The young knight finally did sleep after figuring out how to write a formal response to the Royal Family's invitation. Though it was only a few hours of sleep, it was enough for him to feel rejuvenated enough to participate in sword practice for a few hours in the evening.
Eventually, everyone else headed to bed except for those who were tasked with night patrol that evening. Henry wasn't one of those people so he decided to continue hitting a practice sword against a wooden dummy until he was satisfied with his accuracy and completely exhausted.
However, his mind wasn't settled at all after receiving such an invite from the Royal Family. Had the king found out about what happened between Henry and the princess?
