Book 3.5: Chapter 7
Children always grow up really quickly. Troy was already a small cute prince!
“Good morning, mommy.”
“Good morning, son.”
Vyvyan smiled and kissed her son’s healthy lips. Being able to kiss her son on his lips while embracing him was a beautiful start to their days. Although Troy is already eight, he still sleeps holding his mom which made Vyvyan very happy. She couldn’t sleep without her son. She was worried that her son would leave her once he grew up. She cried every time she thought about it. However, she was glad to see that her son couldn’t leave her either!
“Mommy……”
Troy hugged Vyvyan around her neck like a spoilt child and kissed his mom on her lips. Vyvyan cheerfully stroked her son’s head, touched her forehead to his, smiled and said: “It’s time to get up, son, otherwise mommy will have to lie in bed with you for the whole morning. Son, isn’t it time you start attending swordplay lessons?”
Troy pouted and unhappily said: “Don’t wanna… Learning swordplay is tiring, and I have to get hit too… It hurts… I don’t wanna learn it……”
He stubbornly tucked himself into his mom’s arms, hiding into his safest haven.
Swordsmanship was a necessary skill for elves to learn. A king must not only govern the nation, but must also stand at the forefront when it comes to battles. Even elves who can use magic must undergo strict sword training. An elf king must be able to wield a sword to be a qualified elf king.
