When Primrose opened her eyes, the sun was already sinking behind the horizon. She rubbed her eyes slowly and realized that Edmund must have kissed her in her sleep every half hour so she could stay asleep even without him channeling his magic into her body.
He had even placed a blanket over her so she wouldn't get cold while he trained the soldiers at the training grounds.
She vaguely remembered that before she drifted off, Edmund had mentioned he would conduct the royal guard's test for Callen. She had wanted to stay awake to watch it, but sleepiness had taken over her, and she completely missed it.
Now, she saw Callen sitting on the ground, clutching a red ribbon in his hand, staring blankly into the sky.
Edmund once told her that the royal guard's test wasn't as complicated as it sounded. The only thing the soldiers had to do was snatch the ribbon tied around the Lycan King's arm. If they managed to grab it, they passed.
