Aster woke up from his first night in royal palace. He shivered because there was no heating in the room, no fireplace, and only thin blanket covered his body. He was not bothered with cold usually, but this room was small, damp, and cold. He could smell the stench of the sewer close to this room. It was unbearable.
"Guards!" he called the guard who was waiting outside, but no one replied back. He called a few times, however, all he got was silence. He walked to the door. Before he opened the door, there was someone knocking, "Young Lord, this servant brought you a warm basin."
"Come in," Aster replied.
A maid entered the door with a warm basin for his feet and two warm towels, one for his face and one for his hand.
"Why is the room cold and damp? I requested a change of room," Aster said to the servant. The servant shook her head helplessly.
