Chapter 156: Overlooked Situation
Kael stood in front of the servants with his hands folded behind him. The servant’s had their heads down, no one daring to meet his gaze.
"While I was away, a lot happened," he began. "My only sister was killed. May!" he called out.
Hearing her name being called, May jumped in fright, her eyes wide with fear. "Y-yes, Master Kael?" she stuttered, her head bowed.
Kael’s gaze fell upon her, his eyes piercing. "Tell me, what happened to my sister?" he asked, his voice low and even, but with an undercurrent of menace.
May swallowed hard, her voice barely above a whisper. "I-I don’t know, Master Kael. I wasn’t here when it happened."
Kael’s eyes narrowed, his gaze boring into her. "You’re saying you know nothing?"
May nodded hastily, her fear evident. "I-I mean, I don’t know anything about Miss Vivian’s death, Master Kael. I swear it."
Kael’s expression remained unreadable, "Come forward."
May hesitated for a split second before shuffling forward, her legs trembling with dread. She stood a few inches away from Kael, her head bowed so low that you couldn’t see her face.
"I pay you to keep an eye on my sister, not to let anything happen to her." Kael’s voice was low and even, but it sent shivers down May’s spine.
"I-I know, Master Kael. I’m sorry. I failed."
