Outside in the life-filled garden were three figures, two sitting and one standing. Sipping her tea (Y/N) glanced over at Estarossa and saw him surveying the area to make sure there were no threats. Smiling slightly (Y/N) turned her attention back to her biscuit only to find Arthur kneeling on both knees with an expectant look.

Chuckling, (Y/N) put her hand on top of his head and began to play with his hair, messing it up as much as possible. Arthur gave a content sigh in reply to her touch as he leaned further, though his euphoria was disturbed by a soldier running towards them with an urgent letter in his head.

All three of them looked up towards the approaching soldier as he kneeled in front of them and bowed his head, stretching the letter towards them. 

"My king, my lady, a letter has arrived from the general." The soldier announced, his head still bowed down towards the ground. Both Arthur and (Y/N) got up from their sitting position and walked over towards the soldier as (Y/N) took the letter onto her hands and opened it, and sure enough, it had the generals name

Reading through it (Y/N) could feel herself frowning, though ignored her appearance and dismissed the soldier as he quickly got up and walked away, though not before bowing and saying his goodbyes.

"(Y/N), what's wrong?" Arthur asked his lover, worry clear in his tone. (Y/N) glanced over towards Arthur and looked back towards the scroll. Ignoring his question, (Y/N) walked towards Estarossa as she whispered something to him. Nodding, Estarossa bowed and left quickly back towards the castle. 

Finally deciding to face Arthur, (Y/N) turned towards him and smiled gently, though her eyes had a bit of anger in them. "Nothing much, just have some pests to exterminate. Nothing more." (Y/N) replied dismissively, shrugging and grabbing her teacup gently.

Arthur frowned and walked towards his lover and hugged her by the back. Kissing her on the neck Arthur placed his head on her shoulder as he played with her hair, his face serene. 

"Come on, (Y/N)! You can tell me anything, I promised to help you as much as I could, right? Well, let me help you!" Arthur pleaded as he came closer towards her and looked at (Y/N) straight in the eyes.

Sighing, (Y/N) looked back towards Arthur and gave him a small smile. "The sins are making their way here with one of their friends so I have to keep them away for a bit." (Y/N) responded as she squeezed Arthur's hand.

Getting up from his hold, (Y/N) walked back towards the entrance back to the castle as she could hear Arthur getting up and following her. Getting inside the castle (Y/N) walked down the hallway and towards the training grounds as her eyes started to glow due to the excitement.

"How do you think you can keep them in bay? They're not exactly obedient people you know." Arthur stated as he walked by her side, his face serious. (Y/N) laughed as she glanced down towards Arthur and back up. "Oh, I know that. It's just I like to repeat plans sometimes, nothing more." (Y/N) hummed as the soldiers opened the heavy double doors for them allowing them to enter the noise-filled room as metal and metal clashed together.

Looking around the room (Y/N) smirked and walked over towards the weapon table and picked up a training sword made of wood and began to examine it as she nodded her head and turned towards the training men who stopped what they were doing in the presence of the two.

Smiling at them, (Y/N) walked over at them as she began to examine each one of them. Her eyes were sharp and cold, though her smirk was still there. Coming to a halt (Y/N) pointed her non-dominant hand at a plain-looking young man who was their fighting trainer.

"Young man, would you like to spare with me?" (Y/N) asked him, her wooden sword at her side. The boy looked at her and her 'sword' as he snickered and nodded his head firmly, a smirk replacing his smile. "It would be an honor, lady (Y/N)." The cocky boy agreed as he walked towards her as everyone parted like the red sea.

(Y/N) smirk widened as he saw the display the young man made. "You have some excitement, you boy. Though, please take your time, I barely ever fight with a sword." (Y/N) stated as the wooden sword was still by her side. The young man saw this and chuckled. 

'She doesn't even know how to use a sword properly, want can she possibly do, poke me?' The young man thought as he got in his fighting stance and looked directly and the relaxed female. Another boy came out of the group as he walked towards the two and started to count from ten down to zero. Once the counter came to zero the young boy launched himself at her ready to end the supposedly easy fight, though to his surprise this fight was not even easy, it was impossible.

By the time he got even an inch closer than she would have liked he could feel the wooden sword pierce through his heart as the pain was momentary as his body fell limb as the wooden sword was still going through his heart. 

Tossing the dead boy aside (Y/N) coldly looked at the others and she wiped away the blood from the sword onto the closest man to her on which was the dead boy's next friend. 

Once she was done cleaning her wooden sword (Y/N) put it back to her side as she looked back towards the scared soldiers and gave them a small smile.

"You see, boys, the people who are coming here to attack us can easily kill you with such a weak weapon. No matter what never allow them to even have a chance of attacking you. One slip-up is all it takes for your life and the life of others to die as fast as a candle." (Y/N) declared. Walking back towards the weapon table (Y/N) placed the wooden sword back as she walked towards the door and out leaving the scared soldiers along with the dead body.

Arthur followed (Y/N) as he arrived at her side and gave (Y/N) a comforting hug. "Don't worry about anything (Y/N), I know we will win this no matter what." Arthur whispered as he snugs himself closer at her.

"My queen, I have told the training soldiers all that they need to know." Looking being her (Y/N) saw Estarossa there in a kneeling position as his head was down. Nodding, (Y/N) walked over towards him and patted his head making him smile.

"You did good, Estarossa. Rest now, we have a long day tomorrow." Doing as she said Estarossa nodded and got up from his kneeling position and bowed his head in respect and left.

Looking back up towards (Y/N), Arthur could see her worry as she thought about what she should do next, though Arthur got herself out of it.

"You did good as well, (Y/N). We all should rest." Arthur stated as he began to guide (Y/N) towards their shared room. Nodding absentmindedly (Y/N) followed him as she finally decided to allow her emotions to surface as she could feel a tear slid down her cheek as she quickly wiped it away and looked towards the open windows.

'A lot of shit happened these past few days and I don't think I can bundle up everything now. So many things, from betrayal to having a lover I feel like I have fully lived life in the most negative way possible'
