Chapter 84: Rafael’s maid (3)
Annalise pinched herself as she stood with Mavis outside Rafael’s room. What did she do to be awarded easily walking into Rafael’s room and not have to sneak into it? She almost hugged Mavis because of her excitement. Whatever good luck had fallen upon her, Annalise did not want it to go away.
Annalise inspected the large grey door with a frightening design on it. If she didn’t know any better, she would assume that Rafael was not human.
"You need to be here before he wakes up," Mavis said, opening the door. "The curtains need to be pulled back to let in the sun. You need to be as quiet as possible not to disturb his sleep."
’This is certainly a knight’s room,’ Annalise said in her head as she took in the sight of different armor carefully placed on shelves and an array of swords hung on the wall.
This would have to be one of her favorite rooms in the manor since it had so many weapons for her to get her hands on. Annalise’s hand itched to try using one of the swords to see if it would be lighter than it looked and how sharp the blade was.
Annalise tore her eyes away from the wall to avoid the temptation. While it was her favorite place to be, it was also the worst since she wanted to get her hands on a sword. Before she would leave here, she knew what she was going to take.
"I hope you are listening," Mavis’s voice interrupted her thoughts.
"I am," Annalise replied, hoping she had not missed anything important.
"If he trains late in the night, his armor might be placed on this table. Take it and place it on the shelves over there with the others. Do not try moving his sword. If you are careless and accidentally drop it, you will anger him," said Mavis.
