Chương 54: Esme's identity

While Esme was in the room, a few servants came to set the table for dinner. She let them in, concluding that they must be sent here by Aleister. Esme noticed their gazes settling on the two beds in the room, divided by a huge thick curtain in between. 

The corner of her lips twitched but it did not take them long to avert their gaze as they settled the food trolley near the table. They were mindful of their behavior, just in case they offended the Prince.

''You all can leave,'' Esme blinked looking at their rabbit-like movements, small and steady. Even though the Prince was not in the room, she noticed them trembling. 

And as soon as the words escaped her mouth, they bowed at her. Their faces remained stoic but Esme could sense their relief and gratefulness for letting them leave the devil's den before he came. ''Is he that scary...?" Esme mumbled to herself looking at their fleeing backs.
