It has been a year since the first time Elias came to study at our estate, and sadly I won't be seeing him as much. The only times he will be able to come by, is to train with me. The Council has decided to pull His Highness from our safety, putting him back into the harsh castle.
I think that it was a warning since they worry that I'm a bad influence on the Prince. It has been a while since I've gone to the castle, a month to be exact. Elias calls me daily, however, he sounds stressed, like everything is closing in on him.
Holding a cup of tea in my hand, I gazed out the window. By the time I brought myself back to the present, the teacup was cool. The smell of mint was strong in the air.
