Bab 99: Swordsmanship Training With Ezekiel

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Please wake up, Your Highness. It's time for your swordsmanship practice."

Ruby had been calling me for a while now. But I did not want to wake up, so I was not answering. But it did not help as she threw the blanket away and forced me to get down from the bed. 

"Your Highness, you're the one who told me to force you to wake up even if you don't want to," she said. 

"Ah, right... But I still feel sleepy..."

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

"... I did," I mumbled. Yes, I slept but only for an hour or two. Mother and I talked almost the whole night. She told me a lot of things about Father-in-law, cursed eyes, and also that kings and queens did not have to be mates to marry. They married for political reasons and then took concubines. Because of a potion, even if they found their mates, they could still mate with others. It was weird and I did not like the idea at all. If there was a way to change it, I would try.
