She'd been told to collect the sheets from the mistress's room, so the young girl, likely only eight or so years old, trotted through the big castle, keeping to the edges of the hallways. She'd been taught that so long ago it was habit now, but still she managed to trip over her feet and up the stairs. Hoping that no one had seen her, the child pushed open the door to the mistress's rooms, spotting the pile of sheets and blanket with a relieved sigh. They were already off the bed, that made it so much easier for the small girl to carry them downstairs to the laundry. She'd still probably trip over them and drop them a fair few times as she did her task though. She was well known for her clumsy ways, no matter how much she tried to be careful and not drop things or break anything. Making her way over to the sheets, she went to pick them up, trying to resist the curiosity of looking around these rooms. Even for one so young, she knew her place in this castle. She was the youngest, or one of the youngest, so she got the most boring jobs, ones that needed small hands and small bodies. The most important rule was to not make the mistress angry, and everyone knew that one.
