Chapter 299: Panic (1)
"Are all the doors closed? None of them is to remain open. We cannot take any chances," Selene said, walking around to see the process the maids and guards had made.
The estate was now on lockdown with Selene overseeing all that was done to protect her home. All of the servants had gathered inside to be safe from the dangers around the town at this time.
"The doors are all locked as well as the windows. I have done as you asked to have the servants group up so we don’t lose sight of anyone. The guards are stationed all around the estate, and the escape path is set up if needed," said Harold.
"Good," Selene said, not having anything more to do now. "We must keep quiet and wait for morning to come. I do not know when this shall be over, but no one is to leave."
"Harold, if anyone is caught trying to open any door or window without my order, they are to be locked into a room. This is not the time for careless mistakes," Selene said, loud enough for all the servants to hear.
Selene had overheard some of the servants wanting to leave. Some even went so far as to try slipping out while she was doing a count.
While Selene understood their fear that danger would come to their gates because they were Blackthorns, it wasn’t safe for anyone to be running around. Especially opening doors now that everything was locked.
Selene walked over to the window to see the gates. There wasn’t any movement yet, which was a good sign.
Agnes came to stand beside Selene and asked, "You will be fine, right?"
Selene nodded her head. "Yes. We will all be fine. I must go higher."
Selene needed a better look around the estate. An attack could come from any direction, and if it did, Selene wanted to be prepared.
