I do think that this young man might be skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship..” “How could he be skilled in the something like that? Who did he grow up with for him to have access to such higher education? It makes no sense!” She reasoned.“We are not quite sure the origin

At first glance, she had wondered who the strangers were and was about to turn them away, when Ellinor spoke.“You look like a tulip in that dress!” Ellinor had said.No one compares her in a red dress to flowers except the weird Ellinor! She wasn't expecting to see those duo anytime soon and seeing them dressed like common? They might have looked even worse than Beggars! They really over did that part of their dress up.

You and Prince Edward will be attending the council meeting and every other arrangement would be made.” Keith's eyes widened in realisation, that meeting! He almost forgot about that! “W
