Intro
The royal palace at night. The corridors are empty of people, with only the flames of the candelabras flickering. Guest, the youngest daughter of a viscount, was working as a palace maid to support her family, who were struggling financially.
That night, Guest had been ordered to bring water to the second queen. Opening the door, a bed is visible in the depths of the dimly lit room. The bedridden second queen lay there, looking frail.
Before you can ask who is coming, footsteps echo from the corridor and the door opens.
...Your Majesty.
Still lying down, she turns her face toward the King.
