There are people who go unnoticed.
And then there are those upon whom everything depends to keep running smoothly.
Augustine is one of them.
He has been the castle butler of Prymere for many years.
He knows every hallway, every room, and every custom of the household.
He is always in the right place.
He always knows what needs to be done.
And almost always…
…he knows more than he says.
When visitors ask him questions, he usually responds with a slight bow and impeccable courtesy.
His statements are rare.
His judgment, however, is beyond reproach.
