The princesses’ guards were considered the best of the best. A group of 2nd and 3rd-grade warriors, all talents in their own right. Many being holders of unique gifts and some with the ability to contend with those of a higher stage.  Which made Aivas’s ability to sneak away from such people mind-boggling. At least for normal people… If one …

Illos shook his head watching his daughter be led back through the castle gates. A common enough scene for him. Aiva, his third child, was always being chased by her retinue of guards.

Ianna sped past maids and butlers on her way to the throne room. Running fast curtains blew in her wake and maids were pushed to the side.
