Women like me‚ chambermaids‚ cannot get close to a knight‚ not in a meaningful way. Our purpose is to scrub‚ wash‚ and empty pots‚ nothing more. We are invisible to nobles‚ as we are trained to be. I had capitulated to that concept long ago. However‚ there had been that one time I was not invisible. I had been tasked with scrubbing the floor in the castle corridor near Sir Leon’s chamber.

As I sat in the my prison-chamber‚ tears were running down my face. Feeling the insistent pounding in my skull ‚ I rested my head on my knees to take away the pain.

"Hey‚ are you ready?" The day started the same all the time. "You up? You have work to do!" Though the voice kept pestering away into absent air. "Look‚ I’m only here to help you." Empty‚ the room sat with the single voice echoing through it‚ before filtering into another room. "Where are you? Have you decided to run away again?"

Lena stared at him for a long moment as he approached their tent‚ and all at once a sense of understanding overcame her when she realized that the messenger only wore his own blood
