V2-C28: Class is in Session The night passed without any further events, while Aqua did not return to sleep due to a wish to avoid nightmares, she had still meditated until the morning. She knew that nightmares were only that, a nightmare. However, she wished to avoid experiencing the painful memories of her past when possible. Aqua, you can’t keep running away from them… She had to reassure herself, no matter what. She knew she couldn’t let her bad memories plague her for her whole immortal life. Eventually, she would need to let go, yet it proved impossible. A ray of sunshine hit her face through the window. She grumbled a bit as she opened her eyes. Sun God was nestled next to her as he usually was. She let out a soft moan as she stretched her back before she jumped out of bed. Despite the primitive state of the kingdom, the bed she was given was incredibly comfortable, so she enjoyed sitting on it while meditating. It was not many times that she was afforded an opportunity to relax and clear her mind fully. She approached the window and gazed at the palace courtyard her room faced. “I promised I would teach Azure and Sheira today… I guess Soleah will join us, too.” She interlocked her fingers and stretched again. Knock.Knock.Knock “Yes?” She turned her head toward the door. “It’s me and Azure! We know you missed us!” Sheira’s voice made Aqua’s ears twitch. “Ah, enter.” The door creaked open, and the two elven girls made their way inside. “Sooo are you comfortable~?” Sheira made a smug expression as she approached the bed and sprawled out on it. “Very much so. It is a very comfortable bed, I enjoyed the rest I had.” She smiled warmly. Azure stepped in shortly after with an exhausted expression on her face, “Hey, Aqua… sorry about Sheira, as usual.” It was the first time that Aqua had seen Azure with such an exhausted look. She crossed her arms. “Azure, what is wrong?” “Hah! She is just tired because she got assigned even more training duties in the military, and she spent all night trying to figure out a gift of appreciation for you!” Sheira threw her hands back as she rolled on her stomach. The champion blushed. “Sheira… you didn’t need to tell her that!” “Whoops~” Sheira turned on her back and grinned. Aqua scratched her chin. “A gift? Please do not burden yourself, Azure. Your presence is enough for me.” Azure widened her eyes as her ears twitched in excitement, and her face became even redder as she averted her gaze. “Hah! Mommy really has a way with her words. Should I leave and let you have some private fun in here?” “Sheira, enough! We are here because Aqua has shown immense grace and mercy to train two weaklings like us!” Aqua shook her head. “Azure, why did they give you so many duties?” “I don’t know… All I know is that the council has decided I need to train a new batch of recruits.” “Why? You are the champion, don’t they have a command structure that can cover such a scenario?” She frowned. Is this Lira’s doing again? “I said the same thing… but I can't argue against the council’s orders.” Her shoulders slumped forward. “I didn’t even have a moment of free time ever since we returned from Red Dawn. I really wanted to show you around the palace…” Her expression turned sour. Sheira groaned as she pushed herself up from the bed. “They always had something against my Azu. I really don’t like anyone on it. Especially the spymaster, she is an absolute bitch! “Sheira, that’s not language befitting a princess…” “Hah! I am among friends right now, let me be! I don’t like acting all prim and proper when it’s not an absolute necessity.” With a giggle, Aqua sat on the bed next to the eager Princess. “Are you two ready to practice?” Aqua turned toward Azure, “Azure, we can let you practice another day if you are tired.” In response, Azure merely shook her head, “I wouldn’t miss your lessons even if I collapse.” “Sure…” Aqua puffed out her cheek before raising a finger, “Sheira, your Mom is joining us too.” “The Queen?! Why?!
