Bare your blades, students of Saint-Noel! The biannual swordsmanship tournament has arrived, and the competition is as fierce as the stakes are high! Can Prince Abel prevail in a battle of wills against his chauvinistic brother? Can anyone stop Prince Sion’s meteoric rise through the ranks? When the day is finally won, who will emerge victorious as the academy’s finest swordsman? And most importantly, will Mia’s culinary genius secure Abel’s affection, or will Keithwood’s incessant nitpicking and idea-quashing ruin everything?
