“You know, after serving Her Lady for so long, you get a feel of how reckless she can be.” A blonde Knight leaned on the door frame, shrugging as he smirked at the younger girl next to him.
“Oh, you don't know half of it, Sir Asher,” A girl, fourteen years of age, honey brown hair, and sparkling blue eyes, “sometimes she’d just run off somewhere and I have to roam around goddess knows where just to find her?”
Asher laughed and the maid stared at him. Her palms are a bit sweaty and her lips quivering. “U-Um, Sir Asher–By any chance are you free this—”
“TEEERRRRIIII!” A large yell broke free from the hallway as large heavy footsteps rang loudly through the hall. “I GOT SOMETHING!”
Teri snapped her head to her left and saw the Lady running in her dress and heels with a wide toothy grin and smiling eyes. In her hand seemed to be some sort of ring?
“My Lady?” Teresa was a bit surprised as the young tigress reached the two of them with heavy breaths.
“W-wait—I need air.” Alejandra grabbed a hold of the maids shoulder as she struggled to breathe.
“You should work on your stamina more, My Lady.” Asher teased, “perhaps some more time in the barracks can help you?”
“Shut up–haaah—Asher.” She spat in between inhales.
“So what is this you wanted to show me, Lady Alejandra?” Teri intently stared at the Lady’s palms, as she folded them open, revealing a pair of silver rings. “What are these?”
“They're enchanted rings!” Alejandra happily handed one over to Teri, “these are enchanted with protection and tracking spells! As long as we wear this, we know where the other person is, and if one of us is in danger,” She snapped her fingers, “It will turn red to signal the other wearer.”
“T-That’s amazing.” Teri placed the ring on her finger and she could immediately feel the state of her Lady's health. This was a miraculous gift, “this is way too much for a servant like me, My Lady.” The girl smiled, feeling a bit guilty for accepting such a luxury.
“Don't give me that,” The young tigress giggled, “you're practically my sister, and I want us to keep each other safe all the time.”
“Cover each other's blindspots?” Teri raised her eyebrows.
“Cover each other's blind spots.” Alejandra confirmed.
“Do you have one for me as well, My Lady?” Asher grinned and Alejandra sighed.
“Maybe next time, big guy.” She placed her hands on her hips and pointed at him, “for now. You. Me. Barracks. Let’s go.”
“Ready to lose another time?” Asher crossed his arms and lowered his shoulders. “Shall we make my wins reach the 40s?”
“Instead, I will make MY wins, to the 40s!” Alejandra proclaimed, “Teri! Be our referee again!”
The maid sighed and pushed Alejandra’s pointing hand down, “It's rude to point, My Lady.” Then she smiled, “Let me get you in appropriate clothes first.”
—
“Kill.”
It was darkness.
“Kill.”
Like being stuck in the bottom of the intrepid dark waters of the sea.
“Kill.”
A voice was speaking to her, it was her own but—a lot more manic—angry—vengeful.
