It was well past the sleeping hours when a meek and quiet knock came on Jariah's door. Jariah was one of the maids in the castle and she was one of the enduring ones who minded her own business. But today, it was late, she had just gone up on her bed to rest after cleaning up the mess in the dining hall. The Royals really were a menace to the staff but again, the whole purpose that the staff is given work is to clean up after them. While there are hundreds of them deployed in the castle, work was still very much work. And some of them got tired eventually. Of course, they would recover but some days were just hard on them. After all, they were just humans.
Knock, knock, knock.
