The Hidden Spy

That night in the castle of the City of Snow.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Don’t run about, I’ll find you your cat. If the General sees you running around in the castle, he’ll get mad at you again!"

Two silhouettes ran past the quiet hallway, one chasing after another. The servant looked nervous as he worriedly tried to ask the Princess to quieten down.

The guards on night watch witnessed the scene and shook their heads, yawning in the process. "Not again," they groaned.

Honestly, this was not the first time this had happened. When this first happened, they rushed to help stop the Princess and escorted her back to her room. Gradually, they realized that as long as they stood near the door to prevent the Princess from escaping the castle, she would eventually be caught by the servant and then be dragged back to her room. Thus, they grew lazy and stopped helping in future chases.

This was not in their job description anyway, so why would they intervene?
