I walked out with Philip and Charles, taking a tour of the artificial lake, towards the training ground.
"You would enjoy your stay here, Philip. Cassius is a very good trainer and he is good at sword-wielding too." I must say when it cos to manipulation of words, no one can beat Charles. He would do his best to show Philip that this was the best deal he could get.
"And Killian Is getting trained by the best knights, you must see him getting trained." Charles kept on boasting, while I followed silently, but it does make feel proud.
"Co, we are here. I can hear the sound of swords. Is there any competing today, Cassius?" He asked and I smiled.
"Killian must be practising, he is training very hard these days" I replied proudly.
"Of course, he will give good competition_ to my little brother. Although.." I looked at him furrowing my brows. Why did he get silent suddenly?
I almost bumped into Philips, why did both of them stop walking.
"what happened, is there sothing." The wrong word stuck in my mouth.
what the hell is happening here? Marianne was dressed up as a knight and was attacking Killian with her sword.
before I could even think, my legs moved and I almost ran towards them.. my hands were automatically on the hilt of my sword.
I reached there just when Marianne was going to attack Killian.
I used all the force to stop her attack, a strong clang reverberated in the air.
I should have stopped, but my anger got the better of . how dare she tried to hurt Killian, in the broad daylight.
so I attacked that also using my full force. I saw her shocked expressions and I smirked. did she think, no one will stop her because of her title?

Marianne POV
I was about to end the spar with my last hit. since I did not want to hurt him, I decided to attack her chest area and made an "M" sign on his shirt, it would look cool and then he had to accept my deal. I know he was tired, he didn't have strong stamina as mine.
But I was shocked by my wits when I saw, Cassius there, defending his son. The sound of a sword almost made deaf and my whole body jerked.
I could see he had used all his force in that. did he want to kill or what!
I saw he had a smirk on his face, and in the next second, he attacked straight at my neck. my eyes widened, as I bent and used my sword to defend.
I knew I could not win against him, he was much more trained and fit than . but when I saw the smirk on his face. I decided to put my life at stake to wipe that smirk off his face.
so I attacked his chest but he just flipped, I turned and aid his hands. he raised a brow, as if mocking then he flipped and back turned. he showed that he was retreating but I knew it was his secret trick.
He would show his opponent that he was retreating, when the opponent would try to attack, taking its benefit he would suddenly aim at the heart of the opponent. To use this trick on , how much hatred did he have towards !
And here I was loving him all my life, in a hope that one day my love would be reciprocated. My heart and eyes turned cold at the thought. Since he wanted a battle, I was not the one to back out.
Instead of going forward as he was expecting, I took out the dagger and threw it in his hands. Thank goodness that the knights uniform is equipped with two daggers except for a sword.
The dagger passed wounding his upper arm, I could see the sleeves turning red. His eyes widened and then turned colder, his face filled with hatred. What! Were you expecting to stay like a mannequin doll when you stab with the sword?
It would have been in the past, but not anymore. I moved forward and aid at his other hand, which he had defended at the last mont. He must have been surprised. I flipped back and bent and aid at his legs, but he jumped in the air.
I gripped my other hand in the last dagger I had, in case he uses another trick. He swiped his sword, and I lift the blade again to block his attack. But this ti I parry, I pushed away his sword and then moved to attack his wound.
He stepped away and attacked my arm with the sword, I could feel the pain, and I was sure it was deeper than the one I had given him.
This ti he tried to stab . So when he tried attacking, I blocked his move with my sword. Putting my full force to hold his sword, I lifted my feet towards his groin. I pushed with my feet against his body to push him off balance and attack him.
He fell and I was about to attack his chest, giving it a small wound to end the fight, but he flipped on the floor and jumped. He stood back straight and attacked my neck straight. I was not prepared this ti. Though I blocked with my sword, the force was much more than I could bear. My sword fell on the floor and his sword wounded my neck.
"That's enough, stop it right now." I heard the voice, I turned back and saw the sa man, with golden eyes and the emperor.
So they were here all the ti, and yet they let Cassius attack , and only now did they realise that they needed to stop this crazy man.
"You are taking a friendly match too far, Cassius." his voice was soft but stern
"It was not a friendly match"
