Dangerous muse

The ones who heard what he said gasped, The guard looked prepared to arrest him or something before the prince spoke,

"And who are you?" Arthur asked,

"Just a swordsman"

"Very well, Here if you beat Robbert I will face you," Arthur decided

"Robbert! Come duel with this man!" He called

A man came out he was wearing a full set of armor, he was tall around 6.3 and was lean, he had determined eyes,

"This one My Lord?" the man asked,

"Yes, And do show him a challenge," Arthur added

"Yes, My Lord," he said,

The man walked to him and got ready, Shawn reached out to the swords he made earlier with intent magic.

He was currently yielding two Razor sharp single edged-blades made of pure diamond, and a beautiful leather wrapped handle with steel guard that had a tree design, The pommel was a large ring-shaped diamond. The other had the same design but instead of diamond it was Tungsten which was fairly light when it should have been extremely heavy...

"Nice Swords, Is that a Crystal of some sort?" the prince asked,

"It is! Much stronger than iron or steel by a longshot!" Shawn said smiling,

"That is impressive! May I?" He asked wanting to try it out,

"Sure here!" Shawn said as he ducked a slash from Robert, who then flipped the sword and caught the blade and passed it while parring an overhead slash,

Turning to his Duel he slashed down to Roberts sword hitting the base, before hitting his hand and extracting the sword,

"It seems the match is over..." Arthur laughed, "This sword is quite remarkable! where did you get it?" He laughed as he gazed at it in awe, before handing it back to him,

"A friend in the far east, Who is a master craftsman, Pretty awesome right?" Shawn said as he handed the sword back to the Robbert person,

"Quite! well here, as promised I'll face you now! What weapon would you like?"

"Use whatever you like!" Shawn answered,

Arthur pulled a beautiful longsword and rolled it in his hand before getting int a ready stance,

"Are you ready?" he asked

"Let's have some fun!" Shawn smiled before raising the swords his own ready position,

The Prince struck first going for a diagonal slash and being stopped short by Shawn's sword, Shawn did his own slash but was blocked with his shield, Shawn threw a kick and slashed with the but of his sword which he barely dodged, Regaining his balance he readied himself and waited for the next blow,

Shawn waited for him and threw another slash when he had gotten ready Arthur parried but Shawn was already throwing another slash with his other sword,

Arthur raised his shield but nothing happened then his hand was in pain and his sword was on the ground and had a blade at his throat,

"instant loss... That is the first time I have lost so badly! What's your name Swordsman?" The Prince asked,

"For your first loss your taking it rather well, And my name is Shawn M Sheppard, I recently moved into the castle let me know if you ever want any pointers," Shawn said laughing,

"Well I always head into a battle with the courage to win but the respect to lose, there is no shame in losing to someone better than you, just means there's more to learn!" Arthur explained holding out his hand,

Shaking his hand he smiled,

"That's a good mindset, I'm sure you can be quite a swordsman one day soon, Find me if you want to further that talent," Shawn said,

"I might just do that!" Arthur laughed, "We'll be having a small festival tomorrow I would like to invite you to join as a friend of the prince," Arther smiled decidedly,

"I would be honored! Is there really such a title?" Shawn asked bemused,

"Ha, There is now!" He laughed

"Very well I'll look forward to it, Shall we go again?"Shawn asked,

"Yeah," Arthur agreed, readying his sword and stance,

They had another match in which Arthur used two swords instead of a sword and shield, He lasted longer as Shawn wanted it to and ultimately he lost with Shawn on top,

"How are you so good!" he asked as Shawn helped him from the floor, Eastern Style... very adaptive and fluid, In the East we have what we call Dojos and sect's or schools, in which you have a sensei however I trained under a 'Zhu Sho lin' (AN- NOT REAL, its made up I'm too lazy to find out any real stuff) which means 'Single Master', One who teaches only one student at a time, I had a 'Zhu Sho lin' and learned a lot, a Sensei not only teaches combat but life as well, They are our elders, They are some of the people we respect the most,

"That's... Amazing, I hope to see it one day," Arthur said,

"for now It seems you have many responsibilities, I plan to stick around for a while who knows maybe I'll actually offer discipleship if you impress me!" Shawn laughed,

"ha, sounds interesting, I'll see you soon I hope?"

"you can plan on it, little Prince" Shawn said before heading to his room,

Once at his floor, he asked the Floor servant to bring some dinner, and wine to his room.

At the desk in his room, He asked his system,

"So what are my stats?"

[Stats is temporarily under construction...]

[Host may I ask if you really learned swordsmanship in the east?]

"Indeed I did, First 20 years of my previous life before I was an American"

(AN - Boom! Bet you didn't think he grew up in China!)
