At that moment, some imperial guards appeared from the surroundings . I already knew they were here thanks to Akashic Sight, but I still showed a surprised expression to feign ignorance .
"Imperial guards?"
"Hehe, don't worry, prince, they only came to observe the fight . "
I frowned deeply and looked at sir Raul in rage . But he just smirked and waved her wooden sword carelessly . "Are we going to start?"
I nodded and lowered my stance . I then turned briefly towards Daisy and smiled reassuringly .
Daisy smiled back, but it was obvious from her expression that she was really worried .
"I don't want to bully the prince, so I'll restrict my mana at your level . I think things are fair like that, right?" The captain grinned mockingly .
I showed a confident expression and nodded . Then, I circulated my fourth-layer mana through my body .
In this world, cultivation is divided into magic and martial arts, and there are twelve layers for each one . I was considered above average with my beginner fourth-layer at the age of eighteen, but it was very far from the eighth layer of the captain .
In the empire, the first prince is known as a great genius for reaching the sixth layer at twenty-one, on the other hand, my sister Dina is at the fifth layer at 19 .
Because of that, my level is considered pretty average between my siblings . Although reaching the fourth layer at eighteen is considered pretty good in general, it's a bad result for a prince .
Moreover, Lena is in the fourth layer too, and she is only fifteen .
Bryan is way worse than me, though . He is just in the first layer despite being twenty, but everybody knows that he is a trash, so nobody finds it strange .
Of course, though my magic is not so good, I'm also considered a bit of a genius . I'm called sword fanatic in the empire, and even the best sword instructor admitted that he cannot teach me swordsmanship .
Unfortunately, that is nothing compared to my siblings .
At that moment, I heard the captain speak .
"Very well, Here I go!" He shouted and thrusted his sword forward .
His body accelerated fiercely, and in seconds, his sword was already before me . I could see a smile of confidence in his face . Apparently, he planned to strike down me with the first attack .
However, he was going to be disappointed .
I waited until one second before the sword touched my chest, and sidestepped to evade the attack narrowly .
Then, I moved my sword leisurely and cut towards his arm .
The captain smirked seeing the slow movement of my sword, but when he tried to avoid it, he noticed that the sword continued following him . The tip of the sword approached slowly towards his wrist .
The captain put on a flustered expression and moved his sword to block my attack, but I moved my wrist slightly and bypassed his defenses with a small movement . Then, my sword cut towards his chest .
The captain could only open his eyes wide seeing my elegant movement .
But before the sword could touch his chest, he shouted .
"Arrgghhhg!"
Instantly, his speed doubled .
The captain stepped backward frantically and evaded the attack . He was looking at me with an ugly expression and sweating profusely, but I simply frowned .
Currently, the captain's strength was the equivalent of someone in the fifth layer of mana .
The surroundings were completely silent . Nobody could believe that I forced the captain to retreat, moreover, he only evaded the attack because he used a greater layer of mana than me .
After all, though I was known as a sword fanatic, that title was something I acquired after my instructors of magic said that they did not have something else to teach me . But the captain was an experimented eighth layer swordsman . Even if he suppresses his strength to my level, his experience should be more than enough to beat me .
"Fuu . " Daisy sighed in relief and stepped forward to interrupt the awkward situation .
But suddenly, the captain attacked again .
"Arrrrgggggghhhh!" With an expression of rage, he wielded his sword fiercely and stabbed towards my shoulder . Furthermore, he was using strength equivalent to the fifth layer .
I showed a surprised expression purposefully and avoid the attack awkwardly, but the captain attacked again . I could hear the nervous whispers of the guards in the surroundings . It's obvious that they knew that things were going south .
After all, the captain was clearly enraged . And though I'm out of favor with the emperor, I'm after all a prince . If something happens to me, their heads will roll .
But before they could step forward, I counterattacked .
Taking advantage of the captain's rage, I circled towards his right and extended my foot . The captain was unable to avoid my foot and fell to the ground embarrassingly
"Stop it, sir Raul . " I said with an expression of indifference to agitate his emotions . "It's unbecoming . "
When the captain heard those words, he completely lost his mind .
It was a humiliation . A humiliation in front of his subordinates and under the gaze of the queen!
So, instead of calming down, he was even more enraged .
His mana surged, and his speed increased drastically again . Some of the soldiers and Daisy only saw a blur and his sword was already in front of me .
I put on a pale expression and retreated frantically . My sword moved in a fluster trying to stop his attacks . It seemed that I was about to fall under the sixth layer's attacks .
The captain grinned sadistically . He stared at my flustered expression in glee and swung his sword with suppressing his strength .
But when it seemed as though I could not endure anymore, I suddenly disappeared .
My speed did not increase, and my strength was the same as before . I simply took advantage of his speed to move towards his blind spot and disappear from his sight .
At the next instant, my sword touched his back .
The captain froze completely . Even the soldiers expecting the fight were looking at me with pale expressions and sweat in their backs .
As for me, I was panting with a smile of victory .
I was truly smiling . Not only because I humiliated the captain, but also because Akashic Sight noticed something interesting . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Smirking in my mind, I moved my lips .
"It's my win . "
Instantly, the captain moved .
He suddenly increased his strength at the seventh layer and turned around before punching my chest . I feigned a surprised expression and put my sword in front of me to block the attack . But despite it, the attack sent me flying towards the wall .
"Your highness!" Daisy shouted in panic and ran towards me .
The captain was still enraged . He was not content with only hitting me once, but when he was about to rush towards me, someone appeared in the courtyard .
