Training

Kiara stepped out of the bath, her thoughts already shifting to the training ahead. Maidservant Tae followed closely behind, carrying a neatly folded training robe. Kiara donned it without a word, her focus sharp as she made her way to the waiting carriage.

The ride to Lake Gayank was uneventful . The sprawling lake came into view, its shimmering waters reflecting the soft morning light. As the carriage came to a halt, two familiar figures awaited her: Asher, with his mischievous grin, and Ryder, ever the picture of stern authority.

"Where's Lucius?" Kiara asked, stepping out of the carriage.

Asher was the first to answer, his grin widening. "Busy with kingly duties, Your Majesty. He sends his regards, though."

Ryder nodded curtly. "Until then, we'll oversee your training."

Kiara frowned but didn't argue. She knew better than to waste time questioning Lucius's absence when her own skills were what mattered now.
