A Day In The Life Of…

"Now let's go over the map once more."

The 7 year old blonde looked over at her brother who nodded at her with a smile. "This is our kingdom, The Kingdom of Amihan. This kingdom up north was once one, but they split into two, but they are very much the one and same—the one on the right is The Kingdom of Brontë and the one on the left is the Kingdom of Raamiah. Then over here, over the mountains is the Kingdom of Kalil. The Kingdoms of Mahabala and Anil are over on the south west and south east." She looked up and smiled at the teacher.

"Very good. Now, unfortunately we're out of time, so you'll have to study the people who live there and we'll discuss it tomorrow. Now Master Cameron, you have your sparring lessons with Sir Jaketh."

Cam smiled and gave a quick smile to his little sister before he left.

The girl tilted her head the blonde curls moving to one side. "What about me?"

"You my dear are going to wait in here for Mistress Thane to come and teach you your lady lessons."

"My what?"

"Lady lessons."

"Why can't I go out with Cam, it'll be much more fun than to listen to her. Please?"

The teacher looked as the young girl pouted a little and then shook his head. "This is how it should be Miss Victoria."

"It's Tori, don't call me Victoria."

"Victoria is more of a name a princess goes by."

"Well when I'm princess I can chance that. Besides what's wrong with Tori?"

"It's just; things are done a certain way. Mistress Thane will go more into that. I must go. You wait here."

Tori watched as the older man left. As soon as she did she turned in her seat to an older girl who sat behind her. "Are you staying?"

Kelly smiled at Tori, "Well you're staying, so I'm staying."

"Why do I have to learn this?"

Kelly gave a small laugh. "Because you're a princess and you need to learn all about this."

"Thanks. So while Cam is out there enjoying himself I have to stay inside and listen to 'speak like this', 'wear this', hold your cup like that', is that what you're saying?"

Kelly laughed, "Basically."

The young blonde turned back in her chair and folded her arms just as Mistress Thane came into the room.

Finally after what seemed forever for the little girl, the lessons were over and she and Kelly were free to do what they wanted. Immediately Tori headed outside.

"What are you planning on doing?"

"Oh nothing much."

"And I'm supposed to believe that?"

Tori grinned at the older girl and headed towards the fields the knights and Cam were practicing in. She walked over and picked up a spare sword on the ground. With that in one hand and her dress in the other she headed towards Cam. "I'm here."

Cam looked at her and shook his head. "Tori, how many times do I have to tell you, this isn't your skills to learn?"

"Well you'll have to tell me again after today's lesson."

The knight Cam had been sparring with gave Cam a look before bowing and walking off to get a drink. Cam put his hand up to his forehead as he looked at his little sister's face. "I'm going to regret this." Cam muttered under his breath. "Okay, look we can go at it for a bit. Nothing more alright? But before we do, why do you need to learn this? And I don't want 'just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't." Alright?"

"Fine." Tori looked at the knights and then at the castle before looking back in the young man's face. "What if I get kidnapped? And people are to slow; wouldn't it have been better if I had known how to fight so I can escape?"

Cam looked back at Kelly who shrugged her shoulders, "She came up with that on her own."

"Alright, follow me." With that Cam taught Tori how to fight, mostly basics, but enough for her.

Blake walked slowly into the room. He looked to the left and the right, no one was there. He quietly shut the door. He knew that he couldn't get caught before he reached his goal. He crept forward a bit before moving against a tall piece of furniture. Seeing that it was still dark he blended in perfectly to the shadows letting them be his cover. He peered around the furniture and saw that no one was there. Quietly he moved slowly toward the goal. He stole towards the soft piece of furniture. As he went up next to it he slowly reached and pulled off the blanket. It was empty. The young boy quickly looked around. He didn't see anyone anywhere. And then he felt himself knocked to the ground. He turned around, but not quick enough as his assailant landed next to him holding him down with one hand. The dark haired boy frowned. "Not fair."

"Got to be quieter. I heard you open the door." The fair haired boy gave a smirk.

"I wasn't that loud." Blake said pushing his older brother, Hunter's hand off his chest.

Hunter stood up and extended his hand to Blake who took it. "You were very loud. Besides I was up before you got here."

"Fine. Let's go outside."

"Alright. Let's go." As the two boys got out of Hunter's room they peeked around the corner. "We're good." They quietly got to the front entrance of the hall without any problems.

As the two young boys opened the doors they were met by Captain Red from Uncle Omino's guards. He looked down at the two boys as Hunter stepped a bit in front of Blake. "Where are you two headed?"

"Out." Hunter spoke up confidently. "What are you doing here?"

"Hunter, he brought Raidon and Leanne." Hunter and Blake turned and looked at his mother and father. "Behave."

Hunter turned back to the guard and folded his arms.

Edward looked past his sons and the guard and smiled. "Raidon, Leanne, please come in."

The captain stepped aside as an older man and a young girl with long dark red hair came through the door. "Raidon, Leanne it's good to see you." Elizabeth said.

"Please Raidon, let us go into my study."

The three parents headed off to the study leaving the children by the door. Hunter grabbed Blake's hand to go outside but Blake stopped him. "Leanne, are you okay?"

The girl looked over at them and gave a small smile, "My father told me that I am betrothed."

Hunter shrugged, "Can't be too bad. Wait to whom?"

"Cameron Watanabe, from The Kingdom of Amihan."

Blake looked up at his brother and then back at Leanne. "I'm sorry. That's horrible."

"Yeah, I wouldn't want anything to do with anyone from that kingdom." Hunter said.

Leanne bit her lip, "Are you betrothed?"

Blake shook his head. "No. But Hunter is."

"Are you?" Leanne asked Hunter peering into the boys' blue eyes.

"Yes. It's someone completely north of here. No one knows about it. They have kept to themselves for quite some time and are trying to keep their kingdom intact."

"Mother and Father told him that." Blake replied in response to Leanne's look.

"Well, as much as I'd love to stay here, we are going out to work out."

Hunter firmly took Blake's hand and dragged him outside. "We could have invited her." Blake said quietly still allowing Hunter to drag him out to the fields.

The older boy released his grasp. "Look just because you like her doesn't mean she has to follow us."

Giving a small shove to his brother Blake announced, "No I don't like her. Being nice doesn't mean you like someone."

Smirking Hunter playfully shoved his little brother back, "Sure it does."

"Does not."

"Does too."

"Does not."

"Does too."

And with that the two boys started wrestling.
