Slash, thrust, direct pull, parade. The clash of swords and shields between them could be heard up to higher tiers of the arena, the people were kidnapped by the deadly dance of the two men who were fighting, there was un'osannazione for one or the 'else, just make her go forward and not to surrender.
West hit hard, Frey had to admit, did not allow a breathing space to the prince, the captain of the guards was very agile and responsive to legs, faster than the heir of the kingdom of Irrfad, thanks to its capacity was slightly ahead of his opponent. Frey, by contrast, had a good defense even though it was slower, his shield could better resist the attacks of the West.
The meeting had already lasted a quarter of an hour, the two contenders were visibly tired, they had to put an end as soon as the attacks grew more slowly, seemed heavier swords, the arms no longer hold the shields.
His Majesty noticed it had never happened before that the king grant an pauses during a fight, but for that occasion Gothan King decided to make an exception.
"Your Majesty, you have to terminate the encounter, the prince could get hurt if this continues! "Asked the princess, Utena.
"I'm sorry my dear, if you declare the conflict ended ferirei pride is my son is the captain of the guards, they are also curious to see how far they can reach, even I do not want to end. 'King denied Gothan.
Katona glanced sideways at his father, he wondered what he had in mind, he had invited West to participate in the tournament at all, it was almost sure, but then what was the reason? He could not ask him directly, it could not obtain that information from His best friend, the two challengers were again taking place.
West walked around the prince, who stood motionless at the center of defense in place, the captain of the guard was moving slowly, watching carefully studied his opponent and elaborated moves and strategies to be able to land.
noc Savhr Frey did not dare move, one wrong move and the West would attack, he did not believe that this young man was so strong during the military campaign had met and had clashed with dozens of fighters, but at that moment no one seemed to live up to the one before him. Now he understood why he had become captain so young.
The prince had a chance to win, distracted West and bring it down accordingly, but how could he fall to his attention? Perhaps if he spoke of his sister's West would have lost his temper and it would become easier to beat an opponent; c'avrebbe not put my hand on fire, but the verbal confrontation was the only solution he had.
"I have never dishonored your sister. "
" Oh, really? In my opinion, but you did before you took her power and then deserted her. "
" I could not do otherwise, I was already committed when we met. "
" This does not I was induced to give up. "
Frey yearns to conficare his sword into the belly of the opponent, as he dared to tell him certain things, dared him, this simple captain, who knew nothing of the sufferings of the inner Prince.
"You have no right to talk like that! You know nothing at West Denio, you do not know what it means to have a life already planned by others. "
" Esta I just know that you loved and you have to put aside once I was not useless. "
" For all the gods! Do you really think that if I could I would have behaved like that? Do you really think that if I were a free man I would not have married her? Of course I would have married, I would have married at once!
She is the only woman I want, yes, I am married and my wife loves me, but it will never make me happy as Esta. "
West remained silent.
He raised the tip of his sword to the prince a moment and then snapped instantly.
He took a couple of blows that Frey rejected strongly, then the stores, hit the shield, parades, and the fight was back to being furious as before, gave no respite, crossed swords until the spring by two sparks blades, neither was willing to surrender.
Princess Utena frantically stroked his belly just said, the father of her son was brutally fighting, not like the other meetings, once again begged his Majesty to cease all but the king denied him again.
"Do not worry, my brother he would manage. »Katona tried to reassure her," It's always been a skilled swordsman. "
The lady ignored the words of the brother and returned to follow the fight.
"It looks like a fight to the death, in your opinion who is more likely to win? "Asked the prince's ear whispering Esta cadet.
"I have no idea, both are very good, the West has benefited from having more years of Frey who, in turn, has benefited from the experience gained during the battle of the Skeletons in the Desert. "Katon said puzzled.
"Right now they are equal. "Remarked the woman.
"Yes, for now. I know for a fact that West is much more than what shows. "
" Yes, it was one of the first lessons of our father, who first taught man to leave him something even my brother. "
" So that explains everything. "
Katon remembered the times when he went to visit him in the barracks, West did not usually show his true abilities, he claimed showed that if all his secret weapons has never been unbeatable.
cried Lady Utena, the prince abandoned his cadet remember to focus on the arena, the captain of the guards of the castle had just landed the crown prince, who was without a sword.
The audience was breathless, in those moments it was decided the outcome of the duel.
"If West tip of the sword to the throat of my brother will win."
Re Gothan, Lady Utena, Esta, even Katona, stood up to see West approaching with great strides to the prince.
"They say that after the victory in the desert you will be the glory of the deaths that have inflicted. 'Said the captain, a short distance from Frey, "They also say that you had boasted of the perfect military strategy that you adopted for the occasion. "
" If you have to humiliate me is' what you are defeated, puntami that damn sword to your neck and get it over with. "Said the prince acid spitting on the ground.
"Your father, His Majesty Gothan, sent me to tell you to be more humble in the future. "Unexpectedly
West held out his hand, there was no animosity in him, just a satisfied grin and the usual aura of happiness around him, smiled at the prince.
"I am honored to have fought with you. "West told," You have pointed out, you have all my respect, Prince. "
Frey stood up with help from the West that was giving the people rejoiced and broke into an ovation that had never heard before, King Gothan applauded vigorously, pleased by that struggle, the Princess Utena instead wept tears of joy while Katona Esta sighed and raised.
"I declare, therefore, concluded the first part of this tournament! "Thundered his Majesty with hands outstretched, "Frey, my son, you behaved well, you have fought with honor, your mother would be proud of you.
West, now I understand your strength, I have no doubt that the defense of the castle is in good hands. "
Re Gothan moved away from the royal box, followed by the court, Katona and Esta were waiting for the captain of the guard, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Let him speak, you're completely insane. "Laughed his sister giving him the pat on the shoulder," How did you come to mind to challenge the prince, eh? "
" I certainly could not refuse an order from the king. "West is justified, laughing in his turn.
"My father was impressed, you know? "
" I'm honored. "
Prince cadet and two guards walked on to the rest of the march, the soldiers greeted their captain emphatically, congratulating him. Katona gave
not see, but he was extremely proud of his friend, the only false note was that his fighter had reminded him how little was missing the coming of Ragnarok.
