The Beast

I've been locked in this mysterious mansion for ten years. Cleaning and following the rules of a Lord whose face I've never seen.
Rule 1: Don't walk the halls at night
Rule 2: Never leave the property
Rule 3: Don't ask about the Lord of the estate

Once you leave the mansion, you can't come back. My mother tells me I should be thankful because only crime and death remain outside the gates after the war. But after ten years of cleaning the same halls and reading the same books, after ten years of unanswered questions, my curiosity got the best of me. I snuck out of the mansion and went to the nearby town: a crime that could get me banished. I began asking about the mysterious Lord, and tonight, I will walk the forbidden halls and hope to catch a glimpse of him.
