As the week progressed, it became more difficult for Trixie to sneak off to train in private with Lamya. The estate was filled with all sorts of people; from volunteers and staff sent from the castle by the king and queen for who knew what reason, to visiting merchants and nobles who were seeking Emericks favor by any means possible. There was even the occasional would-be suitor that turned up seemingly out of the blue.
'This is getting rediculous!' Trixie thought inwardly to Lamya as she was pushed aside by a self important noblewoman who had come up to the estate in hopes of calling on Emerick that morning, only to be turned away by Jacoby.
