nina didn't lose either. I'm pleased to announce that both compositions have been selected for the Ball."
Osha announced that Eren and Nina's pieces would be converted into songs to be sung and performed live on stage at the Ball. But it seemed like both of them did not pay attention to the announcement as they were busy talking in private.
Eren had decided that he would receive his reward from Nina in private. They both were about to leave the stage after their roles had been finished on stage. But just then they saw Sara approaching the stage.
Nina knew Sara was also interested in challenging Eren. So she kissed him on his cheeks before returning to her seat, leaving Eren behind on stage.
'Sara, huh! I might lose to her.'
Eren knew Sara was gifted at poetry and art. In fact, the reason he was so good at creating on-the-fly compositions was partly because of her. But that didn't stop him from receiving Sara's challenge.
Osha raised her hand and demanded silence from the crowd when she saw another challenger approaching the stage. And she received silence in return.
Sara's footsteps echoed in the grand hall as she walked.
Sara was dressed in gorgeous semi-formal attire that accentuated her natural beauty. Instead of wearing formals, she opted for semi-formals that set her apart from the rest.
Sara's sun dress was a soft and subtle shade of peach, complementing her shoulder-length peach-red hair that framed her face perfectly. Her hair was neatly styled and had a subtle wave that added to the effortless beauty of her look.
As she walked, her supple skin with a natural pink hue glowed under the grand hall's bright lights. Her natural red lips were curved into a radiant smile that lit up her gorgeous face. Her grayish-blue eyes sparkled with confidence and beauty, leaving everyone in awe.
Sara's attire was completed by a pair of elegant almond-toe pumps, which added sophistication to her ensemble. She carried herself with grace and poise, walking with a confident stride that was both captivating and alluring.
Sara's apt feminine proportions were accentuated by her dress, which had a subtle flair that hugged her curves in all the right places. Her dress had a subtle flower pattern that added a touch of elegance to her attire.
As Sara moved across the grand hall, a gentle breeze carried the alluring scent of her perfume with vanilla and amber notes, adding to her charm and beauty. Her presence was captivating and left a lasting impression on all those who witnessed her grace and elegance.
It wasn't long before Sara stood before the lectern. She first thanked Osha with a light nod before staring at Eren with her blind eyes. The audience quieted down on its own when she presented her composition.
