章節 51: Afraid (1)

"Well," Sally's eyes drifted from Edgar to the ground as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. "Alessandra asked me to tie sheets together and hold onto them as she went out the window. I became scared because the baron wanted her to open the door and so I released the sheets causing her to almost fall to the ground." 

"And?" Edgar motioned for her to carry one after she stopped talking.

"There is nothing else," Sally softly replied. She did not know what more she needed to say.

"You are shaking with fear as if you have done something worse. You did something idiotic but Alessandra does not seem to care about it. If she doesn't care about this small matter, why would I care?" Edgar asked Sally.  "There are bigger things to be dealt with than you."
