Bk 2: chapter five (12)

The night was long to many, but longer for a young girl standing in her chambers. Her maids walked in with heads bowed. The cold nature of the room caused fear to run through their veins.

“Kneel!” the young lady ordered and the maids hurriedly complied.

“What did you find out?” she asked even though she knew the answer.

“Young master Gunt.. He.. We heard that he is out joining the people to feast.” the maid stuttered.

“Feast?” the lady said and spun around and threw her cup in one swift motion. The maid did not have the ability to dodge the cup and it slammed right onto her forehead and clattered all over the room. Just then a woman walked in and glanced around the room then back at the angry girl.

“Clean this place and leave.” she ordered the maids and they hurried off the ground and started clearing up the broken cup fragments on from the ground.
