Efemare territory was remarkably well off, although they did not bother themselves with trying to organize knight training. Simply said, they knew better than to compete with Perserios territory and their top-of-the-lines instructors that were known to host private lessons for high nobility.
What the Efemare family would do instead was get their knights trained in their neighbor's territory and create a friendly relationship. Because of that policy, the previous head of the Efemare family became friends with the previous head of the Perserios family.
In short – Efemares were smart and sneaky.
If only they had a male heir that was close enough in age to the daughter of the Perserios family, they would definitely receive an offer of marriage – they were just that close.
And if that scenario would be the case, then having the Perserios family lend some of the instructors to the Efemare territory could not be easier.
Yes.
