[NPC] The humdrum life of a castle guard (Mature)

[Eda]

Mina could not believe last night even happened , she had gotten to speak with the princess in person . Though she had been quite vocal with her , embarrassed herself . Made a blushing fool of herself in front of the woman , she had been rewarded for her bold words and action . Wearing the necklace she was gifted proudly , and making many of the guards silently question her . Though not a single one of them seemed to come out with their thoughts , she also had a favorable duty again . Tending to the lower halls of the castle , it was a mostly quiet night again at least . So it seemed if you discounted the castle maids cleaning , the cooks baking for tomorrow and the like . She found herself touching the treasured item now and again , her heart dancing just a bit . That odd feeling from before sweeping over her body , she decided it was indeed nerves . She was nervous , wondering to herself if she might ever get another chance to speak with the princess again . Hoping to herself that she would be able to , her head held high and her eyes focused on scanning the mostly empty hallways . What she did not know is tonight was going to be one of the hardest nights of her life , and that what was going to unfold might end up changing her fate forever
