Chapter 7 - Sword Hero (1)

"Lady Claire, you looked lovely today. Did you have a good sleep last night?"

A boy in a school uniform greeted a girl as soon as he spotted her walking past the training ground where he was at. 

"Ah, Lord Henry. It was pleasant to see you and yes I did have a good sleep last night."

The girl who appeared to be Claire replied to Henry with a lovely smile. 

"Might if I asked where you were heading too ?" 

"Ahh, I was on my way to meet the princess at the courtyard to have some tea."

"Ah, I see. You seemed more lively compared to a week ago."

".. Umm .. Yes Lord Henry. It was all thanks to you that my engagement with Lord Winston has been broken off."

Upon saying that Claire bowed and thanked Henry deeply. 

"Winston was a rude and arrogant man, he had no place to be with someone charming and kind like you, Lady Claire."

"Umm .. You flattered me too much, Lord Henry. "

Claire blushed when she heard Henry praising her. 

"No, it's true. Moreover, because your engagement was called off. I heard that our engagement will soon be spread to the public."

"Ahh … I haven't heard about it yet but I'm so glad that it was you, Lord Henry. My savior."

Claire's face became red like a peach, she was a bit timid and flattered at the same time when she heard about this news. 

"I would love to chat with you more Lord Henry but the princess was waiting for me, I will take my leave Lord Henry."

"Ahh don't worry about it Lady Claire, we will meet soon. Bye then"

After saying that Claire continued her pace and headed to the courtyard. 

Henry returned to his training ground and held his "Holy Sword". 

"HAHAHAHA that scum face is still funny till this day. He lost his fiance during the duel and got disowned by his family. What a splendid sight. Now I have Claire and soon the princess will be mine too. Ahahahahhaaa" 

Henry muttered and laughed out loud alone in the traning field while swinging his sword. 

The story took place about a week ago when the noble family's children came to the royal church to receive their Class. 

Winston Harrington appeared to be a rude and impolite young man. He grew up in the Harrington household, his father Richard Harrington was a duke and also the most influential and fearful general of The Joustra of Dynasty. He had 3 children but only Winston was a boy. In order to keep the family line and social standing strong in the country, Winston the only son was instructed harshly by his father to only train and work hard ever since he was a kid. 

When he reached the age of 16, Winston began to go out and duel with other swordsmen across the country as his father instructed. During that time, Winston began to act arrogant and wild after he won a sword duel from one place to another place and was living on his own for a year. He started to drink alcohol, causing trouble and engaged with women whoever he met. 

He was well known as the strongest, rudest, wildest and youngest swordsman in the kingdom. When his father heard about this news, Winston was asked to return home and enrolled to the most prestigious and respected academy that only noble's blood can enroll into. 

Later on, there was also an announcement that declared in public about his engagement with Lady Claire that was approved by both families. 

Claire Grey, the daughter of the Grey household who was the same age as him. Her father was Edward Grey, the prime minister of the country. He was a good friend with Winston's father. Their engagement was solely focused on strengthening the family lineage and empowering both family's social status in the country. 

However, after a week into the academy. Winston neglected his role as a fiance, began to hang out with other girls and fought with other students. He caused trouble day to day until the day that he was receiving a Class. 

"NO CLASS !!! What the hell old man, check again ??"

Winston shouted out and asked the priest to redo the ritual as he didn't get a class. 

"HERO ! It's a SWORD HERO. We finally have a "Hero" class which is proficient in "Sword". Everyone our Sword Hero, Lord Henry" 

Another priest announced an outstanding news to everyone in the royal church when Lord Henry received this amazing blessing. 

"What is going on, why is that idiot !!"

Winston muttered to himself in despair.
