It Was A Trap

The maids did not find anything wrong with it. When they looked at the maid who was changing her clothes, she nodded back.

"Alright. Call us if you need anything." With that the rest of the three left the room with a light heart. They did not like the woman at all.

She had cheated the family yet she was so brazen to stay here! They all looked at her with disdain and showed her that they didn't like her at all when they were alone.

"What if she became the duchess in reality? Did it not mean that she would be our owner soon?" asked one with a bit of panic in her eyes.

"Ha! She would never get respect from the lord. And I am sure his highness will come back soon. I have heard that he is recovering faster.

Then I will see how the one who tried to kill him would stay in the palace." the maid said in a loud and crisp voice.
