The King of Alvaria trembled as he read the sloppily written text from the parchment that he got from his servant. His brows were furrowed, and his hands were shaking slightly. He took off his glasses and put the parchment back on his table. The king took a deep breath as he digested the information from the paper.

"What did she say after she wrote this?" The king asked the young girl who was in maid clothes that were in front of him.

The girl slightly panicked, but she tightly held the hem of her clothes and answered anxiously. "Your Majesty, she said something about demons, but before she could finish, she died."

The king who was lost in thought nodded absently as he grabbed a small purse underneath his black robe. He opened it and hesitantly grabbed a token which has various carvings on it. The King stared at it for a while before he finally gave it to the maid.

"Take this and let every Elder know about the situation, if anyone blocks your way, show them this token."

With a simple "yes" and bow, the maid quickly went outside and closed the door with her trembling hands.

The king noticed the maid's strange behavior but paid it no heed as he thought of the things that he should do with the Foreseer's vision.

The maid's chest heaved up and down as she glanced at the token on her hands. She remembered that when she was a child, her mother had always told her about a token in the Royal Family. Her mother had said that a King would only use the token when a perilous situation is about to come.

A troubled expression crept up to her face as the confusion on her mind grew bigger on why her mother knew such a thing that only the king knows. She previously did not believe in her mother's words, but seeing the token in front of her eyes now made her accept the fact that her mother was speaking the truth.

The maid continued to walk down on the hall as countless thoughts pass through her head. Her beating heart slightly calmed down, but it was not enough to cover her anxious face.

The onlookers did not know why a maid of the king had such a troubled expression. Although there were maids, their lives were a lot better than those nobles since they were serving the King.

From young they were trained to be knights and to use various weapons. They were trained how to cook and to weave, and every possible skill that would be needed by the King were taught to them. Even though they had no freedom and would always have to train themselves, they were quite satisfied with their lives. Since they knew that their lives were much better than of those peasants.

Even a piece of their food could not be compared to the food of the commoners as the quality between them was like heaven and earth. Even if you asked a commoner if they would choose to be a slave to the king or stay as a commoner, they would decide to be a slave without a second thought.

Thus, the maids of the King are highly viewed. They are respected by the mass, and they are always praised for their highly proficient skills and for their loyalty to the king.

That is why the onlookers have question marks above their head upon seeing the troubled maid. 'Wouldn't they usually be happy and would smile from ear to ear when they got out of the King's chamber? What could've happened?'

But the maid in question who saw the confusion of the people knew better. 'I fucked up.'

She was not a firm believer about the Foreseer. She laughed at the thought of an old woman predicting the future. 'If you can predict the future then why are you in this shabby chamber?' The young girl always scoffed at the old woman for being insane.

A month ago she was ordered that she would follow the commands and be respectful to the Foreseer. But, when she arrived at her destination, she just shook her head and laughed. 'Why would I respect a nobody?'

After entering the chamber of the Foreseer, she snorted in disgust as she saw the wizened face and body of the woman. However, this kind of thing did not affect her smile and warm gaze, but when she got close and smelled her body, it made her stomach churn in disgust. Her previous fake smile that was spread across her face immediately disappeared, and it was replaced by a frown. Her previous warm gaze also disappeared and was replaced by disdain!

The old woman saw this and only whistled in admiration. "What a great act!"

The maid once again snorted as she heard the words of the old woman but did not say anything else. She quickly put the plate on the dusty table and immediately went out of the dirty chamber. The same kind of situation happened for over a week before she finally went mad and asked the old woman to take a bath.

"If you want to take the smell away then you have to wash my body," the old woman said plainly

Hearing this, the maid just laughed as if she heard the funniest thing in the world.

"Me? Wash your body?"

She laughed again but this time, it was filled with disgust.

"If it's the king would ask me to wash his body then I would! But you? A filthy dog like you wants me to wash your body?" With a flick of his hand, the plate landed on the dusty table as she furiously left the chamber.

Seeing this kind of situation, the old woman sighed.

"It has gotten worse since the fall of the previous King."

"Oh, Milord, if you were in this situation what would you do...?"

After that situation had happened, the maid started to ridicule the old woman, she would even put some powder in her food that would make her body weaken. She would often admire her abilities for predicting the future sarcastically. Sometimes, she would even tell the old woman that she would be useful if she stopped eating and would give the food to the children instead of wasting it on her.

The old woman was ridiculed day and night by the maid. Although she endured it quite a few times, she would always throw a protest to the bad mouthed girl. A month has passed, and the treatment of the maid continued to stay the same in fact, it was getting worse and worse.

The old woman grew tired and weary by the abuse of the maid. She once tried to visit the king to get the girl changed, but she did not expect that the maid would be that audacious to stop her from getting out from her chamber. She tried to get out, but the maid always stopped her and used a sound deflecting spell to make her screams for help useless.

The Foreseer was once a maid for the previous king. Thus, she was trained in combat. But now that she was old, she could not help but feel listless at the young woman in front of her. 'If it was 20 years before I could kick your ass you stupid bitch.' In the end, the Foreseer stopped trying and just concentrated on the glossy transparent ball in her hands.

Suddenly, the once transparent ball turned dark, and a malevolent aura spread around on her chamber. Thousands of visions entered in her mind as her body shook in fright. She quickly grabbed the paper on her right side and began to transcribe what she saw in the vision.

But things did not go smoothly for her, as her hands were still trembling from the extensive information that entered her head. She could at least write a few paragraphs from her current predicament but what came next was something she didn't expect.
