Training grounds

"Emporer and Empress", Felix asked when he saw Athena and Deimos at the training ground

"Good morning", Athena greeted Felix

"What brings our beautiful lady to this dirty ground?". Felix asked as he took Athena's hand and kissed it

"I just came to see how I can help with the training", Athena said as she smiled at Felix

"Well, is there anything you see that needs your attention and how can we help you solve it?", Felix asked

"Well, I've noticed that you need another supply of swards and arrows and also it looks like the knights are divided", Athena said

"You really do have a good eye, well, most knights prefer using swords than bows and others prefer the opposite", Felix explained

"Yes, but by now the enemies are familiar with what the knights are good with which means that it's easier to take down", Athena said to him

"Well that is true, but it won't be easy to turn everyone into the best knights of the century overnight your Majesty", Felix said looking at Deimos and giving him the "right?" look

"It's not like there is going to be an attack anytime soon and also, I don't want you to turn them into professionals, it's best that they at least learn the basics and learn how to defend against different types of knights, I'll personally take care of their training if you feel like you're not the man for the job", Athena said

"No, no, no, he'll do it", Deimos said and he took Athena's hand in his

"Are you sure?"Athena asked

"Very", Deimos said and looked at Felix

"I'll do it", Felix said quickly

"Great, then I'll send the training weapons and training plans soon", Athena said with a pleated look

"But Empress, what if we were to get attacked soon, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage since the knights are now getting into a new routine?" Felix asked

"Who in their right minds would attack the north without trying to kill or replace Empress first?", Athena asked Felix

"Wait, so you're saying that there might be an attack, but that's only after you're dead or replaced?", Axel asked

"Or at least they will try, it was nice talking to you Felix, Deimos let's go", Athena said and started walking.

Deimos who was still holding her hand followed her

"You cannot train the knights under any circumstances", Deimos said to Athena

"I hear you", she said to him

"Are you not going to disagree with it?", Deimos asked

"It's not like it's a command, you're doing it for my safety and so I will oblige to your wishes, if it were a command then I would have become a knight in this exact instance", Athena said

"Understood", Deimos said. Sometimes his wife was so cold, but he knew that she was the only one who could understand him
