Chapter 1: The Unexpected Messenger
[KAWAI]
'I'm a dead woman if I don't tell him. And I'll still end up dead if I tell him,' a woman in a maidservant apron said as she lingered in the forbidden hallways of the Lycan palace of the Kawai kingdom.
She was painfully aware that it was a crime to be lingering, but the news she had would make the master have her head if she so much as breathed the wrong word. She was sure today would be her end, but what else could she do?
What she had to say was more important than the fate of the Lycans in the kingdom.
'What if I run away?... Then again, he will suspect me and hunt me till the end of the world. What do I do, dammit,' she said as she tugged at her hair roots, probably risking them falling on the ground.
She would definitely go bald if she kept at it for long, then again, what difference would it make if she was bald and dead? She wouldn't even realize it anyway, right; oh, but she was tense.
'Maybe I should wait for the bells to ring, right?' she asked herself right as she heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming in her direction, snapping her out of her trance. She was risking a lot by being here, but then she didn't have much of an option.
'Fuck,' she grumbled as she looked for a hiding place in the hallways. There was none, but a desperate woman with everything to lose tonight, she just had to try her luck. Maybe she would be able to control her heartbeats to stop them from knowing she was here, right?
And with that, she rushed to hide behind one of the huge flower pots in the hallway. The damn hallway itself was wide enough for at least twenty full-grown Lycan warriors to walk through, if they were in a straight line.
