Sometimes, she preferred her daughter's behave like this only. Free of the royal rules and disciplines , without those heavy responsibilities on these little girl's.
Yet, when she realised they were capable and smart to handle all this. She knew they would do the best in their abilities to protect this motherland, just like their father had done all these years.
Besides the third wife,stood another woman dressed in a beige colour cloak , who was the forth wife of the king. The forth wife was the youngest among the four wives and had a soft, innocent nature. Her name was Sara and she was an air element.
Though the woman's harmless appearance, she was actually quite skilled in her control. Mother Sara was the high priest's daughter and had a strong command over her spells and magics.
The two women were partial towards the three princesses and spoiled them equally. They would also be the one to come out as the strictest teachers when teaching the three youngsters.
"Greetings Third mother. Greetings to the forth mother. "
Diana and Esmaray remarked respectively giving each of them a slight bow. While Iah followed to greet her mothers too simply.
The three along with the king walked out of the dining area to wash their hands. It was a small space with a steeper land, designed to let the water our naturally. A pair of servants stood with water pots to help them wash their hands.
When the group of father and daughters walked back into the dining room, Mother Aray had come out of the cooking area too.
"This humble wife greets the emperor."
.Mother Aray curtly greeted , clearly still mad at the king.
"Greetings Second mother."
"Greetings Mother."
The trio greeted their second mother with the same bow.
"Come over."
Mother Aray ushered her daughter's to quickly join in. The king sat at one sight with his daughters while the four wives sat apposite to them.
The dining table was about less than a feet tall. The family were to eat with their legs folded onto the mats spread around the dining table.
"Thank you to the lord for his blessings and mercy."
The family prayed together before they started with their meal. The young princesses waited for their elders to start before they themselves began with the meal.
The morning meal was mostly simple and plain. The meal mainly consisted of vegetables and exotic fruits with a small portion of seafood.
No one was too talk during mealtime thus the time was quiet and uneventful. Though the three little evildoers exchanged glances from time to time,the elder's turned a blind eye to their antics.
The princess were discussing about their next destination they had planned to visit. The princesses decided to search around the green forest to search for spiritual beasts.
The beast found would be given to Esmaray as her companion in the coming future. This would also test their skills to survive in the wilderness.
"I would be out on a visit to the neighbouring land. During this one month ,you three are to remain in the palace and train your spell casting. Your mother's would be teaching you and supervising you throughout this month. I'll personally test your skills after my return."
Helion Moonshail spoke up after they were done with their morning meal.
The king commanded with dominance and coldness. His strict tone indicated his absolute decision. Currently,the man spoke to them akin to commanding his subjects, a father's dotting and gentleness had long diminished.
"Understood father."
The three daughters replied obediently. Though they had thoughts otherwise, they were not stupid enough to reveal that now in front of their father.
And about the training, they would be training their spell casting ability in the forest too.
Hehe.
Everyone left for their duties after they were done. The king would be attending a meeting with the ministers trade and commerce about the recent trades of the kingdom.
The four queens would be preparing for the charity ball held once in every six months. The charity ball this time would be held in the far away kingdom after a month. The wives and daughters of the king were to participate representing their kingdom.
Diana Moonshail along with her two baby sisters matched towards the training grounds. They were to practice their swordsmanship. They would be checking Esmaray's control over her senses too.
The princesses got changed into simple beige tunics with black high knee boots. They each had their hair bind with silk ribbons in a place.
Right now, they had lost all their laid back and playful nature. When they practiced ,they focused all their attention on training diligently. Training was not to be compromised and done with all heart and mind to achieve perfection.
"Let your second sister spar with you. "
Diana Moonshail commanded with indifference. This brat had claimed to have practiced rigorously when she was in the education monestry.
This was now the right time to decipher the reliability of her claim.
"Sure. Second sister, don't worry . I'll go easy on you given how beautiful you are."
Esmaray Moonshail teased with a grin plastered across her face. Shw knew she would be at the losing end but this was a great opportunity to learn from her sister.
Iah had both the brain and talent to defeat a trope of army in a short span. She was known to be decisive and precise in her attacks . Many wanted to spar with her inorder to gain better learning yet her sister would rarely train with others.
She was not an imbecile to pass down such offer.
"I'll be glad to."
Iah Moonshail asserted with a gentle smile at her sister's sweet mouth. She was all aware of how serious she was when training. This lass would apparently last three moves from her.
Diana Moonshail stood a bit far, watching as her sister's exchanged moves. However even before she had turned serious,the spar wae already over.
Diana had actually just lasted a single move from their second sister. This thickhead.
Iah might not have gone easy out of respect for their youngest sister however she had not given her all either. This girl was akin to a ferocious animal when fighting their enemies with enormous strength.
