In the whole empire, Josephine was the best. Her sword moves like air, fast and smooth. If it would have been my past i would have been able to win with her. But now chances are low and she knew that. That was why she was enjoying her time here.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, she was playing with me. My heart was doing somersaults in my ribcage, the anticipation was too much.
"Young girl, are you not going to attack?" she asked with a smirk, knowing well my thought process.
I took a deep breath as I attacked again, but her sword was already ready to defend. She turned to parry, but I pushed hard and we both went two steps back. This time she moved.
As she brought her sword towards me, I used plenty of force to block her attack and launched my own attack in one swift move. I held my sword in such a way that I could effectively block her attack while hitting her with my sword at the same time.
