Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Betrayed by Blood~

I was done with my chores for the day. I had gotten used to it and now made sure to be done earlier than everyone so I could take a break. I had finished arranging the food for the guards when the head maid stepped into the kitchen, her gaze roaming around the place until it landed on me.

"Avery," she called out to me, and I tensed up. Whenever she called me, it was never for anything good.

"Yes," I replied.

"Take this to the eastern border. The guards there are waiting for their delivery," she ordered, gesturing at the bag filled with the food I had arranged. I furrowed my eyebrows at her order. Not only was it not in my chore list for today, but the distance to the east border was no joke. I had done

it once, and it was hell. To do it now when my feet were still hurting would be horrific.
