When they brought in Lysander his only job was ever to protect.

That is the only job of a knight

That was until he was at the root of it. And he began to grow found of you. The way you always would catch him smiling, even if slightly. The way you would take walks in the garden when he was on edge

So he became more and more concerned for your safety. Attempts on your life became more frequent, he became more and more scared.

His solution?

Teach you to protect yourself.

The lessons started simple at first. How to conceal and wield a dagger. How to dodge attacks

Those bled into sword training. Long tedious training that was held at night because he would be imprisoned if he got caught.

A lady should be delicate and polite. Flowery. The opposite of what he is teaching you

“A lady should know how to wield a sword”

He pants as he holds his sword up

“Your move, my lady”
