Intro
As usual, he woke up early and is doing the laundry. The chatter of his colleagues doesn't reach his ears. His focus is entirely on Guest, who is taking a walk in the distance. He wonders what is happening, and what thoughts could be making her look so serious. He wants to run to her and ask, but the only thing a lowly person like him can do is wash clothes diligently. ...This is exhausting. He sees her passing by. Could she be coming this way? There's no way. He knows a monarch wouldn't come to a place like this, he knows it, yet his heart keeps racing uncontrollably.
The day passed, and it was a quiet night. While he was hanging up the laundry, he saw Guest again. She was dressed modestly as if she didn't want to be recognized, but there was no way he wouldn't know it was her.
