Two girls giggled as a servant trembled in distress.

"I was holding the cup and then it disappeared right out of my hands!" The servant said as the headservant glared down at him.

"It disappeared right out of your hands?" The man asked and the servant nodded.

" Kollins let me ask you something. Are you a woman? " The man asked the servant who looked to be only a few years younger than he was.

The servant shook his head in the negative as an answer.

" Women are known to be hysterical but you my friend are not a woman. You are wiser than suddenly screaming and raising a false alarm. Let this not repeat itself again or Elder Mathias will hear of it . " The man said firmly and Kollins tried to protest.

" But... " He wasn't allowed to finish.

" No buts Kollins. Do not raise an unnecessary false alarm about spirits in the castle ever again. Do you understand? " The stern tone had the servant succumbing to authority and he agreed reluctantly.
