Today was completely normal, with no mention of the stolen book at all. Slaves each went back to their usual job, and that meant that I did my regular jobs in the castle all day.
Everyone is pissed at me because they think it's my fault that Mark got so dehydrated yesterday. Their reasoning is that if there had been a fifth strong person instead of me, then Mark would not have had to work so much and end up so screwed up. Luckily he is a little better today and by the time he came back tonight he was almost back to normal.
There was a messenger sent to the fief that told the mistress that some friend of the king—I forget his name—is coming here, either tomorrow or the day after. At least I assumed that he was a friend of the king because he was the leader of the king's own.
Whenever someone visits I have to do lots of extra work in the castle and never say a word the whole time, while all the other slaves hide in our sleeping quarters. They also get extra food or only slightly used clothes from the masters, who are trying to prevent any of the slaves from telling the visitors.
I was writing this all in candlelight because I got back late, but I have to stop now because everyone want to go to bed.
AN: I know that this one was short, but I'll try to get another one up tonight. I hope you enjoyed and reviews are great!
