jennete POV

at the huge mansion of the noctem family.

" young mistress , it's time to wake up " I heard someone call for me

I opened my eyes and found my personal maid above me with her usual stern face.

I smiled " good morning melissa "

" good morning to you too young mistress ,I know it's still early but you have training today, lord louic is also waiting for you at the training ground "

" ahh yes ! I almost forgot ! I can't wait for it !!" I said all excited .

after the kidnnaping , I wasn't allowed to train due to my injuries .

they weren't so bad  that I had  to rest for this long but mother in law and louic wouldnt let me do a single thing.

no work no training no walking .

finally yesterday, the physician allowed me to get back to work .

" I think you're the only person who would be this excited to train with the lord ,young mistress " melissa said smiling a bit .she helped me wash up .

melissa my new personal maid was quite diffrent from the ones assigned to me at the palace .

she had a calm personality and seemed almost cold at first but she does her work perfectly and cares for me like no one had .

I like her a lot .

" I like to learn new things specially if it's to defend myself ."

as the next duchess I will probably be the first target for louic's enemies ,so I need to be strong !

" I'm happy for you but please dont overdo it " melissa helped me dress up for my training and tied my hair .

" yes dont worry for me . I will go now, have a nice day melissa" 

upon arriving on the training ground I saw my fiance from afar his back leaning against a tree with some documents in his hands .

he was probably waiting for me.

looks like he did some exercices too considering the towel on his neck and the sweat on his face .

he sensed my presence and looked up

" good morning jennete " he said calmly almost with a smile .

almost. maybe he is in a good mood .

" good morning louic " I said smiling .

" are you sure you've rested enough?"

" yes! I feel like a tiger " I said with detemination in my eyes

" alright then we will start right away ,if you feel any pain or you cant keep up tell me okay?"

I nodded.

2h later~

I sat on the ground panting heavily ,I still have a long way to go.

I feel like Im dying while louic isnt even tired .

he handed me a towel and some water .

" thank you , you're really incredible louic you know that" I was really impressed .

" its nothing really , I've been training my whole life so that much is nothing."

" I suppose so "

" we have some work to do later , one of the aristocrat is causing trouble and may want to start a revolution ,though nothing is confirmed . we will inspect his mansion in the afternoon ." louic said without a hint of emotions.
