PALACE

Kyrian swings his sword towards Theron but the young man easily blocks it. The clashing of swords creates a high-pitched noise moving through the air. He steps back after pushing him and twirls, swinging his sword again. Theron was second late to adjust his footing. He managed to stop the sword from coming in contact with his neck but he fell to the ground after.

Both of them were catching their breaths with sweat trickling down their faces. Theron lay down on the ground, staring at the clear sky. They have been doing this for four hours already. No, they have been doing this for weeks.

All of them were anxious. Theron for the safety of Seira. He was not the only one but also Cadence, King Rehan, and the other servant named Almira. He was genuinely concerned for the condition of the princess. He grew to admire the woman.
