I thought once the introductions were over, I'd finally get a minute to just breathe, find a bathroom, and splash some water on my face.
I was wrong.
"Follow me." Phil didn't even look back to see if I was following.
The heavy doors of the Great Hall clicked shut behind us, the sound echoed as we walked in silence again. We moved through a labyrinth of corridors. Everything here was so… perfect.
Can I actually do this? The question kept looping in my head. I knew the job description. I was here to turn spoiled royalty into functioning human beings. But it's starting to get overwhelming. Seeing the loathing in their eyes, made the plan feel like trying to house-train a pack of wolves with a stick.
We stopped in front of a smaller room this time. Phil opened the door and stepped in first. I followed.
It was an office.Not as grand as the main hall, but still organized. Bookshelves lined the walls. Not a single speck of dust on the desk.
