Bab 565: You Are My Husband And Mate

After they talked for a while, Drayce asked Ruven, "Since you are free now, why don't you start training with Slayer?"

Ruven immediately stiffened and stood up, his expression complicated. Drayce called for Slayer who was standing guard outside the study. 

Just as the knight entered the study and bowed to the King and the Queen, he heard Drayce inform, "Take my brother to the sword training ground and have a spar to brush up his defensive skills."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Slayer agreed and he left with the sighing Ruven. 

After changing into more comfortable clothes, Ruven met Slayer in the middle of the open area far from observing eyes. As Slayer was his brother's knight and someone he was familiar with, he thought he would go easy on him. He didn't know how wrong he could be. 

"Sir Calhoun! Wait—ack!"

"Please stand up, Your Highness."

"—it's unfair that you tried to trip me!"

"You need to observe everything about your opponent."
