Duel I
Stella squinted her eyes after seeing the man approaching her.
She doesn't like him at all… It was one thing to suspect her skills in swordsmanship since she really needed her master's assistance that time, but taking his eyes on her weapon was too much.
She was unsure what this man had seen in her sword but whatever it is, he shouldn't have done that to someone who had helped in saving the villagers.
At the very least, she expected to be thanked due to her actions during that time.
Frank is as taller as her uncle and he currently wears his leather armor together with a spear strapped on his back. She can also see a small blade hanged on his waist. Except for the impressive spear, he's wearing the standard uniform of the guards.
"Stella… I heard that you managed to trick those Knights…" Frank said as he approached the young girl under the tree.
