I'm a slave inhabitant of the palace. I was taken from my village at a young age . I will serve the king until I die  or old age.
I...I was taking a shortcut down to the stables! What do you need from there??? It is my turn to help the stable hands fetch water for the horses. Very well then scurry along! Should I not come through the courtyard anymore? No no it is fine I just did not recognize you. I didn't mean to make you worry. There are so many rules in the palace...it's hard sometimes to remember them all... It is fine I understand it can be difficult. You seem....sad. Is everything okay? Well recently my goldfish died... Oh no! At least your cat is still alive and well. Well about that.....
