A day had passed since Renard's battles with Nessia and Lavinia. Now, it was Princess Xenia's and Mary's turn to spar with him.
Truth be told, the princess wanted to spar with Renard one-on-one, but Alex had told her that Mary should fight alongside her.
There was a lesson that he wanted to teach Mr. I-Have-Trust-Issues that would be useful for him in the long run.
When the battle began, Renard didn't hold back and attacked at full power. Princess Xenia's sword blocked his initial blow, but the momentum behind it was no joke.
The princess was forced back several meters and almost lost her balance, having underestimated Renard's strength.
Fortunately, a strike from Mary forced him to dodge before he could follow up and take advantage of Xenia's surprise.
This window of opportunity allowed Princess Xenia to regain her balance and rejoin the fight.
What they didn't know was that Alex was using this opportunity to teach both sides what their weaknesses were.
