Chapter 452
Looking at her, I wondered if I should tell her about it although it was obvious... and thankfully... I didn’t.
Because right after staring at our bare feet that couldn’t move closer, she smirked, demonstrating what she said was a lie and conveying with her expression that... If I was to ask for help, it shouldn’t be to her.
"Enjoy your stay, My Lady~ The water is fresh and the clothes are clean, I will leave so you may change comfortably~"

’... She was one of Paul’s people all along... d- does that mean there were others???? Is that why it was easy for him to get to us??’
These matters felt immense the more I realised we were never truly safe from Paul’s reach. But even so... I couldn’t actually believe it.
Paul was only the son of a Duke. On his own... he would never be able to pull off all of this, much less get the servants that I met once I was at the Royal Palace to be on his side so effortlessly... So easily... since even back at home he couldn’t.
’He had said before that it’s not only him behind the schemes he has played... But who??? Who on earth is helping that psycho??’
For a second, Theressa came to mind as an answer, but just as fast as it appeared it was dismissed. Like Paul, she had no power and actually had less than Paul himself... If there was anything she could be helping with, it would only be with little things but not what truly mattered.
’... This is getting complicated...’ — The more I suspected with little to no hint about who it could be that was backing Paul up, I eventually went back to sit on the bed. With no other choice since that maid had left everything out of my reach on purpose... and now, I blankly took in the sight of the almost empty place. Acting a little bit too calm in my perspective, but I suppose it was the shock expressing itself.
