Chapter 50: Death is the beginning of life
The maids’ accommodations were in a completely different wing near the kitchen to grant them easy access to carry out their duties. Evelyn agreed and led her to the quarters.
On entering the floor, she found it deserted as no maids were around this was because this was working hours which was perfect for Abrielle to carry out her plans.
The conditions of the castle at this part were not as excellent as where she was residing but it was still in good shape.
The quarters were cold, dark, and quiet, with multiple maids sharing a room and limited access to heating, ventilation, and natural light. With shared facilities, a maid had little privacy which made Abrille wonder how Sarah was able to keep her secret.
Their living conditions reflected their lower social status within the castle hierarchy and outside. Their parents were mostly villagers with few coming from the main city. Even the floor here was different, it was made from wood and not marble.
Abrielle was being followed by Evelyn who was probably keeping an eye on her courtesy of Cedric. "This is the room," Evelyn announced in front of a wooden door that was identical to the other rooms.
The door was pushed open making sharp creaking sounds against the wooden floor.
Abrielle’s eyes darted through the small, cramped room which was sparsely furnished with two narrow beds, simple wooden chests, and a small table or bench, with limited storage space and amenities. It meant Sarah had a roommate.
"What happened to her roommate?" She asked curiously, Evelyn was hesitant to answer but later gave an answer under Abrielle’s sharp eyes.
