Marcus took pride in his training. His use of a sword had been herald near and far for it’s prowess. He’d won tourneys and competitions based on his skills for his castle and home many times. Not that he really cared about winning. He liked to fight and compete. The winning was just the perk. And as his father always said, the one good piece of advice the bastard ever gave him, ‘if you must fight. you must win.’
The knight swung his sword around his head and down, sending his opponent to his knees at the force. Poor lad clearly shaken than by more than just the blow.
“If you’re going to spend the whole day with the dirt, I might as well find a new squire and reassign you to the maids staff.” He berated.
The young man then bolted up, but it clearly wasn’t from his words that got him to his feet so quick. He was looking right through him. Marcus turned to look over his shoulder, resting his sword on the opposite one, as he saw their prince arrive on the training field.
“Your Grace,” the knight drawled with a smirk as he approached, “is there something we can be of assistance with?”
