" I heard that his Majesty did not allow you to do any training for a week, since your here I guest a week already pass am I right?", Prince Alucard said.
" You're right your highness, I'm supposed to train earlier I didn't expect that I would be able to watched your highness's excellent archery intead", I said as I look at each of them genuinely happy because I've learned something from them.
As I look at Prince Roger who won earlier I can't help but pause a bit their is something from his eye that I can't seem to name. His still wearing the same straight face as always but his eyes seems to show a glint I can't really read well.
I just shrug it off, maybe I'm just thinking too much about it.
I look back at Prince Alucard " Since I'm contented to what I've seen earlier I'll just train next time and if given an opportunity I would also like it if the highness's can compete with me as well", I can't help but say to them.
" We would like to just let us know youbng Lady no need to ask the others I'll drag them for ya!", Prince Kaja answered enthusiastically before Prince Alucard could answer, glaring at his outspoken friend before turning back at me and nodded to show that he agreed to what Prince Kaja said.
I can't help but laugh a bit I somehow started to get used to talking to them casually as I play my role as a simple young Lady.
For some reason I feel like I'm just being who I am supposed to be. Before my mind can think further I just dismissed such thought and remember what I am supposed to do. I still have a duty to do.
" Then I'll be leaving your highnesses ", I bid my goodbye and walk out of the training ground with Hilda following me.
" Young Lady are you sure you want to compete with them? You've seen how good they are specially Prince Roger. I still can't believe it is possible to hit many target all at once with a blindfold!", and here she goes.
"Of course I am, who do you think I am?", I said grinning. Understanding the meaning behind my words . She pouted before smiling brightly.
"Indeed , I wish to witness it when you get to compete with any of them young Lady. I believe in you since you're...", I cut her off before she can say more we're still outside and we still need to be keep things secret.
" I understand your excitement but please calm down Hilda we don't want words to be heard by unwanted people", I said while smiling helplessly at my maids over enthusiasm that can lead to her to become a bit carless.
" Oh my! My apologies Young Lady , I can't help it. Just imagining it makes me so happy that I completely forgot to keep my mouth shut", she pouted and I giggled really what I will do with her.
" I won't tolerate such carelessness as your punishment you have to prepare a bunch of food that this Lady would like to eat. I seem to get so hungry after watching such excellent archery", I playfully said.
" I will surely prepare a feast for my young lady as my punishment", she said confidently. I can only shake my head feeling hopeless at my naive maid.
"I'm really thankful that you've been with me Hilda", I smiled which makes her face red in embarrassment.
" My Lady I should be the saying that you've been so good to me that I want to work my whole life beside you", she said making her face burn more that makes me giggle which makes her face becomes brighter red even more.
" Aaah my Lady is teasing me again, I will now go get your food please wait for me ", we're just one corner away from my room, before she can run far I said " I'll be in the hut behind my room".
" I understand my Lady wait for me", she said and soon she's out of sight. She's really fast.
I went straight at the back of my room. As I decided to think about things on my own while waiting. I will let my mind wonder just for today to think things through.

After the young Lady left the three also went on their own rooms.
It's now late in the afternoon as I check the documents that father sent me.
A knock on my door takes my attention.
" Your highness a letter brought by Prince Roger's maid arrived", one of the guards announced. That was sooner that expected so I guess he really already have something in mind thats why he agreed to join earlier.
" Let them in", I said.
" Greetings to the crown prince", the maid bows as she holds the letter in her two hands to give it to me.
I took it and dismissed the maid.
Before opening the letter I look at it for sometime thinking of some possible things it may contain like helping the North about something whatever it is it can only be related to the North.
As I finally opened the letter I read it and as soon as I read what's inside I got confused and can't help but doubt if I read it correctly.
Far from what I expect the letter contains his requests for me to accept him as my knight for a year and for him to be able to roam anytime and anywhere in the palace within this period.
What kind of request is this? Did he write it correctly? I look and look it is his handwriting there's even his seal on it.
I don't understand this absurd request at all. How come it doesn't have anything related to the North? Why do I feel like Roger is asking to have a vacation here in the capital for a year? Becoming my knight but he will be able to roam anytime and anywhere he likes?
I'm speechless and utterly confused. This is Roger we're talking about.
Leaving the documents behind I walk out my study room to go to his room. I need to talk to him about this.

As for the two other prince they are also shocked and confused as they received their letters from Prince Roger.
Prince Kaja and Prince Valir received the same request of monthly visit of elite knights to his territory for a year to help with it's security and for the two prince to leave the capital after a month without coming back for a year.
They are as speechless as the crown prince and soon both of them also stormed out of their room leaving what they're doing behind to go to Prince Roger's room.
