The Maid Game

The tour ended, and everyone went back to their proper places. It was the most excruciating moment for Verone. She should find a way to send a message to the Left Minister or the Ninth Prince. The remaining spy that the Ninth Prince had planted in the Palace of the Crown Prince should've come to her already. But, it was turning dark and there was still no sign of that spy.

'Does the Crown Prince already know? Did they eliminate her already?'

Verone began nibbling at her fingernail, something that she would unconsciously do whenever she was nervous. The Left Minister and the Ninth Prince told her that they got everything covered. They told her that she could rely on the spy at the Palace of the Crown Prince. 

She began to worry about her safety. It was only her first day. The maids serving her felt something was off with their mistress.
