As if from nowhere, Prince Ademar rounded the corner and entered the room where Aurora and The traveler now stood. Aurora and the Prince knew each other very well, for they had long since known each other, even as friends, for the longest time. Ademar was very close to Princess faith even when Aurora had first been named her handmaiden all those years ago. He placed a hand on Aurora's shoulder as he walked in from behind her. She was startled at first and as she turned and went wide eyed at who it was she immediately bowed in respect and curtsy. But Ademar only smiled, "Now now Aurora...what have i told you about that" He almost chuckled as she stood straight up again and she almost lunged at the prince with a large embrace, she had not seen this friend in quite some time. Ademar smiled and embraced her back, he too was now wearing his royal armour and once the embrace was broken he looked down to her. "My dear friend, would you please inform Lady Faith that I am here...me and the new Captain will be on the grounds...training" -a sly smile played across his face as he looked up now to the armour adorned knight. awaiting a response from his stunned figure.

Sir Drake looked over Aurora's shoulder and saw Prince Ademar appear. His eyes widened in surprise and bowed courtly to him. "Prince Ademar! I will be honoured to train with you. Lady Aurora has been most kind to me" he looked to her and smiled as he inclined his head to her in acknowledgement. He looked back at the Prince and admired his stance and appearance - his armour was certainly most impressive, and obviously royal, judging from the beautifully adorned metal.

Aurora was an extreamly patient person, but she stood there as the knight put on the rest of his attire. Once he finished she spoke to him once more. "As you wish it My Lord. I shall tell My Lady at once of your decision. I know in my heart that she will be pleased." She stood there for about halk a second longer before she turned her elegant figure around to walk outside when she caught a glimpse of dazzling colors of clothing and so very properly dressed. Her hazel green eyes didn't even look up at the person, she merely gave a small curtsie and was about to leave when the deep, all too familiar tone of voice spoke to her. "Now now Aurora...what have I told you about that?"
Aurora in her excitement and surprise stood straight up again and practically lunged at him with a warm embrace. She smiled at him and realeased him after a moment before he gave her an errand to do. "My dear friend, would you please inform Lady Faith that I am here?" The new captain and I will be on the grounds...training." he gave her a most comforting smile and she bowed gently before him. "Yes My Prince." She said in a calm tone of voice. "I will be more than happy to inform her of your arrival. Excuse me.." With that she turned to leave.
Her tan and gold imprinted gown lightly treaded on the ground behind her as she left. A smiled played on her lips for she loved Ademar's visits. They were always full of fun and adventures. Aurora walked down the long hallways until the guards at the huge double doors at the end of the hall of royal archways, opened the doors for her. Immediately knowing who she was, of course. She walked into the throne room, yet she didn't go down the middle. Aurora went off to the left side of the room for her news was not something for the entire court to hear.
Soon the Lady was informed and a warm smile played on her lips as she dismissed Aurora for the time being. Aurora instinctively went to watch Ademar and his rough training on the soon to be captain.

Ademar took the new knight out to the training grounds and they began to exercise and train. They had been out there all day, riding their steeds, swinging their swords. Ademar told the man he would need to be profficient with a bow as well. "The captain must be unstopable, he must strike fear in the heart of his enemies and love in the heart of those in his kingdom. If you accept this job, and we should accept you for it, you must lay down your freedom to roam the world as a free knight, your loyalty becomes tied to this kingdom untill your dying breath"

Sir Drake followed Ademar outside and trained all day with him, showing his considerable talent with a blade and his riding skills. However, his only weakness seemed to be achery - he had not the unwavering aim of Robin Hood, and he worked hard to rectify his aiming problem. At Ademar's words however, he lowered his bow which he was practising with, and thought. He had always been a free knight and he loved his freedom, but being the captain forever, he found it quite restricting compared to his former life. However, he had always loved this kingdom and it had always been his favourite place - its beautiful scenery and its pleasent people had always appealed to Sir Drake. At last he nodded and said "I accept. I will willingly lay down my life for my kingdom." he smiled and raised the bow again and aimed at the bullseye - he closed one eye and tried to look along the arrow to see where it would hit if he let loose.

Her smile had not faded since she had seen Ademar, he was such a joy to be around. He brought trouble and adventure with him always, yet he was prince, he could get away with anything, yet it was still amusing to see the shocking look on peoples faces to know that the prince is not as perfect as he is said to be. She was leaning up against the banister that allowed her to look out into the training square. It was such a lovely day, yet she felt so bored. Being dimissed in the middle of the day always left her with such feelings, especially since she had no warning of the dismissal earlier.
A few hours passed and Aurora had found herself in the library for a while. Her emeral hues gazed outside to see how late in the day it had become. With the slightest sounds of her dress rustling, she rose from the couch where she had been seated and made her way to the square. Surely they would have to be done with their training for now. Seeing the sweat glistening off both of them was making her lightheaded, but she kept herself. They were both out of her league.
"Ademar, My Lady was more than pleased to know that you've arrived, I'm sure she will send word to speak with you soon" It was all Aurora spoke though, she didn't want to be a bother if they were still somewhat training. She got off the grounds, last thing she needed was to be grazed by a stray arrow.

Ademar Smiled at the mans acceptance, if he was trustworthy, it would mean the better protection of the kingdom that held most of his friends and loved ones. Ademar and the knight trained all through the day, but sat down on a few bails of hay to rest as the sun began to set in the dark orange sky. Ademar looked up as he cought his breath, only to have it taken away from him again. The lovely Aurora had come onto the grounds to speak with him and he had to admit with in himself, every time he laid eyes upon her, the more he truly began to notice her true stunning beauty.
"Ademar, My Lady was more than pleased to know that you've arrived, I'm sure she will send word to speak with you soon" he smiled and stood."Thank you Aurora, I await to speak with her" Ademar and Sir Drake went intot he stables and tended to their horses and cleaned them. Ademar then went into his chambers and bathed himself and got dressed in his finest he had with him, and then went about romaing the halls.
The young prince smiled as he saw just the girl he was looking for walking down the halls infront of him. He snuck through a secret passage in the wall and into the servants halls, he got ahead of Aurora and waited in the doorway of the servants entrance, to were she could not see him. As she passed he smiled and spoke up. "Ello Aurora!" -he smiled big and stepped out beside her, hoping he had not startled her, tho he somewhat ment to, just for fun.
