Hey here is chapter four, i know its kind of short but i could not think of much to say...anyway please review.
The next day I went through the same schedule, wake up way before dawn, go through exercises, bath, dress, then go help the princess then breakfast. I then went out and lead the Treens through warm-ups under the oh so watchful eyes of Lord Wyldon.
Today I was wearing my green fighting outfit that consisted of a green kimono top and a green fighting skirt. I decided to wear the skirt just to see Lord Wyldon's reaction and of course when he saw me a frown went right onto his face.
I was walking with the Treens to where Lord Wyldons group was when I hear the unmistakable grunt of Orello, one of the most annoying Yamani Treens who just loved to complain and tease me. He is kind of like Joren if you really think about of it.
"Well boys" Orello said as we walked "looks like today we have a little girl to take care of us."
I whirled around "Is that a challenge?" I asked raising my eyebrow. I haven't had a real fight in a while.
"Yes it is." He replied coolly "There is no way you can beat me in a fighting skirt, and your just a small little girl."
This was when Lord Wyldon stepped in, "I do believe it is a Yamani custom to always accept a challenge. Why don't we go over to the practice courts so that everyone can watch."
"Fine by me" I said getting excited I glared at the smug look on his face he looks like he thinks I'm going to lose. "To make it easier on you we won't have any weapons just hand to hand combat."
I waked to the pratice courts with the Treens behind me, or at least the ones who supported me. Once we got to the courts i turned to Flad, one of my good friends and started handing him my weapons.
First my swords, then my suskens. I then started to take off all my daggers and knives. Orello who had already finished taking off of his weapons was watching me along with all of the Treens, Squires a few knights and quite a few of the Kings Own.
I recognised a few of the knights, Raoul, and Garath the younger. I think that they were amazed that I was still taking off knives, so far I had removed about 13. I took off about four more and stepped into the ring. What the people watching didnt know was that I still had about six more knives hidden.
The challenge started and went smoothly i could tell that Orello thought too much of himself and that was his downfall. Within five minutes from the starting point i had Orello pined to the ground face first. When I got up I saw a women with purple eyes watching me. I almost gasped this was the lioness, I caught myself just in time and kept my face Yamani straight. When I was about to step outside of the ring another Treen steped forward and challenged me.
About three hours later i had beaten all of the Treens AND Squires. You could see Lord Wyldon looked ready to explode. And of course Master Helo just had to make it worse, he had come in when I was still fighting the Treens.
"Well I guess girls are better than you thought they were huh?" Master Helo said "She's only fifteen and she's beating your twenty year olds." Master Helo continued referring to Neal seeing as he was the only twenty year old that I had beaten that day.
I rolled my eyes and asked: "Can I have my knives back or does someone else who wants to have ago?". A few people went wide eyed while some people backed away still nursing injuries I had given them.
I smirked and was about to walk away when i felt someone grab me from behind. The person started to pull my hair and that was when my instincts kicked in. I did a twisting kick while flipping the person over me. I pulled one of my hair pins out that had a two inch blade on the end while still wrestling with the person I managed to pull him up and slide the blade against his throat. I never give up all of my knives.
I heard several gasps but ignored them. I pulled the person white blond head up so that everyone could see his face.
"I thought we were allies here?" Master Helo said "And it is not right for member of the same group to attack others in it without announcing a challenge."
"Don't even bother" I told Master Helo while putting my hair pin back i place. I looked down at Jeorn who was now on the floor. "Don't sneak up on me again because I always have at least one knife on me and next time my hand might just slip."
As I walked back to the Yamani Treens I heard a lot of whispers from the Knights and the kings own. I heard quite a lot of "She should have been a knight."
I sighed as I put my knifes back on. Only four more days until my identity is revealed.
