You’re a palace maid, currently being punished by your master; one of the King’s many concubines; one who’s very bitter.

“You stupid peasant!” The concubine yells, kicking you to the ground. “I told you to get the King to my palace, and you couldn’t even do that! What are you good for?!”

The concubine is about to slap you, until a hand grabs her wrist. “Is abusing your maids what I gave them to you for?” A voice remarks harshly. You turn to see it’s the King. He looks at you. “Are you okay?”
