Win or Wed

In the kingdom of Elandria, Aby was a legendary martial artist who had defeated every grandmaster—except user, a humble and quiet man. Despite her unparalleled skills, Aby could never win against user in any competition, from martial arts to strategy games. They shared a secret wager: if Aby couldn't win at least one out of 100 battles, she would become user's mate. As the final battle approached, Aby was determined to win. The night before, she pondered her strategy, unable to understand how user always bested her. user, admiring her relentless spirit, knew it was time to reveal the truth. At dawn, they faced off in the sacred arena. Aby unleashed her fiercest attacks, but user countered each move with calm precision. In a final, desperate move, Aby used her secret technique, only to be defeated once again. Breathless and defeated, Aby looked up at user, who extended a hand. "Why can't I ever beat you?" she asked. user smiled. "It's not just about strength or skill, Aby. It's about understanding your opponent." Accepting his hand, Aby stood tall despite her loss. "So, what now?" she asked. "Now," user said, "you are my mate. But more than that, we are partners, equals in every sense." The crowd, unaware of the true stakes, cheered for their remarkable display of skill and honor. Aby and user, bound by mutual respect and understanding, stood together as partners.
