It's difficult not to think about something. I won't lie to you that I couldn't do it. I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning in bed, thinking about the possible variations of what might happen to me. But finally my body gave in and I fell asleep.

I woke up with difficulty, but I had to try not to think about it. Not to think about her.

It was my first day at work, my first lesson was about to begin. I chose one of my best dresses, got ready and went downstairs. Dovey would be waiting for me there.

"Good morning, look who's here, I was going to send someone to look for you in a bit, are you okay?"Clarissa was referring to the fact that I hadn't shown up all day yesterday, I hadn't even shown up at mealtime.

"Oh no, I'm fine. I was just a little tired"

Clarissa made the usual face of when she doesn't believe me.

"They are coming, they are 16 princes all imported sons of kings. They won't be ready, it's their first year. Please be understanding"

"Of course, but won't the girls have lessons with me?"

"The girls? They're princesses, none of them will ever want to take a fighting class, I think the only girls you'll be teaching will be the ones from the evil school, my dear"

"Have you ever asked them?"

"What?"

"To the princesses, if they want to fight"

"Oh don't talk nonsense. Look, they're coming!"

A large number of carriages had arrived at the school gates, and I, Clarissa and some of the evil teachers were there waiting for them.

As soon as we arrived, Clarissa made a welcoming speech and escorted us into the garden. Sooner than I thought, she left me alone with them.

And my first lesson began.

I had them arranged in a semi-circle so that I could see them all .

"Where is the teacher?" laughed one among the others.

"I am the teacher" I knew what he was getting at, I would remind him who was in charge.

"A princess, are you kidding me, would she teach us to smile by any chance?" added another laughing, and several of the boys joined in.

I took the sword I had laid on the grass, approached the last one who had spoken, and put it to his throat.

"You know, if you want, I can teach you to smile when you're dead, you'll look better".

Silence fell, I was going to scare them. Only then would I get the respect I needed.

"Your name please"

"Tristan, my name is Tristan"

"Well Tristan, can you use a sword?"

"Yes, but I am still practising with my guardian"

I moved closer to his ear so that only he could hear.

"This time I'll spare you a bad impression in front of your comrades, but say such a thing again, I swear you'll regret it for life"

I moved away from him and stood in the middle of the circle.

"Do any of you know how to use a sword?"
