Looking back into the Training Grounds, I saw that everyone was gathering. Moving towards my mother, I stayed quiet, listening.
"So, since it seems we all have a lot of... energy today, why not do some light exercises? It has been awhile since I sparred with you, Chordeva. It would be quite a learning experience for the children to."
Hearing the Empress' proposition, the Marquess sighed, looking at the Countess. Seeing her nod, she turned back to the Empress, a wry grin on her lips.
"Go easy on me, yeah?"
Chuckling, the Empress stood in the center of the grounds, everyone else moving towards the sides.
Getting into a stance, the Marquess waited for a signal.
"Come now, Chordeva. You know better. Start when you are ready."
Hearing that, the Marquess sighed again before her body flickered.
Widening my eyes, I watched as she disappeared from where she stood and reappeared behind the Empress.
