The World Where I Belong

Next morning Miki woke with her whole body in pain. She felt as if she was run over by a truck. Her matal protection gear was laying by the side of her bed. She got up and looking at the mirror she couldnt belive her eyes. Her stomach and both sides were darkd blue collor,it was the biggest brouse she has ever seen. One of her breasts was slightly broosed and it hurt more than the discollored flesh beneath. She definatly lost, so why was she still alive? She quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs. Garin was sitting at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her.
\"Good Morning\" he said loudly
\"Is it really that good?\" she asked puzled
\"In any case, what is my job here?\" it has been bothering him since his conversation with the captain, each sinerio he came up with just didnt fit. Did she want him as a sex slave? Why risk you life for that? DId she want him to kill someone? Then its just one job, she wouldnt need him after that. What the hell is worth to risk your life for to this woman? He didnt sleep much that night wondering what she needed him for.
\"Hmmm.. That.. well you see I know you are one of the best swordsman and.., Before we talk about that, does it mean you will work for me?\"
\"Yea, now what do you want me to do spit it out!\" he was getting frustrated
\"I lost though you could of easily killed me last night, so our deal is really in void\"
\"SO you dont want me..\"
\"No thats not it\" she interapted him \"I want you to teach me all you know about sword fighting, but due to last night you do have a choice of just killing me right now, or just leaving, its all up to you. I lost.\"
He was lost, he didnt expect that, she freaking wanted a teacher?Someone to teach her how to fight. He wanted to leave, but he decided last night to do the job, due to him not being able to kill her on his first try.
\"So all I have to do is to teach you how to swing a sword around?\"
\"No I want to get to your level, I will do everything you say for the next year, I`ll practice day and night, so please consider it, I`ll pay whatever you ask\"
Lucile cheerfully ran into the room at that moment and huged Miki declaring: \"I love you and glad you live\" giving a glare to Garin. Then she ran out back in the direction of the concubines room. Garin sighed.
\"You tamed an elf, I heard they are so proud that they`ll bite their tong and bleed to death before obaying a human\"
\"Oh she doesnt obay me, she is like a little sister, she berlylistens to me. Elfs arent animals, they arent meant to be taimed\"
She entered the kitchen and started to cook something, picking out of the dood she asked Garin if he was hungry.
\"You have over a dozen servants that can cook and some great chefs, unless you fired them too\"
\"Yea, I am not sure where they are but I like to cook\"

From that day on the lessons began. He tought her the forms the swings, everyday she became better and better. When he trained men in the emperial army it took them months what she llearned to do in weeks and then she perfected it within a month. Something that so many men could never achive. With each lesson he was more and more convinced that Miki was definatly not from this world. Within only the first few weeks she was attacked twice and both times she was alone, she walked away without a scratch. Garin was not allowed to protect her, she made that very clear. But what surpvrised him even more is how the people of the mansionallfell in love with their new master.
