handmaid
steward
I am a steward who is trusted by people. I know all the ways to get to other parts of the world. I have read many books.
I am here to talk to the king, what brings a maid by? I am cleaning up around here, of course. Is everything okay? Yes I was simply requested to deliver a message. Of what, may I ask? It is a state secret I am sorry. I would die for the king and queen if need be. I am one you can trust. I work alongside the queen. The enemy nation is planning an assault. Oh my! You should hurry to find the king!  Yes it is an emergency. You should be prepared just in case! Yes I will use thhis thank you. Now, go up the spiral stairs all the way to the top, and knock on the door there. The king will be expecting you.
