Chapter 965: Searching for Spies
These two groups were also the ones who wanted to be made to feel like they were special and different from the rest.
Arabella would indulge them so they wouldn’t think they were being ignored.
When lunchtime came, Arabella headed to the banquet hall with the Marquess.
Lunch was peaceful this time, and no matter how she tried to listen, there were no spies among the butlers and maids who served them food.
’Maybe, there are no more spies in the castle. They must have run away after one of them went missing,’ Arabella thought.
The Marquess did not report to her that one of their butlers had suddenly gone missing, but she heard from their thoughts.
She was supposed to inform the Marquess that they had caught the said butler, since he was a spy. However, since they did not know yet if there were more, they had to pretend like they were not involved with it and did not even know about it.
From what she heard from the maids and butlers’ thoughts, the one they caught started working here two years ago.
It was a long enough time to observe the former Marquess closely and be one of his trusted butlers by performing well all the time.
