Vitalis got out of the wagon and looked towards the castle of the kingdom, then sighed and grabbed his bag.

Alexander sighed as the ministers walked out of the royal hall of the good kingdom. Even if he was a king political things could frustrate him a lot.

Aiden places his sword down as the session had ended. He dismissed the others to go clean up. He needed to go check on the posted guards soon so he went to quickly clean up and put on his uniform once again.

Vitalis walked over to a building not far from the castle's front gate. From there he inspected their security.

A look of hurt crossed nyxs face ''no i didnt mean to be rude!" Onyx said panic clear
"dont wory little bro" he said Onnie already forgiven

"Even if i am the king i still have to practise, you never know when those despicable people from the bad kingdom will wage war?" Alexander spoke to himself. He proceeded to get up from the throne and headed towards the right side of the hall and pulled down a secret lever but not before taking a torch,his crown glinting with light of the flame. Alexander then walked into the newly visible passage and disappeared from eye's sight as the passage closed off, returning to its slumbering sleep.

Father?" Nyx called out "where are you?"

Aiden walked out in his uniform. His face was a still and cold like a silent storm. He made his way towards the front gate. That is where he will begin the evaluations from. Walking briskly towards the guards appointed their he saw them straighten, their faces bore a well trained emotionless expression and they nodded once towards him.

Alexander entered to a large underground chamber that was made for royal's to train in private. He moved into the open and put out a fighting stance.Pulling out his twin swords he started moving first slowly but soon increasing speed before soon becoming a illusive blur.

Vitalis watched the head of the guard inspect security, but he did not leave where he was.

Aiden eyes ran across the streets outside the front gate, he felt eyes watching him which made him instinctively rest his hand on his sword as he turned around, inspecting each guard he passed as he walked up towards the castle door. He would have to inspect each one lined against the gate and the few scattered across the courtyard next.

He got up and walked around staying across the street inspecting and looking for breaks in the security.

Ophelia was sitting in her favorite place outside, which happened to be underneath the large weeping willow that was planted in the courtyard. She had her sketchbook on her lap and was doodling herself in a gorgeous wedding dress. She had already planned her ideal wedding, which she started doing after accepting the fact that she would likely be betrothed to some prince someday. At the very least, she wanted to look stunning that day.

Long after his daily training started Alexander finally stopped and took a breath. He then sheathed his swords and exited the chamber and headed towards his chamber.

Alexander slipped into the warm bath after being undressed and washed himself. After he was finished he wore a new pair of clothes and gave the previous ones to the maids. He then left his room in search of his children.

Ophelia heard footsteps approaching and turned her head. "Oh! Father! How are you?" She closed her sketchbook and stood up, brushing some dust off of her dress.

The king walked to a place he knew his daughter Ophelia would be. As he smelled the fresh air his eyes set on a girl underneath the weeping willow in the courtyard. Putting a smile on his face he walked towards the person who's concentration was focused on her sketchpad.
"Hello Ophelia." He said once he arrived next to her.

"Me?" Alexander chuckled "Fine i've just the usual, the boring politics and then training what about you?. I hope you haven't been here for the whole day?" He said slightly worried

"Not the whole day." Ophelia laughed. "I did some training earlier, studied in the library, and visited the town square. I have been here a little while, though."

"Good" Alexander breathed a sigh of relief."So what has my lovely daughter been doing here?"

"I've been drawing, father. I find it very peaceful under the willow; it clears my mind and helps me relax. When was it planted?"

Alexander sighed while rubbing his face.
"It's been a few centuries, Your great great great great Grandfather Magnus planted this to commemorate the victory of one of the many wars between the two kingdoms."
