Avner went as fast as he could to his room to change, he searched for some clothes that would work for the training the only ones that would fit and wouldnt look strange were the hunting clothes used by the lords in the hunting trips they do, not that they do any hunting they just shoot animals that thir attendants trapped or snarred for them, and for the most time they drink.

Avner: These will work for now but I have to get a tailor to make me some clothes that would work for training, these are a little too much, but I have to get going now.

Avner left his quarters and got to the garden as fast as possible because he didnt want to make Roland wait, but Roland was already there he had Sebastian and Gill setup a small trining ground for you!

Roland: Lord may I say those clothes look beautiful!

Avner: You say? They are a little too much for me, but thank you.

Roland: It’s my pleasure to be your trainer today Sir?

Avner: The pleasure is mine, I am ready Roland!

Roland: My lord I brought the swords and the dummies!

Avner: Excellent! So where do we start?

Roland: First we need to warm up, so we will do some stretching exercises.

Avner: Ok!

After the stretching exercises.

Roland: Now we will start with the basics of swordsmanship, we will start with the grip, there are three ways to grip a sword, one is the standard grip, the other is the reverse grip, and the third is the half-reverse grip.

Avner: Ok so how do I grip the sword?

Roland: For the standard grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade, and for the reverse grip you need to do the opposite you hold the sword in your left hand and put your right hand on the back of the blade.

Avner: Ok so for the half-reverse grip?

Roland: For the half-reverse grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade but reverse the grip so that the blade is pointing downwards.

Avner: Ok so now what?

Roland: Now we need to practice some swings, so that you can get used to the weight of the sword.

Avner: Ok so how do I swing the sword?

Roland: For the standard grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade, and for the reverse grip you need to do the opposite you hold the sword in your left hand and put your right hand on the back of the blade.

Roland: For the horizontal swing, you need to hold the sword in your right hand and swing it from right to left, and for the vertical swing, you need to hold the sword in your right hand and swing it from top to bottom.

And so they trained, and slowly a crowd built up looking at their lord exercising, they can't believe that their grumpy lord trains and is polite with an attendant.In the meantime Christina and Maria reached the church and the guards started unloading the lords gifts for the poor.
