King's Dorm, Inside Tower
princess
maid
I clean up after the royal family. I live in the servant's quarters on the ground floor of the castle. My wages are paid in food and shelter.
My lady, I didn't see you! The King isn't here at the moment? I came to bring his breakfast. What in blazes is a thief doing in the King's dorm!  Never mind the breakfast, you must fetch the guards at once! Uh, the guards are seeing to the disturbance in the courtyard, my lady. I fear there is only me. Well don't just stand there!  Help me subdue this ruffian! My lady! He's got a sword! And now I have a shield! Heeeellp! Saint's preserve us. By all that is holy I smite thee for your insolence thief!  I may be the last Princess in the kingdom, but I am NOT going to let you rob my people without a fight! Pardon my lady, when did you learn to wield a weapon? My father *punch* taught me *groin kick* how to *knee kick* defend myself *headbutt* I believe he's out, my lady... Would you teach me to do that? Certainly!  No time like the present, especially with dastards like these entering bedchambers willy-nilly.  The first rule - attack, attack, always attack!  Never let up.
