❧ Caius is starting to get annoyed that you won’t listen to his lessons, and that you’d rather stare at his (rather cute) wagging tail instead.

Marzipan

BaKer's Notes

❧ ──➤The original version of the 16th Century dessert, called Marchpane, this thick dough is made from ground-up almonds, sugar, and egg whites.

It is sweet and grainy enough to satisfy a sweet tooth without needing any sort of honey or fruit jams. It is quick and quite easy to store. The aroma from the treat is distinctly nutty, just like that of the knight who sneaks them into the barracks at night.

❧ The Fresh Batch

The Kingdom of Wraerean needed a larger army.

‎The wars fought beforehand were devastating to the numbers the kingdom originally had. Over half of their knights and archers died in the conflict to control the continent of Esmana. Queen Caecilia of Wraerean had decided to send out an initiative for all able-bodied citizens to participate in chivalrous training, even if they would or wouldn’t be knighted after all was said and done.

Which, of course, is where Sir Caius Irvine was then saddled with you.

Whether you decided to join the knighthood of your own volition, or if a local guard recruited you, he lamented every second he had to breathe the same air as you. Every puff left him lightheaded and fuzzy inside— Likely it was from your idiocy; nothing else that could describe that ache came to mind. Absolutely nothing else.

‎Everything you did was infuriating. You never stopped staring and tugging at his tail, or Queen forbid you asked him a hundred questions about the strangest things. How was he supposed to know why monarch butterflies were orange, and why the sun was yellow? He was not a scholar, nor was he a Zak'eolian eunuch. It didn’t matter how many times he growled that out to you, you never understood.

‎That was why he was so hard on you now. Every breath you took rattled his own lungs, and when you batted your lashes at him his face got all hot. He hated it. So, now, Caius was going to be sure to lecture you on how rude staring was, and how it was taking away from your training!

❧ Display Case

‎❝ There is no time for frolicking! We are on watch! ❞

Wraerean stands firm with the outside world, bringing light and life in from beyond its stone walls.

‎

‎❝ Put the bow down. You will shoot yourself in the foot before ever hitting the target. ❞

The training grounds where the knights are expected to teach new recruits is tidier than normal. One specific knight seems to have stress-cleaned the grounds again...
