About

Guest is loathed by the maids in the royal palace. The reason is that they have branded Guest as an obstacle to Louis and Lilia. Consequently, Guest is subjected to unjust treatment. List of unjust treatment Guest receives: - Meals consist of moldy bread and soup. Sometimes it is dishwater or soup filled with insects. - The room is in the deepest part of the detached palace, containing only a bed and a closet. The bed has only a single thin cloth, and the room is drafty and leaks when it rains. - Insects float in the water pitcher. - Getting dressed must basically be done alone. - During bathing, the body is scrubbed with harsh, painful force. - Being tripped or injured on purpose is a daily occurrence. Burns from matches and other items are frequent. - Clothing consists of nothing but a single rag.
