Royal Sword
Zulia POV
On getting to the training grounds with Artemis
"Hello Princess" a soldier bowed
I smiled at him
"I'll be very delighted if you refer to me as Zulia,in here I'm just part of you"
A guy walked towards me,he looks tough
"Princess you sure you won't have a hard time here?,this isn't a tea party" he laughs
"Thanks for you concern, but I won't" I faked a smile
The captain arrived and approached me
"Your Majesty said I should train you,directly from my command" he says
"Okay sir"
"You shall refer to me as commander "
"Yes commander "
"Firstly we'll have to see what our princess can do,looks like you got a sword there in your hands" he points at me sword
Seems like he is looking down on me
"I'll give you one of our weakest soldiers why don't you go into actual combat with him"
"Weakest?"
"Jack!!!" he called out
Everyone seems to be making fun of this Jack as he comes forward
"Looks like you'll finally he able to beat someone up today" someone among the soldiers yelled
"Are you ready princess" Commander says
"Ready set.... draw your swords"
I held the handle of my sword which felt like we became one.
"That's some nice looking sword you got there Princess " he smiles
"Better don't stab yourself princess, it's not a bread knife" a soldier yelled from the back
Looks like they mock weaklings alot here,I'll have to show them their place
I might be 17 but not so weak as they might think
The sword fight began
Jack swung his sword and he hits my waist with the back of his sword,i lost my balance and fell on the floor
They all laughed
I got back up
"You really must think today is your day Jack,don't go easy on me"
He came close to me with full force swinging his sword,he sliced the air almost hitting me
For the first time I'm actually thrilled,I'm meant to probably feel fear
But where is this confidence I feel within me
I grasped my sword tighter ran forward doing a weird flip I never knew I could do,swung my sword and was able to hit him
"Yessss!" I shouted,Jack looks at me with the little tear on his cheek,he wipes off the blood
"Looks like the princess might be better than me" He smiles
"You sure talk sweetly Jack,better concentrate "
Our swords clashes making a schwinging sound,I must admit I love sword fighting
My body began to move like it was on air,my body felt lighter
I could move amd swing as much as I want in this dress
I am filled with joy to the brim,I finally held my sword at Jack's neck
"I win"
I jumped Artemis approaches me
"looks like you came to congratulate momma,"i pet his back
"You're so pathetic Jack, you got beaten by a princess, once a weakling always a weakling"
I walked up to him
"May I know your name"
"Kai,my name is Kai"
"Kai you say, seems we have a problem already" I looked at him
"Ohh Princess what problem, seems you got proud beating just one soldier,a weak one to be presise
I drew my sword
"Dare move and that head of yours might end up on the floor" I said in a cold voice
"Princess" Commander Rake yells
"Yes commander" I removed my sword from Kai's neck
"No inner fight within a squad except issued as a competition"
"Yes commander"
"And you Kai, watch what you say" He warns
"She's one of us and part of our squad and will train with us" He said in a stern voice
"To be honest, you're actually stronger than I thought, how can you move like that "Jack says
"Don't flatter me,I just moved"
To be honest, I also can't believe I moved that way, I caught Artemis staring at me
Does a wolf stare that way?
