Eleonora's riding lessons went very well. Just like her training progressed quickly. She even took up short sword training as Andrew wanted her to. During that time, Andrew and Eleonora's relationship was also getting better.
Every morning Andrew would come just to pick Eleonora up for breakfast. He would then leave Eleonora after breakfast to do his mountain of work at the office. Once noon came Andrew would reappear and take Eleonora to the stables, around the grounds and sometimes in the forest behind the castle. In the afternoon Andrew would practice swordplay and teach Eleonora some defensive moves using a short sword.
"Your skills have developed very well now, Eleonora. I didn't expect you to be able to knock me down in a few months." Andrew praised Eleonora.
"That's because it was you I was fighting. If it had been anyone else, I would have been knocked down!" Eleonora said irritably.
