When you start enjoying sothing, ti flies fast. I spent a good ti with Nickolas talking about everything and nothing, naming the clouds and eating delicious food.
"I have good news for you, Abi," he said when we stood up to go back. But he was not looking at all happy
I looked at him to check if there really was news or was he playing a prank on ?
"You have been promoted as a squire, soon" he said with a smile and I blinked.
Though it could be a matter of happiness, sowhere I had thought that they would promote as a knight since I was already the winner of knight's competition. would nt crown prince announce as his knight soon?
"Who will I serve, brother?" I asked, as this was the most important thing. though i knew who it could be
"Well. since you are training under Noah, he would be the one you would serve." there was a hint of irritation in his voice and so did mine.
We just had two continuous argunts and even if we had apologised in the morning, there was no doubt that I had denied taking training from him.
But as if i reminded sothing, i looked at Nicholas and asked,
"Brother, did Noah know about it?" I asked and as expected he shook his head.
If he would have known this he would not have co to apologise to .
A crooked smile ford on my lips as the idea ford in my mind.
"Brother, you don't need to worry about informing him, i want to share this news to him personally" he looked a bit upset with the statent yet he nodded.
"Brother, you did not like Noah?" I asked, as he always behaves strangely when it cos to him.
"I don't know, Abi. but you always give a lot of importance. I know sword wielding too. I have a whole troop under too. And I am good at training the new knights too." he said as if he was trying to prove himself better.
I was dumbfounded for a mont when I felt that he was jealous.
"Then why don't we do one thing?" I knowingly dragged the sentence.
"Yes, say it"
"Why don't you help in improving my skills. Since i would serve as squire my training would not be like before, and i have always admired your skills to use dagger.'' I said with admiring eyes.
His eyes twinkled as he bead. His ears turned red but he was looking very satisfied with my decision.
"Of course, I will teach you anything you want. In fact, I can teach you so sneak attacks and quick tips too" he said with a bright face.
"Oh, really. That would be a great brother. I will look forward to the training then."
Listening to my praises and looking at my admiring eyes, his face brightened as if he had found a whole new world.
"Good, then go ahead and inform Noah. So that you can get your position as his squire soon." he said, hiding his red ears and turning his voice neutral.
I nodded and soon we both went back to the training ground.
Noah was sitting and chatting with his fellow knights when I reached the area where he trained his knights. Jane looked at and smiled. She is the only other female knight that was under him, so she was the one who was most upset when I left.
Other knights who were training looked at too. They are all surprised to see . Yesterday when I had said that I would not need him as a trainer anymore. They all were there, so they were not hoping to see back this early.
"I am here to pass a ssage by the commandant." I said in a grave voice.
Noah, who was sitting there casually turned alert at my words.
"Yes, go on. What is it?" he asked seriously and I looked at his friends.
Taking my indication they all nodded to him and left the ground. He then looked at again as if waiting for to continue.
"I told the commandant that you are not comfortable to train , therefore they should change my trainer." his eyes widened listening to my sentence. As if he was not expecting to go and complain to my father.
"When have I ever said that? Just in the morning I apologised to you. What else do you expect to do?" he asked in a tone as if he could not believe what I had said.
"I know. But I have requested before that, and since my father has already accepted that it is final. Nickolas would be the one to train from now.`` I replied in a low voice and he stood up abruptly.
"So you are here to tell that you are leaving this place, finally. And here I thought that you are a reasonable person. I even decided to apologise to you." he said, shaking his head as his hands clenched.
"You apologise to privately while you insulted publicly. You always behave rude to .`` I protested but he just chuckled, his voice was full of anger that he was trying to suppress.
"So you an it is all my mistake. Fine.. call everyone that was here. I will apologise to you publicly, and then you would go and request your father to cancel this order." he said through gritted teeth.
"Why are you taking so much trouble just to train when you did not want to train in the first place? You should be happy that I am going. Then why are you even ready to apologise to in front of everyone?" I was surprised. Though I was teasing him, I had never thought that a prideful man like him would be ready to apologise to in front of everyone.
"Because you are special"
