Fairytails are just as True

Nina glanced between the two fighting and the courtyard for a safe place to watch. After a moment of looking around she sighed and just leaned against a nearby tree.

The sparring continued until Ellona finally disarmed Kasey.

"Very good" Kasey smirked.

Nina had taken a few steps forward when it sped up a bit, in slight awe. They could get pretty fast. She wasn't paying attention to the sword that the man had lost though and yelped when it came flying down and landed centimeters from her. She covered her mouth as soon as the yelp had come. 'oops...' she thought, glancing up slowly to the other two in the courtyard.

Kasey and Ellona both looked over. "Sorry" Ellona called.

"Are you alright miss?"

"Uh,um it's ok. I should have been paying more attention." Nina said, blushing in embarrassment.

Kasey stepped over and picked his sword up. "My apologies miss. I am sorry to scare you like that"

"It's all right. More surprise then anything, I assure you." Nina said, feeling more embarrassed. She really should have been paying more attention. "I'm sorry, I'm probably interrupting your practice. I'll just...go..." she said awkwardly and tried stepping around Kasey.

"You don't have to leave. If you want to watch go ahead, just stay out of the way" Ellona stated.

"Manners your highness."

Nina raised an eyebrow. "Ohh, so you're the princess." Nina said, looking over at her. "Which must makes you," she said and looked back at the man in front of her. "the infamous Kasey."

"Guilty I suppose" Kasey smiled giving a bow.

Nina smiled. "Well it's nice to meet you both." She said giving a small bow. "I'm Nina Hallins."

"A pleasure" Kasey smiled, kissing the back of her hand.

Nina beat down her blush. "heh...So what were you teaching her highness? Are you guys done yet?"

"Just some fencing." Kasey replied. "So she will be ready in any circumstances."

"Ohh." She said glancing over at the princess. "She seems very...capable." Nina said. "Are you guys done for now?"

"I suppose. It isn't anything that we couldn't finish later." Kasey replied. "Do you need an escort?"

Nina nodded. "Why yes, an escort would be wonderful." she said, smile still in place. She felt very accomplished for some reason.

"Then allow me to be your guide, M'lady" Kasey smiled

Nina wrapped her arm around his. "Ok! What's first then?"

"Where ever the lady would like to see first." Kasey replied.

Nina laughed lightly. "Well. . . I want to see everything. This place is so big and it has so much in it, I don't know where to start."

"I'm afraid parts of the castle are restricted" Kasey replied, "but We can start with the main hall and work our way from there, how about that?"

Nina pouted before nodding. "Oh I suppose that's alright." She said playfully. "So tell me about yourself. Do you live here in the palace?"

"Most of the time" Kasey replied. "I train her highness and her younger brother."

"And he helps with the army's training since they're all incompetent morons."

"You're highness-"

"You know its true"

"I was just going to say that that isn't a very princess like to say."

Nina 'ohh'ed. "They're just full of themselves. They think just because they were selected to be part of the royal army they're good enough as they are." She said, looking out the windows they went by.
