Louis's horse stopped right in front of Lydia.

"Hey," he said to her as he got off.

She bowed her head in respect for his status.

"Should we skip training today?"

"That'll be better," he excused himself.

Isabelle was all dressed up and an apron was draped over her. Duncan and his staff stood and watched her.

"What should I make?" She asked him as she opened the book he had given to her earlier.

"Lemon cake?" He raised an eyebrow.
