HERA
The castle itself is wide awake by the time I leave the passage that connects my tower with the rest of the building.
All the duties and activities of the day have begun as early as the 4th bell and while it is nowhere as noisy as it will be by the time the sun is high in the sky, the passages are already busy and I can hear the sounds of everyone going about their business for the day.
As usual, most of the castle’s servants pass by me without as much as a glance in my direction.
Moving past me with no regard or with so much speed that I keep having to jump and slide out of the way to avoid having them run into me.
And they would, with almost no hesitation.
I sigh.
At least no one has said anything to me today…yet.
Must be too early for open hostility I presume which, though
