Villain Princess.

Aurora looked at William and saw that he was telling the truth.

The two brothers were competing for the same position and since William’s older brother was better, then it was only right for him to be the one to have it. William chose a completely different path and fight for his own future. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Tomorrow morning, come with me to train. I would like to see your ability," Aurora said.

William was stunned. He looked at Aurora doubtfully. "Miss...?"

"William, Miss Aurora is also learning how to use swords, but she had only started for half a year, so you should be careful." Be careful not to hurt her.

The last sentence was naturally not said out loud to save face for Aurora, but William understood what his father meant. He could only agree helplessly with this arrangement.

After watching the training for a few more minutes, Aurora went back inside for her study. There were still many things for her to study.

...

The next day, Aurora went to train with the female knight and William was already there. He has been training for a long time and naturally have a strong sense of time and discipline.

Since Aurora had told him to come, he would come early.

"You’re early." Aurora nodded.

"Yes, Miss."

"I’ll warm up first and then we’ll have a spar."

William nodded and practiced on his own as he noticed Aurora running and warming up. Looking at her movement, she was indeed not very standard, but it was still much better than novice who couldn’t even hold a sword properly.

It seemed that his father was right.

Miss Aurora was also training properly and didn’t only do this on a whim. Then again, with how busy Aurora was, it was impossible for her to train carelessly.

Her future depended on her own study and training at this time.

Soon, the warm up was done and the two of them stood in front of each other, ready to fight.

"Ready?" The female knight asked and then said, "Start!"

Swish!

Aurora made the first move and her wooden sword reached William very quickly. Because they were training and Aurora was also still very young, the weapon she used was naturally wooden sword. As for William, he naturally matched the training sword so as not to injure Aurora accidentally.

Being hit by a metal sword is different with being hit by a wooden sword.

Tak!

The sword was blocked and William estimated Aurora’s strength through this attack. It was not very strong, but it was still quite good.

With that, he was prepared to counterattack.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

The two of them exchanged sword moves one after another. It seemed as if they wanted to hurt the other party but in truth, it seemed that they were only sparring and trying their moves.

At least, that was how it was for Aurora.

Tak!

With one last blow, Aurora then stepped back a few times and took a deep breath. Her breathing had already turned ragged and it was hard for her to continue.

Looking at William who still looked much better, Aurora smiled faintly.

"I lost in this spar."

"Miss Aurora..." William was a bit uneasy and was worried that Aurora would not take the loss lightly. After all, he had heard his brother heard that there were some nobles who disliked losing to commoners.

He was technically still the son of a noble, but after he become an adult later, he would have to leave his house.

"I know my capabilities well and it’s definitely not a match against you," Aurora stopped William before he said anything. "What do you think of the spar, Apprentice Knight William?"

William was silent for a moment before he said, "In terms of power, Miss Aurora is still lacking. The moves are good, but the reaction speed is a bit slow."

He could see that Aurora was targeting the opening of him when they were sparring. But the problem was that Aurora’s speed was not fast enough, so she was unable to truly hit him and took full advantage of that opening.

Aurora heard William’s words and nodded. "It means that my training is lacking."

Even if Aurora had no plan to become a full fledge knight, but she believed it would be useful for her to have the necessary skill to protect herself.

Because if she had no ability to protect herself, she could be easily targeted by people who have bad intention to the Duke White’s Family.

William didn’t answer.

He couldn’t answer that question.

"Apprentice Knight William, what do you think about a personal knight?" Aurora asked.

William was stunned.

He seemed to have guessed that the reason why Aurora asked him to spar with her here was because she wanted to ask this question to him.
