The knights eventually bowed in front of Celea.
Celea took off her mask and hood.
Shock. Murmur.
"He is a she?"
"WHILE I'M YOUR COMMANDER, YOU WILL NOT ONLY GAIN THE SKILLS OF A KNIGHT BUT ALSO THE MENTALITY OF ONE. REMEMBER—BEING A KNIGHT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT SKILL, BUT ABOUT WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE, WHAT YOU THINK, AND WHAT YOU SHOW THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS. ON THE BATTLEFIELD, WE WILL BE EACH OTHER'S SHIELD, AND IF WE CAN'T ACT LIKE COMRADES, WE WILL SURELY LOSE THIS WAR. WILL YOU LET THAT HAPPEN, OR WILL YOU TRAIN TO BECOME TRUE WARRIORS?!"
"WE WILL BECOME WARRIORS!!!"
Shouting.
"THEN LET US START TRAINING!"

*frown*
What is she doing? Why did she have to take off her mask in front of so many men? I can see them drooling from here. Didn't I want her to take it off from the beginning? Why am I mad about it now…
"Earth to Claus." waves hand in the air
"What do you want? Get lost."
"How can you say that to your dear friend?" fake sad voice and face
"You really hurt my feelings, you know that?"
ignores
"Just where are you looking with so much focus?" proceeds to go to the window where Claus is
"Oh, who is that beauty? Is she a new knight?"
Claus's red eyes get darker while staring at him.
"The knights also seem to like her…"
He realizes Claus is staring at him with a very angry expression.
I fucked up…
"You know what? I just remembered I have something important to do somewhere far away from here, so… I'll leave now." nervous
*door opens*
* door closes*
"Why is she so touchy with them?!" angrily says Claus while looking at Celea training the knights through the window.
"Alright everyone, training's over!"
"I want you on the training ground tomorrow at 6."
"YES, COMMANDER!" (knights)
"Now go rest."
murmur
"My whole body hurts."
"Mine too."
"Yeah, I can't believe she fought all of us with such ease."
knights leave the training ground
sigh "It's gotten pretty late… today is the day, huh…"
She left the training ground.
Celea finally entered her room in the middle of the night, and all she could think about was sleep. It had been a very tiring day. Half-asleep, Celea let her guard down in the room and took her cape off, then proceeded to take off her sweater. She turned around and almost had a heart attack.
"Jesus Christ! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Celea flinched and put her hand on her heart, letting her sweater fall back down.
"If I knew you liked this room so much, I would've taken another one. Is this your creepy way of telling me to leave this room?"
3 hours ago
"Where the fuck does she think she's going? Is she going to meet a man? Is this why she hates me so much—because she loves someone else? It's definitely a man. Why else would she leave at this hour?"
"YOU ARE MINE!!"
The king then went to her room and waited for her to come back.

You are finally here… She didn't see me?
Claus was sitting behind the desk in her room, watching Celea like a predator.
*angry*
Just what got you so tired that you couldn't feel my presence? WHO GOT YOU THIS TIRED?!
Celea took her cape off, and Claus was now able to smell her. His red eyes grew brighter, like two garnet stones. Then he smelled it—she smelled like a dragon. Strong enough to know it wasn't a one-time meeting. They definitely lived together and touched each other.
Claus was now livid.
Celea started undressing, and Claus lost the tiny bit of control he still had.
"Jesus Christ! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
stare
"If I knew you liked this room so much, I would've taken another one. Is this your creepy way of telling me to leave this room?"
Claus got up and walked towards her without hesitation.
"What are you—" Before she could finish her sentence, Claus hugged her lower back with one hand, pulled her as close as possible to him, put his other hand behind her head, and kissed her.
