"What?" Oriana complained. "Sir, please, I'm really sorry. I was just wearing her uniform, that's all I did. How is that violence?"

"Not you," he said. "You didn't hit her. You didn't raise a finger against her. If you had, you'd be facing the same punishment."
As soon as he said that, Oriana placed both hands on her chest and sighed in relief.
Then I noticed her smile, her expression bright with satisfaction.
But when realization struck her, that the punishment was only for me, her smile vanished.
"Clementine Stark, you will be going to the North alone for a task. However, it will be scheduled later," the headmaster declared.
