"If you believe I will give it to you, you are wrong"

"Let me guess you're gonna throw me a knife, princess?" she laughed, she was making fun of me.

"If you give it to me now I won't have to resort to other systems" continued.

"Contact us Lesso, you know that you cannot bargain with the daughter of a witch doctor"

A few seconds of silence then...

"As I thought, now if you want to apologize I have a lot to do"

She turned and continued in the direction she was going first. I stood there for a while, then headed to the room. And I closed the door behind me.

What had just happened? I could not reflect clearly.

She knew that I had my father's bottle. She knew my father was the shadow man.

The Shadow man, the villain of the fairy tale "The Princess and the Frog" is my father, exactly. Now you are wondering how can a villain's daughter be a princess? It is actually very simple, but I fear that I have to tell you to continue the story of this story.

As you already know my name is Cher Lamorge and I am the daughter of Dr. Faclier, known as the Shadow man.

Before me I think I should tell you a little about my father, heir of a very wealthy large family, who lived very far from the forest, however.

My father was to marry a nobleman already chosen by his family, in particular by his mother, my grandmother Odie, better known as Mama Odie. My father, however, already very stubborn, ran away from home and for unknown reasons and causes he arrived in the forest, where he met my mother. I don't remember much of her sincerely, not even of my father to tell the truth, but this can only be good. My mother was already sick when she met my father, and her health only got worse, until one day she left us.

My father's family who had disinherited him by now, stung at our door, had fallen out of favor and sought help from us. Except that my father sent them away furiously, although I know that Mama Odie was missing a lot.

I could have been around 10 years old, and day by day I was witnessing the transformation of a common doctor, to the dreaded shadow man.

But I was always treated by everyone like a princess, even by him. Don't look at him like a monster, look at him like a father who has lost his wife.

Gradually he became more and more distant, he was missing for months, until one day, he never come back.

He never came back because we all know how the fairy tale of "The Princess and the Frog" ends, the shadow man is taken away by "the friends on the other side".

But maybe he already knew what was going to happen to him, he knew what risks he was taking, that's why he didn't spend much time at home. For this he made sure that in case of danger I could always defend myself. I changed many instructors one more skilled than the other, the best of the whole forest. Because as my father said: "You are an even better princess if you can count, alone and only on yourself, darling".

My life was fine, I often didn't understand why I continued to train, if I had no one to fight against. But it didn't take long to find out. Because upon my eighteenth birthday, a shadow that resembled my father's presented himself to my window. He said nothing, he had a grin in his face that I will never forget, I give myself a box and a letter. After that my life changed.

-------

My darling, princess of my heart, I am infinitely sorry for what happened and I am equally sorry for what I am about to tell you. Despite being very far away, in a horrible place that you will never see for your luck, not all the damage I have done in life has come with me. There is a very dangerous thing with you, a very powerful weapon that can make even purer souls dark. The rumor spread my little one, many know what I created. I hope you are ready for this.

PS. I miss you more every day. I'd give everything I no longer have to be with you right now. I love you.

- Dad

Tears were already flowing to the first line on my face, I hadn't cried even when they told us he was gone. But having confirmation of what had happened to him was something much more overwhelming than knowing that he was dead. Who knows how much that letter had cost him. That letter from beyond.

In the box that had arrived with the letter there was a bottle that contained a blood-colored liquid, I observed it for a while then placed it on a necklace and put it around my neck. I finally understood what my father was training me for.

Two days later my castle was attacked. Many of the villains in the whole forest knew that I had the bottle. Although my efforts totally destroyed my home. I was wanted by all the bad guys now.I changed residence a few times until I settled in a big house on the edge of the forest.

No great villain had ever come looking for me in person, they had sent spies, dark knights even armies. And modestly I had sent their bodies back to their legitimate masters.

I had a goal in my life and had no intention of giving it up.

In fact, it is my father who comes to mind in these moments, but not the man you know, the one I know, always good and loving his only daughter. The only piece of family he had left.

Lunchtime had just passed and obviously I hadn't even bothered to go find the cafeteria. I was not hungry. I didn't know what to do. I was trapped in a oblivion of thoughts.

Was I in danger or not? Was there anyone else who knew about me? Why didn't she attack me like the others? What did she mean by "other systems"?

My thoughts moved from "What is Lady Lesso plotting?" to "Why is she so different from the others?". Why did I see it as different from others? Why was it like I was  having trouble communicating with her when she spoke to me?

I had to investigate.

The next day the students to train would arrive, I thought I needed to focus on them first, after all Lesso had only threatened to hurt me, no one but her knew about me.

Maybe I could feel safe. For the moment.
