Ramses,
The king panted as she narrowed his eyes at his opponent, who was panting as well.
He had never thought that teaching his sweet wife fighting and how to carry a sword would be such a challenge.
Akila, in the beginning, was uncertain and scared of the wooden sword she was holding, but when she saw how serious the king was, she gave it all she got.
He thought that he won't scare her and take it easy, but his woman had surprised him by using all her strength against him.
He was fascinated by how fast she learned and how easily, naturally; she looked holding her sword now.
Ramses smirked when he saw her taking a fighting stance when he was eyeing her intently.
The girl narrowed her eyes and held her sword the way he taught her and waited patiently.
"Defense isn't always the right choice. You need to attack as well. Sometimes being in defense can be your weakness, and it gives your enemy the opportunity to catch you off guard."
