The Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian

7 Chapter 6 - Exercising Abilities 3

The horse and I run along the arrays, brandishing daggers on visible and hidden target boards. It was a smooth ride and my father's horse is really obedient. I doubt they treat it like a person, if animals are treated like mere objects they would likely despise you. An animal has its own feelings, so when I decided to ride this horse I treated it like my person.

When we are running back, I saw my brother along with three princes and a princess. What are they doing here?

The prince on white robes brought his sword and walk towards my direction. I have an inkling feeling that he will ask me to duel with him. What's odd is that I see no expression on his face, but his lucid eyes shows what it wants. I loosened the position of my feet from the stirrups.

The prince did not say anything but he dashed forward in great speed. I withdraw my hold of the reins as his scabbard unleashed his mighty imperial sword. I moved my legs and stood on the horse. His sword thrash the air as he covered the distance between us. I did a back flip on the air and landed near the standing soldiers.

The prince positioned his body in a fighting stance. And in a blink of the eye he moved to chase after me. So I grabbed two swords from the waistband of the soldiers standing near me. I doubt I'll win against him using one sword, might as well try my luck with double blades.

He stood back, so I took the opportunity to run forward. I flipped on the air once more and landed behind him, the swords that I am using lack strength so it is far incomparable to his majestic one. I strike down using one sword, and the other is readying to take cover. Both of us are silent as we exchange blows or dodge heavy and powerful attacks.

His strikes were accurate and merciless. One wrong move from me will make me bleed. I keep on advancing two paces at a time, so the both of us look like rehearsing a sword dance. When I was young my father taught me of dancing techniques in martial arts, Capoeira is one of the best types. It is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. It is known for its acrobatic and complex maneuvers, often involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks.

I am using a combination of footwork and hand techniques without using kicks or punches, but actually applying fencing swordsmanship. His highness could still catch up with my modern techniques. I can scheme against his attacks but there are too many eyes watching, if I really injured the prince the palace will punish me.

So I need to have a sparring match with him instead of wounding up each other. His stamina is great so I need to end this quickly. I triple the pace of wielding the swords at hand and deliver higher intensity blows.
