The Noble Swordsman

“Come on!” Said the knight menacingly. His eyes glinted through the narrow slits of his domed helmet. The knight's armoured legs quivered, rattling its armour. Adelaide von Forge scoffed at the bad show of bravery. “You say that while facing a man who has a wooden sword” Retorted the noble

“But if you insist I will take you up on your offer.” Adelaide dashed forward raising up dust on the courtyard, his sword pierced forward at blistering speeds. The knight hurriedly sidestepped and tried to parry the blow but was too slow. The wooden sword swished towards the knight's head only to gently wack the helmet.

“You…you…” The knight clenched his fists. “Take this seriously!” He roared

Adelaide looked quizzically at him, the faintest smile on his lips ”But I’ve never been trained in swordsmanship. How do you expect me to be able to hurt you? Additionally my father was a scholar and did not believe in training with the sword”

The knight in quite clearly not a playful mood swung his sword in a broad arc. In the blink of an eye Adelaide ducked under it and with ferocious energy smashed the sword into the knight's head.The helmet buckled and warped before the wooden sword exploded into splinters. Adelaide turned towards the king and bowed onto one knee.”Your highness that was the last knight, since there are no longer any opponents, I will humbly wait in a nearby estate for my execution until they are able to continue.” Adelaide stood up before going away.

“He’s making a mockery of us.” Roared the king from his balcony that oversaw the courtyard slamming his fist on the railing.

Adelaide walked through the front gates of the palace.

“Amateurs, every single one of them” He said to himself, shaking his head.
