Vane launched himself at the Prince, who simply with a calculated moves, managed to step aside, rising his knee to hit Vane's abdomen.
Vane just jumped back, the difference in thier fighting style was apparent, The Prince had a good agility, and Longer reach with his sword, Vane was more stronger, but strength wasn't enough to make him win against a cunning opponent.
"I've took a liking to you".
The Prince said before adding while deflecting Vane's downslash, he managed to hit a punch on Vane's side.
Vane stumbled back
"You sure talk alot for a Prince".
The Prince chuckled as his expressions turned serious
"And you're quiet for a Pirate"
The Prince discarded all means of defense and attacked Vane, his slashes had no hesitation on them.
Vane was barely surviving the deadly wrath of the Prince, after deflecting one slash, he recklessly punched the Prince on his face, wich made him stumble back.
The Prince grabbed his nose
"that was reckless"
In the next exchange the Prince raised his sword with one hand as Vane lifted his to block the Prince's wraithful slash.
the slash never came, what arrived was a blinding pain on Vane's side, the Prince used his other hand to stab Vane with a dagger.
Vane managed to kick the Prince few feet back as he grabbed his side.
"What's up with that chick anyways?, you'd lose your life here for her?".
Vane glared at him, then why bother and kidnap her?
The Prince shrugged and kept twirling the dagger on his hand, while holding the sword with his other hand.
"Stupid reason i presume, i just wanted a good-looking wife"
he paused before adding
"but why do you risk your life for her?".
Vane let out a pained laugh.
"more stupid reason than yours, I love her".
it was true, after all Vane couldn't deny his deep feelings towards Juliet.
