When Kaizan couldn't take it anymore, he got up. He had to visit Olivia else he was going to go mad. He would only see her once and then he would return. Kaizan picked up his jacket that was thrown on the back of his table and walked out of his chamber. On the way he met Finn. 

"M'lord," Finn bowed to him. 

"Who have you sent to train with Olivia?" he asked as he walked past him. 

"Vrig and Noq." 

Kaizan came to a sudden halt. What? "Vrig and Noq?" They were the handsomest, virile soldiers in the training house. They were chosen by Ileus to head the training center for a reason—marketing. The young girls looked at them and fluttered their eyes and sighed. Many had expressed their wish to get married to them. And this kind of a life was a dream for other young boys who then recruited for the army signing a bond of five years to remain in the army after training. The sly wolf had learnt these tricks from a different realm and it always worked. And these two—epitome of handsomeness, were sent to train his wife? Kaizan's gaze turned murderous. His fists clenched hard and his features became angular. 

The next moment Finn saw his General running out of the office building. Finn rushed after him with a flustered mind to ask if he had done wrong, but by the time he was at the entrance, he heard Butterfly neighing and galloping in the carriageway with his Master on the back. All the men who were there jumped out of the way for him to run. Finn scratched his head with confusion. What the hell happened to his General? He shook his head and then walked back to his office chamber. Why was it that these days his General was so crabby whenever he was in the office? Just yesterday he had shouted at a servant for not spilling tea on his table. Finn was afraid that Kaizan's beast was taking over his senses slowly. 

When Kaizan reached his estate, he galloped his horse all the way to the training house.

When Bernice came down with Olivia, Noq and Vrig, she was breathing heavily, her lungs on fire, her skin flushed. She was shooting dark glares at Olivia who was also panting but not as much as her. The two trainers asked them to do exercises before starting the training. Olivia was so exhausted that she shook her head. "I can't. I need to calm down a bit before I will pick the sword up." She went to sit on the long stone bench that was constructed on the left wall. Tall arched glass windows spanned all across the training house and one could clearly see the lush greenery on the outside. Since it was pretty sunny and the ground was damp, the coolness of the breeze was soothing after their jog up and down the hill. Bernice couldn't help but wonder how rich Kaizan was. His estate had hills and groves and she hadn't even seen it all. Her eyes went to her cousin who was the one who eventually benefitted. Her fists clenched as her nails dug in her palm. Soon… soon she would throw her like a fly from milk. 

Bernice sat on the bench with her shoulders slumped and her hands on her thighs. When she looked up next, she saw that Olivia was doing some exercises along with the two trainers. The trainers were barely a step away from her and she hoped that Kaizan came to notice this scene. They touched her hands and back to show her the positions. All of a sudden, she heard clomps of hooves. She gazed outside the window and saw a very handsome Kaizan galloping on his horse with his eyes fixed on the training house. A smile came on her lips. 

Kaizan stopped his horse right in front of the entrance and opened the door with a loud bang. Everyone halted in their movements and they whipped their heads to look at him. But Kaizan—he was burning with so much fury that he saw red. His gaze went to Olivia. Even though she was fully covered in the dress he had taken out for her, she looked beautiful. Her curves showed lasciviously. This was what he feared the most. The trainers, Vrig and Noq, were too close to her. Noq's hand was on her forearm. He growled dangerously. Noq's eyes became wide with fear and he left Olivia's hand. 

A soft laugh from the side came. "General Kaizan, welcome to the training session," Bernice said to fuel his temper. "This is the training going on for quite some time now." She pointed at Olivia and Noq. She shook her head in disdain. 

Kaizan's jaws clenched. He walked to where they were all standing. "Olivia." 

Noq and Vrig bowed to him. "General." 

For the fear that he would look meddlesome, he asked a casual question, "How is the training going on?" 

"We have just started," Vrig replied with confidence. 

"I am not sure if you both are fit enough to train her," Kaizan said derisively as his breath came out ragged. 

"They aren't only coaching her," Bernice interrupted. "They are all touching each other and having fun." 

"What? Are you mad Bernice? Did you forget the uphill run?" Olivia snapped. 

"Oh, the one in which you made sure that you left me behind and went uphill with these men?" Bernice smirked. 

"Bernice!" Olivia shouted. 

Kaizan came behind her, held her by her waist and pulled her against his chest. The moment he held her against his chest, the anxiety that had swelled in his chest, ebbed a little. He buried his face in her hair and smelled her and he calmed more. Moments later, his shaky breath became steadier. He didn't know how he was appearing doing all that, but when he looked up, he found his men staring at him like he had grown two horns on his head. Well, fuck them. He repeated his words, "You both are not fit enough to train a warrior like Olivia." He ignored Bernice. 

"Wh—why?" Vrig asked him, confused as hell. 

"Because my wife is a natural born warrior. I have seen where her talent lies," Kaizan replied, imagining her on the bed in the nightgown he had imagined for her, beneath him. Her talent lied in seducing him even when she was away from him. "And so, I have decided that according to her natural born talent, Finn will teach her. He knows her the best." Or me. Most likely me. 

Vrig's mouth fell to the floor. "Commander Finn? But he is an extremely busy man." 

And he is older than you too. And he is married with a healthy number of five kids. And he loved his wife. But you bastards—you were what Ileus had hired you for—seducing machines. 

"I have talked to Finn about it," he lied through his teeth. In fact, he was going to scold him the moment he reached office tomorrow. "Your work is done over here. You both may leave." 

Too bewildered, the trainers nodded. 

Kaizan became aware of Bernice standing at the side. "Since both of you have time today, you can teach my wife's cousin. She is too eager to be trained." 

"I— No!" Bernice squeaked.
