He look left and right, no one was there.

Time to get going, he thought.

“ going somewhere” a voice said. He turned and it was the king. Rowland was getting bored of the palace and was trying to go outside of it.

“ no where, I was just going to the garden to look at the flowers” he said.

“ why don’t we take a stroll around the palace, there are a lot of interesting things you have not yet seen” he said to Rowland.

“ yes Maxw— your Majesty “

“ it is okay to call me Maxwell when it is Just the two of us”

“ Alright "

The king held out his hand and Rowland followed him. There were so many maids and servants moving about as they passed through the hallways and went to another part of the palace. Rowland did not know that such a place existed in the palace.

The guards in the palace were having their sword practice, Rowland had always wanted to learn sword fighting when he was younger. If he were an alpha this was what he would have done.

“ Can I learn too” he ask Maxwell who look at him and smiled.

“ it okay if you won’t allow me to learn, I will just look at them only” he said. I was asking too much from Maxwell, no one would allow an omega to touch a sword, not to talk of practicing with it, thought Rowland.

“ if you are really interested, I could get you a teacher” he said surprising me.

“ really? You would allow me to learn sword fighting?” he ask. Rowland could not believed that the king would allow him to learn sword fighting.

“ I just knew that you would say that you want to learn? You keep amazing me. I like a Queen who can protect himself and his people “ he said.

“ Sir Donald” he called out to one of the Knight who were training. He came over immediately.

“ Yes, your Majesty “ said sir Donald.

“ from tomorrow onward, you are to teach her Majesty on sword fighting “ the king ordered sir Donald.

“ yes, your majesty it will be my pleasure “ he answered and bowed to the king.

“ you can go back to what you were doing” the king said dismissing Sir Donald.

Rowland felt like shouting for joy. Finally he will learn sword fighting even though he is an omega.

They stayed in the practice area for sometime, looking at the sword practice which the king actually joined in while Rowland silently cheered him on and then they practice shooting of arrow. Overall, he was no longer bored, this was something to look out for everyday.

“ that was fun” he said to King Maxwell.

“ I am glad, I could cure your boredom”

“ I was not bored” he lied because he did not want to sound like a damsel in need.

“ that reminds me" king Maxwell said as they moved back to the part of the palace Rowland was familiar with, “ please don’t skip your lectures today “ he said. Rowland could sense the sincerity in his tone. He truly wanted the best for Rowland.

“ sure, I will do my best” He promised. For he allowed me to do the things I wanted, I too want him to be proud of me, thought Rowland.

That day he did his best in the lectures, he forced himself to pay attention. The instructors seemed Happy with him today. The official dates of his wedding was tomorrow. He had to do final dress adjustments. The king has told him many dignitaries were coming tomorrow so that he could be prepared. He did not asked for this but life threw it at him.
