Stella was still puzzled as they were led to the training grounds. She realized that the main purpose of the royal family's secret visit was actually the duel. Hendrick assured her that she had nothing to worry about. But Hendrick saying something like that only made her worry more.
'Are they going to start the training now?'
She was both scared and excited to watch at the same time. After all, Hendrick was a hard worker. He trained early in the morning every single day. Sometimes he doesn't even sleep because he studied way too much and still had to go to training from dawn. Sometimes the duchess had to scold Hendrick and had to make him drink a relaxing tea and add sleeping incense in his room just for him to sleep.
