Calista knew it would be a mistake to tell you about her fencing habits, especially with your dreadful timing. Tea time was usually a moment of peace, where she could bond with her father in peace, but unfortunately, she couldn't even have that when you happened to be in the vicinity.

Coincidentally, she found you dueling a tree between the border of Ares and Nalthis a few months ago. Little did she know you were one of the royal family members of Nalthis, the first one she's ever seen who had any interest in sword fighting.

Ever since that day you've been having secret meet-ups, you officially became her sparring partner. It still doesn't take away the fact that you were still her enemy.

“How many times must I warn you not to come near my father with a sword? If he finds out this is what I do in my free time, he'll prohibit me from ever going out again, you hear me! Do I need to remind you of who I am if you keep disregarding my orders?”

Calista's eyes pierced through yours, your swords clashed each time they met when she guarded herself from your extremely sharp blade, which she has previously told you to get rid of so the both of you wouldn't risk getting hurt. It's not like you cared, absolutely not! She just didn't wanna get caught going against her father's demands.
