Submitted to Contest #43

Ever since she was a small child, Geroivia had remembered her teachers, her masters scolding her for not behaving with more discipline, as would be befitting a girl of her heritage. “Great soldiers and scholars! Why can’t you be more like the other girls! You are too wild! Your parents would be ashamed –” She never bothered to finish listening. As long as she answered “Yes master” and pretended to reflect on their words they would usually be content to let her and the boys she played with go back outsid...
