Chapter 13: Ventured Too Far

My excitement to enter the training ground was met with disappointment. The training ground was empty, not a single knight was in the area.

"Where are the knights?"

"They're doing defense training in the valley today, Your Highness." Ysable always had to follow me everywhere I went. Although, I was grateful that she was at least informational.

"Let's go to the valley then." I turned and marched back out, with Ysable trailing behind me.

"I will have a carriage prepared for you my lady."

"No, just prepare a horse."

"Right away Your Highness."

My dress wasn't as restrictive today, so riding a horse wasn't much of an issue. It was still a pain, but not as bad as the other dresses.

"You can stay here Ysable."

"I cannot let you go alone, Your Highness. It's dangerous outside the walls." She ran in front of me with her arms spread out to block the horse.

"And how exactly are you going to protect me? Do you know how to fight?"
