"What the hell are u saying right now"
" I am saying we get engaged u get freedom while u help me free slaves with ur idea and will take down corrupt nobles e.t.c"
"Now listen her ur plan is to get engaged to a illegitimate child for help until I can leave and live on my own"
"Yes beneficial for the both of us"
As she said that the party came to an end which she said to me
"Well we will discuss this more on a later date I'll send the invitation to u some day"
As she left I was left just staring of in the distance till my mother said
"Come on baby we need to go back now"
Which I complied and followed her and for the next days I was still processing what happened
Timeskip 1 week
It's been a week since that proposal happened and she hasn't sent a letter now so I guess she said it in the moment my train of thought by a maid delivering news
"Young master u have a letter that arrived late as it came from a far away place"
Fuck this is it
"Ok leave it there I'll read it"
As she put it down and left and u made sure that she was far I opened the letter and my fears came true she actually sent the letter
"Well I guess now I'm shackled with nobility"
After reading the letter I went to my mother and showed her letter then she asked me what the matter she wants to talk about is and I answered
"Well during the party we got to know each other and now she wants to be engaged so she has more freedom to achieve her goals"
As I finished my answer my mother looked at me with a smirk and said "sure ur only getting engaged to this very pretty girl"
I turned beet red at her teasing and just rushed out and told the servants to prepare a carriage so I can go and discuss this
2 days later
Well now I reached there house I can say that they are powerful and rich nobles as their mansion towers up with it walls that shine pretty sure their made out of marble well here goes nothing
"Open the gates"
A guard shouted as our carriage started to arrive after reaching there and entering inside I asked where Nari is and they said
"The young lady is training right now and she does not like to be interrupted"
"Ok then let's go see her and how she trains shall we"
Butler pov
As this child entered he asked about the whereabouts of the young lady and since I couldn't believe that someone said what she told even if they where a illegitimate so I told him the truth and what I didn't expect is him saying
"Well let's go see how she trains shall we"
So he plans to keep the act up well let's see how long u will keep the act up shall we
"Of course follow me"
Menma pov
As we walk towards I can see and feel the stares of the servants bait the kind that say what the hell is he doing here but the kind that say when will u drop the act of not caring will whatever I guess a while later we finally reached the training room and to say the least is that I was impressed by how beautiful her swordsmanship is I mean it just flows like water has the elegance of the queen and is just shining
Butler pov
As we reached I was ready to hear him realize that the rumors are true but he just stood there and watched no disgust or anything just pure admiration and excitement which made me believe he really was the one but it soon turned into to disgust so he is like everyone else
Menma pov
It was beautiful but I snapped out of my trance when I heard some knights talk shit that this was a beginner level and saying a lady should be sitting in the house I bet I a had a look of disgust since the butler looked at me with disappointment so I started walking towards the knights I don't care if this will show disrespect but I am doing it
Butler pov
He was walking to her probably about to tell her to stop this and act like a lady but he just went and grabbed a practice sword was he planning on hitting the young lady the knights that we had make them act started to stand then the next thing we know is he dashed straight at the young lady we were shocked at what he did next
Menam pov
I grabbed a practice sword and used mana to rush her she realized what my plan was and complied next thing u know we were sparing and I swear that she is amazing with a sword way better then my instructor then all I know is letting loose and enjoying the spar
Third person pov
As Menma rushed the young lady and they started sparing looks of shock can be seen on the faces of the people present as sparing with someone is acknowledging them and a swordsman and that was not all as they clash blades everybody can't help but to think how is a battle supposed to look beautiful elegant and with no flaws as their blades flow like water and clash like waves every move is met with a counter and for the first time they see the impossible the young lady smiling as the man smiles as their excitement can be seen on their faces and the the ones with mana can feel the mana also being used to a terrifying degree as they wonder how strong can those 2 be together and how they can be so similar
After the spar
Menma pov
*pant**pant* "gotta say u are really good with the sword and mana"
"I can say the same thing about u no one has every tired me like that" she replied to me we had been sparing for atelier an hour and man she is amazing in fighting who cares if she is a woman this deserve the respect of many
"Ahem could I know why u rushed the young lady out of nowhere as it could have been dangerous" the butler speaker from behind me
"Well the knights there were being disrespectful and insulting someone's swordsmanship just because of gender and well I can't stand that someone with amazing swordsmanship is being disrespected that's really the reason and I knew she would pick up on my intent and u really should not disrespect it even and a way of testing me that is not how we swordsmen work"
Butler pov
I can't believe it he knew it was a trick yet he still wanted to prove them wrong just because he admires her swordsmanship I guess what the young lady said is true as he does what he wants and doesn't let the world decide who he is the two of them are bound to make changes big ones I just hope both will be together when they do these changes"
