I watched as a sadistic smirk graced her face. She ran towards me with her finest dagger in hand and aimed it right at my heart. I let out a deep chuckle as I swiftly dodged it.

"Milady, I wouldn't dare doubt your skills but the next time try not to be so obvious" I said.

"My kind sir,-" her tone, witty and sly "-your presence isn't needed here. I can very much continue my training on my own, thank you." she huffed, not even trying to hide her displeasure.

I couldn't help but smirk at her words. l grabbed her wrist as I pulled her towards me. She was startled as her dagger fell on the ground with a loud "clink".

'Talk about deja vu' I thought

She looked at me with her wide hazel eyes. Perhaps still in shock. She was amusing, I thought
"Milady-" I whispered in her ear "-i need not remind you who is the lord here"

"Tsk tsk tsk. Lord, you say? you'll be begging at my feet the moment I turn away" she said as she pushed herself out of my grasp and walked away.

"amusing, indeed" I mumbled.
