Agents of the Cardinal - Episode 1 How to meet a musketeer
Louise was waiting for her opponent. The blonde girl was wearing a short black latex dress with a nice cleavage, short black latex gloves and knee high black leather boots. Her left hand was on the pommel of her rapier while her right one held a cigarette. The jardins du Luxembourg were not crowded at this hour, just one hour before sunset and her opponent had told her that end of the jardins was not usually patrolled by Cardinal's guards, so they could settle their matter by dueling without being disturbed.
Louise heard footsteps coming closer. Angélique was coming with her witness. Wearing a white shirt, dark leather corset and wetlook leggings, Angélique was a medium sized girl with small breasts. Her long dark hair was free and her green eyes looked like they wanted some excitement. Beside her was a tall man with blonde hair, dressed in brown leather jacket and pants. The musketeers' uniform. Angélique presented the man as being François de Poncy, a member of the King's musketeer regiment and fine swordsman. He agreed to be witness to Angélique in the matter of her duel with Louise.
"Nice to meet you, monsieur," said Louise. "I'm sorry that I didn't bring a witness, and am new here so I didn't know anyone. I hope it does not bother you."
Acting as referee François asked each girl if she still wanted to have that duel then explained the rules for the duel : the one to draw first blood, wins, one can ask to stop at any moment, each girl knew that first -blood could still be deadly.
"Now take your positions mesdemoiselles."
Louise stepped away and turned to face Angélique, as she unsheathed her rapier. They saluted each other with their blades.
"En garde!" said François.
Louise took stance, ready to let Angélique attack first, which she did rather quickly. Louise parried her blade then tried a slash to make her opponent move back before doing a simple lunge, aiming for her stomach. Angélique wasn't an amateur and dodged the blade easily. The fight was proving to be a challenge and was starting to get interesting; Louise thought.
"What is that? Isn't it some kind of duel?"
Both women stopped their attacks and look at the people coming towards them. Five Cardinal's guards, dressed in black latex catsuits and black leather thigh boots. A redheaded girl with big breasts was leading the group. Louise knew her as Bianca, one of the most dangerous guards.
"Given that you're with one of those pretentious musketeers I guess you're perfectly aware that duels are forbidden in Paris and in the whole kingdom. So I'll ask to you to give us your blades and follow us to be put in detention. But if you choose to resist us..." She taps the pommel of her rapier with her left hand, showing perfectly what was going to happen in the event that they decided not to cooperate.
Louise noticed the look that Angélique and François shared, trying to decide if they should continue their fight. She decided to give them some help in making their decision.
"I'm ready to teach to your boys how to properly use their swords, milady." She said to Bianca.
Louise heard François unsheathing his blade and said "We'll stand our ground as any musketeers do when facing the Cardinal's dogs and bitches".
The five guards unsheathed their rapiers and the fight begin.
Louise was facing a short girl with brown hair and a medium sized blonde haired guy, both looking eager to put their blade in through her chest. The man's excitement was already visible thru his latex catsuit. Angélique was against Bianca, while François fought the last two guys. Louise decided to eliminate her opponents and reduce them to a single one quickly, then play with the remaining one while waiting to see how things go with the other fights. The girl was the first to make a mistake and she cried out in pain as Louise's blade run her thru heart without mercy. The woman removed her rapier quickly enough to parry the one of the man who seemed upset that his female companion had been killed. Then Louise begins to play with her opponent. She let him try a few attacks, emphasizing her own parry as it was proving to be difficult to fight against him. Then she decided to show who was in charge of the fight as she hit him, lightly, on then thigh. As the fight continued the man seemed less and less excited and more and more angry.
Louise kept an eye on what was happening in the other duels. François had killed one of his opponents and seemed in good position against the last one. As for Angélique it looked more difficult. Louise didn't hear exactly what the girl and Bianca were talking about while fighting but it seemed there was some personal matter between the two women.
