No, he did not. And even if he did, he would just put it aside since he couldn't even wield spear or sword.
That aside, Did that crossdressing prince reappear in this volume? I heard he (she) hide her survival from public. I thought she was in the middle of an assasination attempt where all of her bodyguards died protecting her (including her trusworthy friend Jeanne, so sad......), but what happens to her afterwards? (This part nearly indechiperable using my premature chinese. I also heard that some guys from Briune learn about her survival and attempt to kill her to prevent her from revealing her gender to the public, is it true? |

Well, even if he did receive the sword, what he could do about it? I recalled that Tigre even lose to a normal foot soldier when it comes to melee combat. It's funny to see someone that devote himself to archery using sword in the middle of war. Also, the scene where Tigre made a plan to flood enemies army is very awesome. I just can't believe that a lazy ass and sleepyhead like him is very quick-witted and a capable strategist. |

Well, it's a common trope nowadays for capable strategist to be a lazy ass in modern story. It probably comes from the sleeping dragon, which basically nowadays means a person who hides his true ability, being one of the most widely known strategist. The original sleeping dragon actually die young from overwork though

So much intriguing developments and gripping character insights to be gleamed, and what most of you obsess over is Durandal? Durandal is nothing more than a glorified medal of honor for Tigre, meant not only to symbolize and represent what was already listed earlier (Roland's apology and recognition of his efforts) but that should Knights or Nobles go after Tigre's company, Tigre was to use Durandal as proof that he had indeed defeated Roland (and gained his trust) in order to convince them to back off. After all, "if someone defeated the unstoppable monster known as Roland, then it would have taken someone much more monstrously powerful" would be the reasoning. Plus, it was the royal sword handed down by the King to the Black Knight Roland. One would think that Roland would not just simply pass something of that value and importance to an enemy, much less to a rebel.
No, chuunis. Tigre will not use the sword. Tigre will not wield Durandal. It has already been established several times that Tigre's remarkable mastery of the bow comes with the price of being absolutely clumsy when it comes to using other weapons. This story has an established logic and follows it faithfully; it will not drop it just for the sake of being cool. Get over it. I suggest dropping your interest for this series and following something like Sword Art Online if you can't. Spoiler:

Ya that part was definitely awesome, the way he planned that arrow to strike at the horse's head made me view Tigre with even most respect than before! It seem all of you now know the greatness of Roland =w= *shot*

What I loved about that part was consistency in the story telling in line with previous events. Why did Tigre decide to pull off such a strategy against Roland in order to save Elen?
Spoiler for Volume 1, first meeting with Elen:
Spoiler for Roland's overwhelming presence:
