Royal Duties

“Responding to Your Majesty… I don’t know.” Replied the maid, her voice on the verge of tears. Her knees had been shaking for the last ten minutes, and even her back was hurting, but she didn’t dare move or disrupt Seth.

Seth’s eyebrows rose, and he said: “You don’t have to keep kneeling there. Didn’t you come here to clean the bath?”

“Responding to Your Majesty, cleaning the bath while Your Majesty is still here….”

“Didn’t I say not to mind me? If you’re worried you’ll see me naked, I’m wearing shorts, so you don’t have to.” Said Seth closing his eyes again.

The maid sighed under her breath and finally stood up. After seeing that Seth was not reacting, she started mopping the bath floor as she was supposed to, but her nerves remained stretched the entire time as her eyes kept darting at Seth.
