A shadow immediately cast itself over Azel's expression as he regarded her. "I see," he mused, a hint of an unamused smirk gracing his lips. "He must have had an abundance of free time on his hands for him to devote so much of it to instruct you."
Adelia pursed her lips to suppress a smile; she then stood up after ensuring she had picked up all the bow shafts, and faced him.
"Prince Reagan was simply being considerate," she explained. "Personally instructing me was a way to demonstrate his sincerity."
Azel arched an eyebrow. "So he would leave the capital and the palace to come here every day just to teach you?"
Adelia bit her lower lip lightly. "Not every day... but at least four to five times a week."
He scoffed. "So he had only three or two days to himself?"
Adelia shifted her weight nervously. "...Yes," she admitted, "most of the time."
