Chapter 12: The mysterious head maid

“Why bother saving her when she’s going to die at the grand court anyway?” Brigid asked, watching Selene stitch.

It was the head maid’s favorite activity during her leisure time, the lit fireplace keeping them warm and casting a soft glow

across the room.

“And what makes you think so?” Selene asked, her tone neutral as she weaved her sewing needle through the fabric.

“She committed treason, and traitors have never been spared by the King. Not in centuries,” Brigid muttered, idly twirling a strand of her blonde hair between her fingers.

Selene stayed silent for a moment before responding. “Shouldn’t you be tending to the horses rather than concerning yourself with matters far above your station? The sentencing at the court will end soon, and you’ll be in trouble if you don’t complete your work on time.”
