''Degrading other women in order to praise me is such flattery that I am unworthy of it. Rosie, close the door,'' Lareina turned around.
The innkeeper almost cried tears of blood, ''I was being foolish, My Lady. Please pardon my offense.''
''You have a daughter yourself. How can you say such mindless things?" Lareina tilted her head to the side.
''Yes yes,'' the man held his potbelly with a hand and gave two tight slaps on his face, afraid of having offended the 'lady expert' badly, ''I won't again. I won't again.''
Lareina sighed and turned to me, ''Tell me, has that maid been meeting somebody in the recent weeks or months?"
''I… cannot tell,'' the man was stunned by the question but after thinking for a while, he shook his head, ''But I can look into it. Maybe it would not be easy but all of us live in this inn so it would not be difficult to find if she had interacted with anyone…''
"There is no need,'' A cold voice cut off the innkeeper.
