It was safe to say the spent from sunrise to sunset practicing for 2 days straight. It was extremely exacting. Anna sent all the children to learn. True to his word, they all learned. Anna and the others were allowed to see them in action when Layton was satisfied. "Wow. Maybe we need to throw more tea parties in the future. Nothing says prestige than being generous hosts." Anna said. "All things in moderation, Lady Anna. People might begin to suspect that you have something to hide. And a good ball or tea party costs a fair bit of money." he said with a sigh. Anna shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe we should get the king to throw more. In the 5 years or so that we've known him, he hasn't thrown any. He must really be seething over no one supporting him." she said. The princes were all wearing expensive suits and accessories. They really did look like nobles. "You'll knock them all dead in those outfits. Those tailors really know what they're doing." she commented. Layton rolled his eyes. "Their outfits don't come in until the morning. It's imported silk. Old country."
Yawning, the children were tired out. "I hope the bill was manageable. You concubines get an allowance, but 2 tailored outfits and accessories for a single use sounds like a bad investment to me." Anna said in concern. "It will be worth it's weight in gold. Don't worry, they will be used more than once. Not even I reached that level of waste as a prince, though I did splurge." Layton assured her. If it was assured by him, she was willing to take his word on it. Reilly, Layton and the princes left 2 days later. The trip was slated to be about a week long. Anna was getting a bit bored. She challenged her sigma sons to a spar. She wanted to see what they could do. They had been alpha primes before. They both retained their ability to stun using the alpha stare. They also had the ability to put people in heat. As a Player, her body got hot and sensitive. There was also a pink filter to her vision. Together, they just managed to defeat her. She had been holding back a bit, but Anna had tried to win. She pounced on Rhys and dragged him to her room. They had amazing sex.
Zipping their lips and holding out was never an option. All Anna could do was wait for them all to return. They returned after the week was over. Neither Layton nor Reilly looked happy. Anna sighed deeply after the 3 princes were sent to the guest house. "What happened out there?" she asked. Layton smirked at her. "It was just as you said, Lady Anna. King Percival knew what was going on the moment he saw them. He dragged us to a secure room by the arms right in front of everyone. He was rattled beyond belief and demanded us to tell him how we got in the forbidden section of the royal library." he said. Reilly cut in with "He used his sigma powers and fingered us to get the answer. I hate it when he does that!" Layton shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not a fan of it either, but that's how all alpha nobles behave. I was in the middle of the story though." he said. Reilly apologized. "It was easy to prove that we had never been to the royal library. I am blind and have no use for most books. Reilly has always put his athletic pursuits over scholastic ones." he continued.
