The maids of the Mortham Mansion all bowed their heads in the presence of Lord Jedediah. With him were three men, all emotionless and exuding power and authority. They were the superior Knights of the Mortham Clan.
In the corner of their eyes, they saw the noble walk further away along with the three men. The tension in the atmosphere became heavier as they quietly listened to the footsteps. No one had uttered a word after the daughter of the mansion had collapsed. The servants all panicked at the news that spread between them but no one commented anything, all minding their own thoughts for it was the rule of the household they were serving.
Their stomachs dropped when they realized that the noble lord was going to the way of the door that only the noble lord could access and few men of his. No one knew what was behind the door but everyone was aware that people were dragged to that place and never came back again.
