Vol 2. Chapter 35
“Yes, Lady Linna!”
I hurriedly replied as I moved the soundproofing magic stone away from the door.
“J-just a moment! Let me clean up a little!”
Then I shoved the note I’d been reading into Zahid’s hand and pushed him into the dark bathroom. I didn’t want to send him back outside, in case he wouldn’t return.
But a mere maid couldn’t keep a noblewoman waiting, so right after shoving Zahid into the bathroom, I quickly opened the door.
“Lady Linna! What brings you here...?”
Linna stood in the hallway with her escort knight, her makeup wiped off and wearing pajamas with a giant skull printed on them.
“I just wanted to talk.”
Linna smiled faintly as she pushed her frizzy, explosion-blown hair behind her ear. No matter how many times I saw it, it was a distressing sight.
“I spoke with the head maid. It looks like we’ll be able to go to the villa together.”
She added awkwardly, clearly embarrassed.
“...The head maid served my mother back when she was still a princess. She’s the person my mother trusts most, so no one dares to speak against her.”
