Neonidas, with the help of two child girls, managed to identify the maid who was still lingering in the mansion. Afterward, he told the girls to return to their play and leave the matter to him. The maid, who had been spying, was currently alone in a room, ostensibly cleaning but clearly searching for any useful information she could find.
When Neonidas entered the room, the maid immediately straightened up, masking her expression with professional grace and bowing her head respectfully. However, Neonidas could sense she was on edge, prepared for any sudden attack. Considering she was likely sent by a duchy or at least someone of considerable power, it was safe to assume her skills were advanced. While she might not be able to defeat him in a fight, she could definitely escape if given the chance.
