I end up sending Ciara with a note to the top graduate of the knight academy. Sir Maxon.
When he arrived at my room the next morning... He seemed confused.
He bows at me and asks the reason I called for him.
I explain I want to learn the way of the sword. And he bursts out laughing until he realizes I'm not joking... he tries to refuse using the same excuse of I'm a princess and it's not proper and that my father will not be happy.
So I use My last resort I beg and say I'll be a good student and that I'll do anything that I really want to learn.. He's reluctant and then I give him a pleading look.
He agrees telling me that it will get hard and I could draw blood and I will be sore... Since I can't train in the arena Maxon says he has a secret place in the palace... Turns out there are many tunnels and passageways I don't know about.
He leads me to the library and all he does is pull a book and a shelf swings open we go down a flight of stairs and I'm met with a circular room that resembles an arena weapons line the walls and torches burn, lighting up the room. I turn to Maxon
"I have an Arena I have a teacher, So...Shall we begin?"
