I put a hand at the shoulder of the lord. I said “My lord, I know I am quite out of the line but I want to try something. Will you allow me?” He just nodded. I walked forward with my most exaggerated voice “Oh great Baron Alfred Herch, this insolent country bumpkins dares to think they are somehow the same as you, as human. My baron, you must show the people how nobles are superior to them in any way possible.” Everybody including Marcus looked at me with wondering eyes. But Alfred with his unending pride bite the bait. He said “Of course, what you are recommending is dirt who knows its place” I said “Oh my Baron, let them know how superior you are to them at noble practices, like horse riding, dancing, reading and swordplay.” He looked at me “How cute, the dirt thinks he can trick me” I changed my face, I got my most disdainful smirk and said “Yes I was trying to trick you you snob. But you are not that dumb, you know your place, and never dare to compete at things you spose to be good.” He drew his sword, his sword was at my neck. Marcus said “His my peasant Herch, if you kill him this will be against the law and believe me king will hear you come to my land and butchered my peasants.” I smirked and laugh “Man, you can even kill a country bumpkin, and you can call yourself a noble” He started shouting “I will kill you you…'' I said to him “You can, We can fight with swords, if I win you win you can kill me. If I win Tom stay here and you never come back for him.” I turned my back, started walking, he was still furious and shouted “Ok, I agree” Marcus gave his sword to me and said “For your sake kid I hope you know what you are doing.” I said to him “Me too my lord”

Herch steped up, he had his stupid sword.That thing was so shiny looked like made from brass. I hoped that thing was a wall ornament and not a real sword. We faced each other and started our attacks. I had no experience with swords but he definitely knew very little. After a few times our swords collided I just used all my real strength and magic strength on his blade. His blade cut in half and my sword was at his neck. I just wanted to push. He was in shock. He screamed “I will kill you, I will kill you!” I draw a few drops of blood. And said to him “If you don’t shut up and f off I - will - kill - you.” He ran to his horse like the coward he is.

Marcus turned at me, he looked sad “Kid, you did great but he will go insane after this, he won’t stop sending people to kill you and they won't hesitate to hurt your family while doing it. I looked at him with steel eyes. This was now personal I said to him “Then I need to kill him first”
