"You heard it correctly. I want you to stay silent, you're just a mute now," Swan repeated. "I've heard from other servants that you're quite the chatty type who'd always listen and gossip, so the punishment is fitting. I will make sure that every servant and guard in this castle will know not to talk to you. They will treat you like you don't exist."
