Chapter 3
Allen sat at the window inside his room, watching his sister Selena in the courtyard. Her hair glinted in the sunlight and her laughter rang out. Despite Allen's misgivings, Selena begged Allen to be taught in the ways of swordplay. Allen had been slightly horrified, even more so when Selena has altered her dresses: shortening the sleeves and skirt, somewhat reminiscent of Hitomi's skirts. She began wearing tights under her dress and eyeing Allen's sword. Allen finally relented and asked Gaddes to train Selena. To be honest, Selena pretty much had Allen wrapped around her slender fingers, so to speak. And she knew it, obviously. Right now, she parried a blow Gaddes dealt, and countered. She was surprisingly good at sword fighting.
Allen's attention was broken by a rider coming up to the gates. From the look of it, the rider and horse was Fanalian. Allen got up and went downstairs to greet the rider. Climbing off the horse, the rider led the horse into the courtyard after being let inside. Allen approached with a goblet of wine for the rider, which the rider accepted gratefully. "Greetings Sir Allen Schezar. This invitation is from King Van of Fanelia," the rider replied. By this time, Selena and Gaddes had taken a break and an interest in the rider, approaching Allen. "Much thanks," Allen told the rider, who nodded in respect and climbed onto his horse, riding to the gate and then starting back for Fanelia.
"Brother, what is it?" Selena asked curiously, trying to peek over his shoulder on tippy-toes. Allen had opened the cream envelope, breaking the Fanelian wax seal. His blue eyes read the invitation and he slowly smiled. "Boss? What's up?" Gaddes inquired. Allen chuckled some. "Seems Van. ah, King Van, is having a festival soon, to celebrate the finished restoration of Fanelia. Shall we go?" He turned to look at the two, blond eyebrows raised and a grin on his face. Selena bounced happily, nodding. "A festival, how exciting!" Gaddes smiled, "Whatever you wanna do boss. Be great to see Fanelia finished and all." Allen folded up the invitation. "Alright then, We'd better go pack. Tell the men, Gaddes."
