Seeing that the airship would be ready sometime later today, Tiberius shook the hands of the king and of the prince before he left. Seeing as two hours had past already since they began their talks, Tiberius made his way over to the training grounds to see how his finances and daughter were doing with their training exercises. As eh entered the training grounds, Tiberius was meant by the sight of Selena and Ardrelia double teaming Leona in simulated combat..........
The three women arrived at the spot Selena mentioned within half a hour.
The Place was beautiful as ever, the trees stand in full bloom and the water in the pond was crystal clear.
They had packed a picnic-basket, including a blanket and for the first minutes they only enjoyed the silence and peace.
Selena was the first to break the peace.
" It's a good place to train your sense, nothing that could disturb you. No noise from the city, no people in a area of a mile. Here I learned my first own lesson, you must trust your own senses. and you must understand what they tell you. To demonstrate that, what do you feel here ? Peace right ? Well a little voice will say you that I will do this now..." with a fluid motion she revealed a dagger. Noticing the shock in Leonas face and the defense stance she took at once.
" You must learn to hear this voice, it will your live-saver one day. You have a good reaction-time and this will help you here. When we are at war you shouldn't drop your guard. That's a lection I learned on the hard tour."
For more than a hour they trained this skill with acceptable results in the end of the session.
" Now enough of this, I think we should see how good you are with the sword. Here catch."
She drew a wooden sword with metal weight to Leona who catch it without problems.
"This is only a training session but I think in two weeks we can get to the real swords. Now let's see how good you are exactly."
When Tiberius came, they were in the mid of their thirth sword fight.
