Kate rubbed his back, "My love, nothing will happen if you do not get this in a month. You do only what you can at your pace. It has taken me twelve years because kids learn slower. You are not a child. You have been disiplined harshly. Do you fear learning? Of course you do. You are going to be alright. If the most you can do is train others to fight no shame in it. You do what you know best. I can only ask is that you try to become a learned gentleman. It is not all important if you don't work as king's guard.  That is alright. I think know more about reading, science, and history this time next year. I will take you with me no matter where I go." Kate looked at the hour glass and it was almost empty on top. "Go and get the others please, dinner is ready."
