Prince Trion's Moonlight Meetings
|
Time: Unknown Rahal S Lebrart, Lord Knight of the Realm (age 31) Princess Claidie I D'Oraguille (age 19) Monarlais Borel M Halver (age 51) Stepping out into the castle hallway, I happened upon Prince Pieuje. He was closer to Prince Trion than anyone else during childhood, so if anyone knew anything about the mysterious lady, it had to be Prince Pieuje. I later discovered that in his early years, Prince Trion was far too skilled with the sword to practice with the sons of nobles his age, and he often chose to duel instead with partners up to ten years older. However, physical differences such as height presented problems. When Curilla's incredible talent was discovered, she was invited to the castle for practice sessions, regardless of her lack of nobility. |
