CH. 36 Brave Little Hearts

"Do you know where the twins are?" She asked Sen, The butler.

"I heard they were in the training grounds, Your Highness." He answered. She asked him to keep an eye on their activities as she prepared her heart for this conversation. A few days ago, the tutor was decided and he will soon move into the guest palace so now Maia has a topic to start a conversation with the twins naturally. She didn't feel as unsure and hesitant anymore.

She decided to be open with the six-year-olds. She didn't expect them to accept and understand everything. She just didn't want to hide anything and even if they hated her after hearing her story, she would gladly accept it. And then maybe one day, after she left, when they were older, they would understand and forgive her.

So she made her way to the training arena, her steps lighter and her heart determined. The squire Basil was in tow along with Ivy. May and Reese were busy with other duties so the entourage was small today.
