Selene volunteered for every exhausting task that would let her explore the castle.
"I'll deliver the linens to the upper floors."
"I can clean the unused chambers in the west wing."
"I'll fetch that from storage."
The other servants thought she was either incredibly dedicated or incredibly stupid. Who volunteered for the worst jobs? The ones that required climbing endless stairs with heavy loads? The ones that took you to the dusty, forgotten parts of the castle where no one wanted to go?
But Selene didn't care what they thought. Every task was an opportunity. Every errand was a chance to map another section of the castle, to learn another route, to find another weakness.
The King's wing was in the east tower, third floor. Selene had confirmed that through careful observation and Liora's gossip.
