Chapter I Flo I was lying in my bed when someone shook me and hissed, "Wake up, the master is coming!" I sat up and sighed. Another day, I thought. A few weeks ago, I had received a message from Shade that told me to come to the castle and begin working in the servants' quarters. He had explained that he needed information to help him get the files from the barracks and to help him stay free because he had had a lot of close escapes lately. The reason that I'm posing as a servant and not something else is because no one notices servants. A better way to say that is, no one cares about servants or what they see and hear, so I can hear about a lot of things people would like to keep secret. (For instance, a few days ago, while I was working in the kitchen, I heard of a plot to catch Shade, but I quickly alerted Shade and he stayed free.)		But now back to the present. I heard footsteps, then a door opened. About twenty guards walked in, then the Commander walked in. (I don't know his name.)											I was surprised. Normally the king came in to do the morning inspections so something must have been wrong. "Due to an unexpected sickness that has fallen upon the king," the Commander announced," I will be taking his place with the morning inspections and the selection of the servants." He looked around the room, but when he saw me, I glimpsed a brief light of recognition in his eyes. A dread filled my body as I thought, Does the Commander know who I am?
