"What?" Anni, confusedly asked. 

"About people disappearing!"

"I did… it's so scary whenever I return home," Jane looked at her coworkers, her eyebrows raised with worry. 

"Thank lord I stay in the servants quarters!" Anni sighed in relief.

"Maybe I should ask if I can stay back with the handmaid," Hilda worriedly said.

Gasping in fear, the four maids quickly shut their mouths. 

"About that, what are you girls talking about? It seems quite interesting," Cynthia smiled at them, turning to face her four personal maids. 

"W-well…" Anni stammered. 

"Just tell her. She will hear about it elsewhere anyways," the middle aged lady beside Anni whispered.
