Chapter 157: Chapter 157. Cloak of Shadow Concealment

"Joselyn?" The head maid's gaze seemed to tremble for a bit. She might be conjuring the ghastly image of Joselyn lying lifeless on the floor of her room. She tried collecting herself before uttering, "S-she met often with people she used to hang out with, the other maid Luciana, and the cook, Tomas. Now that I think about it, she indeed had been acting rather unusual lately. She had been slacking off, and some of her chores had been neglected. I caught her wandering outside the mansion once, chatting with the gardener, Matias. She had no business roaming outside the mansion. I warned her about her slacking, and she promised to pay more attention to her duties."

Jack thought about the head maid's words for a bit before saying, "Thank you, ma'am. That will be all for now."

The head maid recovered her demeanor and gave Jack a peeved glance. She then headed out. After she closed the door, Jack returned his attention to the Duke.
