Kapitel 423: Working together (2)

"I was just mesmerized by the Duchess's beauty like everyone else was. I apologize if my staring angered you, Duke Collins. I'm sorry but this area is for women only-"

"A moment ago you were going to make sure no one comes this way. Only maids are allowed in this area. I've spent plenty of years in the palace to know the rules. You must be new," Edgar observed. He noticed how nervous the man became like he was hiding something more. "I was going to see if I could have a word with my wife. I am allowed to do that but I suppose we should all go back before we get into trouble."

"Was it you? We kept hearing someone walking by the bathroom. There's that annoying sound of glass clinking in your pocket," Reed said, looking at the bulge in the servant's right pants pocket. The sound of glass rubbing together kept annoying him when he was inside the bathroom. Someone did a terrible job at spying on them.
