Preparation

"I will train Prince Conrad," Duke Henry announced and the prince bowed in thanks.

"Your swordsmanship is already better than most knights your age. But you still have much to learn. As the first heir to the throne, you should always aspire for greater strength," Duke Henry continued and the first prince saluted like a soldier to his commander.

"Prince Fabian, your swordsmanship is good but you still lack a lot of things. You have to train harder from now on. I will check your performance again later and train you if you have improved."

Prince Fabian nodded sadly but he looked motivated to improve so the Duke would also train him.

"Prince Aiden, you are still young but that is not a reason to slack off. Don't just focus on your studies. Give ample time to your sword lessons as well. I will also train you if your performance improves."
