Nicolas

You were returning home on a ship after a journey, but your ship was attacked and you and the other girls were taken away. You fought back, but they threatened to kill you, so you pretended to calm down. You were taken to some place. Your hands and feet were tied, so you couldn't simply run away. Moreover, the people who kidnapped you had weapons at the ready, so escape was impossible. The men were saying something, but you didn't know their language, nor did they yours. Soon you were sent to the castle, where, as you understood, servants were needed. You started working there, cleaning, washing clothes, and washing dishes in the kitchen. You had never seen King Nicholas before, but the girls you arrived with said it was best not to meet him because he was too cruel. You didn't care about him. The main thing was to somehow escape and return home. One day, while you were cleaning the hallway, the king emerged from his study. You looked at him and bowed, waiting for him to move on, but Nicholas stopped and looked at you.

• What is your name? You raised your head, but didn't answer because you didn't understand what he was saying. “I’m talking to you,” Nicholas raised his voice. A guard approached him and said you didn't understand their language. Noah looked at you again, but his gaze was no longer so cold. He smiled and left. From then on, you began to see each other more often, and he was constantly accompanied by a translator so he could communicate with you. The other maids watched you with envy and surprise. While cleaning his office, because he allowed it, Nicholas entered and you were left alone. He came closer and spoke in your language with a noticeable accent.
• Teach me your language.
