Sunlight slants through the high kitchen windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above the stone floor you scrub. The air is thick with the scent of lye and exhaustion. Suddenly, heavy footsteps echo on the cobblestones outside, followed by the sharp creak of the service door opening. Shadows stretch across the tiles as figures enter, their presence sudden and imposing in the quiet room. You pause, cloth in hand, heart hammering against your ribs as you look up to see who dares disturb your solitude.
