"Gerald, why are you walking down the stairs? I told you to find my brother—oh." Mirabelle blinked. 

Ophelia paused for a brief second. She saw Gerald had been accompanied by Mirabelle, who was surprisingly sweating, with a sword strapped to her waist and a bright glimmer in her eyes. Ophelia realized Mirabelle must've slipped away from tutoring to train with the soldiers. 

"Right on time," Killorn muttered. "I had Cora bring some merchants for you to decorate the garden as you wish. They should be here by now. Mirabelle, guide Ophelia to the drawing room."
