The next morning, everyone's training began early . Raina was the first to dash away from the breakfast table . However, she didn't forget to kiss her father, mother, and the baby before dashing off to where her Tudor waited . Daxin nodded at both Princess and Prince before taking his charge away . Kyera was slower to finish her breakfast, well that's not quite slower to eat, she was just slower to fill up . The baby was really wanting the meats she was taking in as elegantly as she could manage .

"I have hand to hand combat today, you need to go meet with the Caravan and find out who your new guards are and stick to them . " Clovis told her with a easy smile . Kyera raised a brow and then followed it with a chuckle .

Advertisement"Dear, once Talis has put together a guard he will come to me . Me going to them is a insult . I will be in archery practice . " Kyera replied as she finished the meat on her plate and sipped the tea her favorite hand maid had prepared . He sighed shaking his head .

"I still have a lot to learn about your culture, but why archery?" He asked curiously . He had yet to see a single archer among her clan . Well there were two or three but he didn't know them by name . Kyera sighed, her face darkening slightly, well aware of what he was thinking . There was sadness in her eyes .

"Our archers are our first defense . If one is to successfully lay siege to the Bazaar not one archer may survive . " Kyera explained as she wiped her mouth and stared down at her plate . That off handed comment told him everything he needed to know, and likewise reminded him he was being cruel . He didn't mean to be, but his question ripped open old wounds that he didn't know how to handle .

"I am s…" a finger covered his lips before he could get the words out . Her golden eyes met his, still laced with sadness but also serious .

"You don't get to apologize for their sins . The Dark ones made those words cruel, not you . Don't you dare ask forgiveness from your wife and mate when none is required . " Kyera spoke softly so the guards could not hear but each word burned with intensity . It was something that took his breath away, and he settled for a light kiss to her finger tip . She smiled and pulled her hand away .

"Alright, love . Shall I escort you to the training grounds before I go to my own teacher?" He asked and she nodded, setting her napkin onto the table before standing up . Clovis offered her his arm, which she took and walked with him toward the practice field .

"Are you planning to train with Lazren?" Kyera asked, glancing at him from the side . Clovis sensed something was odd about the way she said that . It was almost as though there was another meaning to her words, a light unease in his chest .

"Yes, he is the only hand to hand teacher I have on hand . " Clovis replied carefully . Kyera smiled sneakily, trying to control her grin from getting too wide .

"I thought you might say that . However, I think he will be a bit busy since he's tailing me constantly . " Kyera pointed out and Clovis stopped for a moment . She was right, there was no way Lazren was going to leave her unprotected, or with palace guards . He didn't trust their abilities or willingness to protect her should they find shes a shifter .

"That is true . Perhaps I can't train today . Oh well, I can brush up on lore and history . " He offered with a bit of relief . In all honesty, he didn't look forward to their daily tussles . It didn't feel like he was learning much, all they did was fight over and over but there was hardly any learning being done . He just had to figure it out for himself, but he didn't understand the strategy to begin with .

"You might be able to . Come with me . " Kyera altered their course and took him toward a hedge, it was the start of a maze . He wasn't quite sure where they were going within the maze . It seemed to twist and twirl around them, but Kyera knew the path . As they got closer to what he suspected to be the center he heard the obvious sounds of a fight . The primal growls and grunts of two men locked in combat .
