When Howard reached his designated room in the dormitories, he scowled when he noticed that the door was already unlocked.
He precisely recalled having locked his door which did not seem to be the case right now as the door was clearly unlocked so there was only one explanation for this anomaly.
Shaking his head, he knocked on the door and tapped his foot on the floor in impatience.
'I have to knock on my own door to gain entrance,' He mocked his fate as he waited for the door to be opened from the inside.
The sounds of heavy footsteps on the wooden floor accompanied by the thud of the door unlocking yanked him out of his thoughts.
His eyes rolled when he caught sight of the person who had sneaked into his room while he was away.
"That key is meant for emergencies, Taylor." He sneered as he shoved the other boy away with his shoulders and forced his entry into the room.
How many of you thought that the title of this chapter was related to the Earl and the maid? XD
