Meredith was taken by the guard to the maid quarter where she was given a maid outfit, bedding, and her first meal after a while.
The other maids were looking at her suspiciously, as they didn't like a stranger to barge into their quarters, especially when that stranger was a human.
Some of the maids already harbored a dislike towards Queen Swan because she was a human. Despite all the good things Swan had done, they still thought she didn't deserve to be their Queen as she had no physical capability unlike the Beast King.
Nevertheless, they didn't dare to confront Meredith directly, as the guard told them that she was under His Majesty's protection.
Except for one senior maid, a gazelle beastman, who walked to Meredith's bed and asked in a somewhat arrogant and challenging tone, "Welcome to the Beastman's maid quarter. I heard from the guard that your name is Meredith, right?"
