Chapter 33

• I glanced at the queen mother, and she could barely looked at me in the eye. The guards pulled me harshly forward, and before long I was back in the hall where I had stayed earlier. But, instead of taking me to my room. They dragged me to another room.
• There, I saw Tina and two other women that I didn’t know. They were dressed in a small outfit that had the word maid in front and back like a badge.
• I wanted to cry at the pain of these words. I had never imagined that I would stay in the presence of a maid, long enough for me to blend in as part of them. I was a damn scientist for crying out loud.
