"Clang! Shing!" the noise attracted Sasha who was on her way back. She looked out of the open window only to see a sword fight going on in the arena. "Oh, what's that?" she turned to Luc. "It's the Master and the Royal Guard, they're having a training session." He pointed out. "Really? It seems very intense." the sound of swords clashing was so huge and they seemed to be fighting as though in a real battle. "You should see the Master when he's duelling- oh there he is" Arrare clapped her hands in excitement. Orion approached his opponent, the largest among the group of guards and they began to duel. Sasha couldn't help but just stare in awe at the view that greeted her. Both men were shirtless and sweating due to the intensity of the duel. Orion easily had the upper hand. His broad and chiselled upper body glistened in the sunlight and she couldn't help staring throughout. With extremely precise and calculated movements he was able to beat the other man. The other guards cheered when he won and gave the defeated guard a pat on the back. She continued watching the scene when suddenly Orion lifted his head and looked up at her. He spared her a glance and turned away. Flustered, she turned back to the others. "Okay let's go."
... "Where is Miss Sasha?" Orion asked one of the maids when he realised Sasha wasn't coming down for dinner. "Ah, I was informed she would be having dinner in her room instead. "And why did you not bother to make me aware?" he clenched his jaw. "I'm sorry Sire, I didn't think you would be interes-" Orion held up his hand to stop her from speaking further.
"Knock! Knock!" Orion had walked up to Sasha's quarters and knocked on the doors. "Come in" he heard her voice from inside. He walked in and met her stuffing her face with a huge pile of books around her while she was deeply engrossed in one of them. "Ehem!" he cleared his throat.
