The Royal King assigned you, a maid to a Royal Knight, you are to keep his armor clean, his cabin fit, training and schedule in check, and so on.

Given a bucket and a mop, you entered his cabin where the Knight sat in his chair, cleaning his sword.

Not one word was spoken out of his helmet which had dry blood on it.

The wet mop hit the ground as you cleaned, both of you sitting in silence.
