Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov

"So is it final that you are going to live in the palace after taking oath as a knight" asked Noah, as i shot one more arrow on the aim.

"Yes, I think so. His majesty had personally requested me and my father to let me stay there until the academy starts. After this week's entrance test, the academy will take a month to start. So, in the meantime i would serve from there.`` I replied, looking at his expressions. He was looking a bit disturbed by the idea.

"But if you want you can accompany me there." I added, once he nodded in understanding.

"Why would I do that?" he asked, tilting his head.

"I thought you want to continue training me further. I still need to learn a few things. If you did not mind. I can ask for both of us appointments in the royal palace. Even my father would be more relaxed if you were there. But i did not know whether you can handle this or not.'' I added as I knew that he did not like the royal palace or the people living there for some reason.

He stayed silent and when I felt that he did not reply anymore and started concentrating on the aim again, he finally said, "I will think about it." I just nodded my head as he gave one last look to my arrows that had hit the bullseye and then turned and left. 

I just shook my head. It would have been better if he could come, since I would need a few allies there. If Noah would be there, I would feel secure.

How much time had passed when my quiver did not have any arrow left. I looked at the aim and it was full of arrows. 

I put the quiver on the table and then sat on the chair. Only then did I feel pain in my back. As if it was breaking apart. I looked at the sky that was already filled with stars and smiled.

I was one step closer to make William or Josephine the ruler and then end the story of Gerard.

As I walked towards my chamber, there was a smile on my face. Tonight will be a peaceful night.

---------------

In the morning when I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was to check the jewel Isabella was making last night. I hurried towards her chamber when I saw that she was still sleeping peacefully. I sighed as I looked at the red sky. It must be too early for her to be awake. With a sigh, I walked towards the ground and started training.

Sir Seymour passed me a warm smile, "it felt so good to see you back, sir Abigail." 

"I apologise for not being here, sir Seymour. Shall we start the training?" he smiled and nodded again as he moved his sword and trained us further.

This time it was once again I was learning alone. I think their desire to follow me around died these days. 

"Put more pressure, sir Abigail"

"Yes, lose your body a bit. You need to relax." he continued guiding me as we practiced.

This time we were sparing so that he could see how much I have picked up while I fight.

"That was a wonderful match" he praised as he disarmed me.

"It took all my energy and even in the end, I was not sure if I would win!" he replied with a chuckle.

"That is your kindness, Sri Seymour. I still need to learn a lot." I thanked the kind man who always gave me a warm smile.

"Then i will see you tomorrow, sir Abigail and the day after tomorrow i will take spar with you again to see the improvement.'' I nodded as he bowed his head a bit and then left.

I walked to see that Jane and other knights that were taking training from Noah were still running laps while he was sitting there carefully noticing them.

"Shall I run too?" I asked and finally his eyes moved to me. 

"You are already full of sweat due to sword practice. I did not think that you need running. Go and take your sword, we both are going to spar in a while.'' I nodded as I took out my word and took my stance. 

He stood up from his seat and tilted his head. Then he cracked his knuckles and looked at me. Why did it feel like he was taking some kind of revenge!?

Once he stood in front of me. I took my stance and then without even a single word, he attacked me. The attraction was deadly; it was done straight at my chest.

My eyes widened as I took two steps back.

"What were you trying to do?" i asked exasperated, but instead of replying he attacked again. 

His attacks were getting deadlier and stronger. As if he just wanted to kill me then and there. I was having a hard time winning with him. Since as a man he was definitely stronger and he was using the tricks, he did not have taught me yet. Though many of them were familiar due to my past life, it was still hazy.

I blocked another attack when he tried to slash my neck.

"Noah, I would be dead this way!!!!!!" I shouted as he mercilessly took the sword back and then aimed at my back. 

I jerked and then moved towards the other side and then aimed at his neck. He just smirked as he easily blocked my attack.

"You still are weak and pathetic.?" I fumed at his mockery. He was trying to scare me for sparring but I still did not understand the reason.

"Alright, i am weak. i give up" i said, raising my hand in the air and throwing the sword on the ground, his pupil constricted looking at my action. And then he shook his head.

"You are still not strong enough to live alone. The answer to your question of last night is yes"
