the next day the tournament started
King Aerys sat at the top, below was Tywin Lannister and other nobles.
Augustus did not participate in the archery and riding tournament, but he was in the sword tournament.
this came as a surprise to everyone, although there were rumors of the skill, he was still 11 years old and the spade tournament has no age limit
Tywin was quiet, but internally he was anxious, he wanted to brag about his son
as the Lannister family was hosting, someone from his family would start the first fight, Augustus decided to go, he wants to make it clear that he cannot be underestimated
he wore beautiful white light armor, a golden lion emblazoned on the armor's banner
"light armor? Tywin do you want your son to die?" King Aerys mocked
Augustus didn't wear heavy steel knight armor, after all he didn't have the physical strength to do so.
Augustus' opponent came out, everyone sighed for the young lion's misfortune, his opponent was Jason Mallister
Jason Mallister a well-known and strong noble knight of House Mallister
Strong Jason was clad in steel plate armor, he looked up and saw little Augustus holding a thin sword.
he was not happy, beating a child has no honor
"start" the judge shouted
Jason walked, he wanted to get this over with, but...suddenly he saw a shadow passing by his eyes
Augusto like a leopard disappeared from the spot, using his speed he was already under Jason
Jason used his warrior instinct to try to defend himself, but it was slow.
Augustus' thin sword penetrated the small hole in the armor located in the knee, this hole existed to allow the knight's locomotion
steel plate armor is one of the greatest military inventions, simply almost impenetrable ...... almost
Jason felt the deep pain, so he fell to his knees on the ground and before he could react, he saw the face of death.... that small and thin sword deeply pointed at his eye
during Jason's downfall, Augustus put his sword through the hole in his helmet, he now controlled Jason's life and death.
Jason sounded deep, even on the battlefield he never felt death so close.
"I.....I SURRENDER" Jason yelled
Jason's scream woke the crowd from their astonishment.
Augustus won the fight in 10 seconds
Tywin gave a quick smile before turning cold again.
Ser Barristan Selmy, already with white hair, looked in awe, in his life he had never seen anyone so fast.
even Ser Arthur Dayne was surprised, in his mind he already began to think of ways of defense.
Rhaegar Targaryen looked at Augustus in wonder, his long blond hair and his stance of strength made him think malicious thoughts, his face turned red.
old King Aerys finally shut up
Augustus took the sword from Jason's face and smiled, and then spoke.
"Ser Jason, don't worry, I didn't hit the femoral nerve in your knee, with rest and medicine you'll fight again" Augustus said then put his sword away and left the arena
Jason finally sighed again, he looked at the small back of Augustus and gave his true respect
Jason's squires entered and helped him out of the arena.
noble Mallister left with his head held high, he felt no shame at defeat, for he knew that Augustus would soon be famous across the continent.
