Ever since the night that Ellie made a move with Nathan, their relationship had been going the way they planned for it to go -- the love came naturally from both parties without it being forced. She also succeeded in visiting him in the forest without being caught or any harm happening to her. She felt like she was over the moon(maybe her dad's absence wasn't so bad after all). And what made it more interesting was that her father still hadn't returned even after 7 days -- although there was nothing for her and her mother (and the entire kingdom of course) to worry about because he sent letters to them.
Even her training was also going well with Kenan. She had now become perfect in horse riding and had already begun her training in sword fighting -- which was the only training she longed for.
