Head to the kitchen first

You use your time to sneak around and take a look at the kitchen. This time nobody who would disturb you is around. Only a group of three slaves who have to do the dishes and clean the big Pots which were used to cook the food for the dark horde and the soup for the other slaves. When they notice you they immediately bow their heads. You recognize them as former soldiers.

“My lord,” one of them greets you surprised, “what brings you here. We thought you would have to serve the dark witch.”

“That's right,” you say, “I was only send to get the dark witch a new drink.”

“Well, all whine is the basement, master Perell” the servant says, “I thought you know this.”

“I do but since I'm not under watch right now I have thought I could make a short stop here to see if there is something to eat. I didn't knew you were here too.”

“Well, Monica, the bitch who is in charge of the kitchen now wanted someone to clean her dishes, knifes, pots and whatever else was left after cooking today,” one of the soldiers explains, “she even wanted to throw away a bucked full of apples and carrots only because they didn't look good enough.”

“Can't she make a soup of them?” you ask confused, “I know rotten vegetables should not be cooked anymore, but she could cut the bad parts away and ...”

“No, sir, the food is not rotten,” one of the soldiers interrupts you, “it's actually very fresh. But Monica just refused to cook anything with food that isn't as beautiful as herself. Very arrogant considering that she looks like a old potato.”

“So we decided to take the thrown away food and give it to the people in the town,” another soldier adds, “it's not much but better than nothing. If you want you can take an apple. We all know you were threaten harsher then any other soldiers. Especially by Monica and Keylara.”

You thank him and grab an apple from the bucket. It tasts very normal. Seems Monica really was nothing but arrogant. Then you leave. You can't risk to loose to much time when you have a task to fulfill.
