The blow struck Will squarely on the chin, and he took two steps back before steadying himself. Jessica's fury was far from quenched, and as she advanced, she kicked out again. This time, Will reacted quickly, blocking her strike.
His gaze fell upon her body, and upon seeing her nearly bare upper half, he froze in shock.
Regaining her wits, Jessica pulled up her slipping top and took a step forward, executing a spinning kick, her high-heeled foot landing fiercely against his chest.
Bodyguards from a distance heard the commotion and rushed over. Not daring to linger in combat, she glared at Will, who had tumbled to the ground, and then turned to vault out of the corridor window.
"Quick... catch her!"
Worried about Gan Tang, Will turned and grabbed a bodyguard by the collar.
"Notify the Duke immediately, the young prince has been taken away!"
Turning, he smoothly leapt out of the corridor window, only to see no sign of Jessica's whereabouts.
