she is a girl (no offense towards masculine females),she has a frail and weak body,she can't possibly and miraculously block a sword attack from a man twice her size and height,let alone learn or even master martial arts in 8 days.
And who will give her the guidance she requires in order to learn martial arts?At least,from my perspective,from all the male characters we've seen so far,would any accept her request and teach her martial arts or any fighting skills without thinking:"Why the hell a young girl at this age,who was born royalty,would want to learn martial arts so suddenly?!...."
Besides,even if they accept,or just rejects it,it will still cause them to have curiosity and suspicion towards both her and her actions,and she may be killed once again.I know it's way to ridiculous and I'm exaggerating,but if I were her,in order to survive,I would rather include and think about the possibilities of me being dead again with my doing and actions and be cautious as well as being wary about it.
Sorry if both my opinion and comment turned out offensive,I was trying to say out my opinion. (=・ω・=)
she should just learn martial arts or smth and then when castor swings his sword towards her neck, she will catch the blade. How cool is that?
