"What are we going to train first?" Rue asked as Karl began setting up a new training area within an [Illusionary Domain] in the suite next to his own.
The castle staff were as enthralled as the Palace staff had been by the new facility, and just as horrified by the thought of having to clean it when the training was finished.
The basic setup was the same, but this time, it was themed to match the mountains that they were located in. It was also larger than either of the ones that came before it, with a larger flight obstacle course, and more training scenarios.
In addition to spell targeting, Karl had added combat strategy to lead troops, a financial planning course, and a large open air office area for Prince Lukas to continue her training.
Just because they were considered to be in hiding didn’t mean that she could slack off on her new duties, and the Crown Prince had every intention of ensuring that she was the best trained assistant that anyone had ever seen by the time that they returned.
But Karl had more plans than that.
"I will let Cara lead you through the training today, while I work on some new material for you. I suspect that there is a way for me to either get you some skill points, or to teach you some new spells and skills that will help your growth.
You’re doing very well, but we need to shock the world with your progress when we get back to the Palace." He informed Rue when she arrived for her training.
"Got it, boss. Don’t worry, Cara knows how to do all the things."
Karl smiled at the Princess. Knowing how to do the things was not the problem with letting Cara lead the training.
The problem was that Cara knew too many things.
And, she was terrible about keeping them to herself, instead of teaching them to children much too young to be learning such things.
Cara mentally laughed at Karl’s thoughts. She was younger than Rue was, so what was the harm in teaching the little princess a few more interesting things?
She happily led Rue into the training area, while Karl sat down in the suite to begin working on a way to transform Rue into a proper Shadow Dragon for legitimacy without changing her entire bloodline using [Evolution].
That would be the easiest way, but the Princess had insisted that she didn’t want her bloodline to be changed.
She was capable of attaining a Void Dragon form if he applied the right skills, but the Royal Family were not Void Dragons. Life would have been so much easier if the first skill he made would have turned her into an Epic Grade Shadow Dragon.
It would have given her all the status that she needed in the Royal Court, as there was no real way to differentiate between a Skill that transformed her into the draconic side of her lineage, and an actual evolution.
At least, there was no easy way, and certainly not one that the public would have access to, when it came to testing a Royal Family member’s claims.
As he settled in to work, Prince Lukas came to join him, sitting on the sofa across from Karl.
"What is it that you’re planning for Rue? Do you have a hidden skill that she can learn, like how you taught her one that awakened her class?" He asked.
Karl nodded. "I do. But I’m trying to find a way to get her to shift into a Shadow Dragon, so that she will feel more legitimate to the Royal Family. I could forcefully evolve her, but she didn’t want that. So, I’m trying to find a way to do it with a skill, since the first one I came up with turned her into a Void Dragon, following her Class, not her bloodline."
