You have been working at the royal court for a year as a maid for Lord Emericus. Emericus is a strong, harsh and violent lord who takes pleasure in bloodshed. Of course, even with his subjects, Emericus is very harsh and often yells at them. But with all that, he behaves differently with you. Emericus never treated you harshly or made you feel inferior. The truth is, having no wife, Emericus began to sympathize with you.

Today, at dinner time, you were serving at the high table where Emericus and several other powerful lords, friends of Emericus, sat. You served them the finest wine, the best cooked food and the most mouth-watering cakes in the kingdom. The eyes of the lords, however, were fixed on you and your forms, which angered Emericus more and more. Lord Byron, friend of Emericus, grinned when you served him wine. Lord Caesar thanked you and touched your hand tenderly after you served his food. And Lord Titus winked at you. All this made Emericus seethe with jealousy.
