"My lady, try to hold the sword like this in case it will not hurt you."
It took every nerve of mine to not roll my eyes and scold this knight. He was treating me like a mother gave a wooden knife to play the kid in the kitchen, yet worried about her safety. It had been half an hour but what he was teaching me was how to hold a wooden sword.
My eyes roamed on others who were fencing in the pair of two.
"Lets try one more time, my lady."
"Sir James, may i know where my brother is?" I asked as my last thread of patience also worn out.
"Ah, lord Nickolas had gone to meet his highness, my lady. Normally it would take an hour or two. Why, you don't like the way i am training?" he asked and before i could say anything he added, "i can be slower if you want" and i sighed.
"Sir James, I was wondering when I would learn to wield the sword or a dagger. Archery will be fine too." I tried to bargain but the man looked at me like I had asked for his chastity.
