"What? Can't I sleep this way?"

"Ahh, can't believe it's finally over." Kenn slowly stretches his body after a long practice with Philip.

"Actually, like any other royals, I will have you both go on a real fight outside the palace." Philip proudly smiles as he outs his sword back in its place.

My tea is finally here. I asked Lydia to bring some snacks for the boys too. Feels like I'm the mother of these two now. I jolt as I hear a sound from behind. Karl puts his sword at the bench near us and sits next to me and Kenn.

"When will we go? Where will we go?" Kenn asks as he drinks his water.

"Two more days, we still don't know about that. I still have to ask Barb to find the perfect place."

"Yeah, that old man knows everything." Kenn laughs.

I turn around and look at Karl to see his reaction. Well, I guess nothing to expect other than his poker face.

My eyes unconsciously catch Karl's big sword that he put behind him. I wonder if I can lift it up and swish it around like how Karl and Kenn do it.

"Don't say you're interested in it." Karl says, looking at me with his sharp eyes while he's drinking his water.

I spontaneously grin. I can see Karl sighs as he take his sword and opens it.

"It is so sharp." He pulls his sword away from me as I was going to touch the blade.

"Do you always practice with this sword?" I ask.

"Well-," Kenn wanted to say but Karl stopped him.

"Of course. Wrong move and you might get injured." Karl smirks as he looks at me sharply.

I gulp. Isn't that too dangerous to use for practicing?

"HAHAHA!" Kenn finally bursts into laughter.

"We don't always use that. We have the wood version for a safer practice." Kenn explains. Philip who is sitting in front of us can only smile.

I glare at Karl. He looks very satisfied after making me feel embarrassed in front of Kenn and Philip.

"Can I try lifting it?" I ask. Karl raises his eyebrow.

"What? Is it too heavy?" I continue.

"Sister, I suggest you-,"

"Kenn, you're giving her too much information. Why don't we just let her try?"

Karl doesn't seem to stop bullying me.

"Here." He slowly lift his sword and give it to my hand.

"Woah." Karl hasn't even let go of the sword in my hand and yet I already feel that this thing is heavy.

"It is not too heavy actually, you just need to get used to it." Kenn says.

"Still want to try?"
