When they were apart, Marie-Claire stood up and tapped her spear onto the platform. The crowd’s cheering died down and everyone watched the Matriarch. "I wish to congratulate both fighters for a spectacular fight! You both fought admirably and should be proud of yourselves!" She paused as the crowd cheered and the two fighters bowed at the Matriarch’s word. "Colette of the Pélissier clan." The Veela who was knocked unconscious stood straight at the Matriarch’s focus on her. "Do not be discouraged by your loss. Know that a loss means a chance to further improve yourself. No Veela here will look down upon you." Nearly every Veela nodded their heads in agreement with Marie-Claire, even I gave a curt nod to Colette.
