Chapter 357: Getting trapped

Roselia pov contd

I have met this man hundreds of times in the past. But this was the first time he was looking like a devil reincarnate to me. It might be due to the darker room or my fear of being caught. But a layer of sweat formed on my face and I was afraid the dark colour I had used on my face would fade if I wiped it. The time was ticking like an explosion was nearby.

"So, she is flying high because of that dumb wit. I must say I have been given a lot of freedom. And what the hell he is doing here again. Did he not love his life anymore? Call both of them here right now. I will deal with them personally today" he shouted, finally moving my gaze away from her face.

To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. He was talking about Philip as if he was his staff, not the prince of a nation. And how that hell was I supposed to call both of them, I didn't even know where were they? And why were they still together?!

"Just look at her shocked face, my lord. Is she not a trained maid? I haven't even seen her before." said Lucas and I was not sure if I should lie that I served Philip, since they were going to call him here too.

I acted to shiver further as if I was frozen at my place. That was why I was not able to reply further.

The marquess gave a look of disdain to Lucas.

"Do you think infiltrating my palace is that easy. She must be a dumb one since she came here without knowing the consequences. Get out of this place and do not show your face again. And you go and find both of them and bring them here. 

I can not believe that they were wasting time at this crucial moment." I ran out of the room as they continued to curse Isabella and Philip. 

The knights laughed at me when they saw me coming out of the room full of sweat and fear.

I walked out as if I was going for work but I hid in a corner from where I could still see the door.

Soon the same man named Lucas came out of the office and walked towards the direction the maid had told me. I could not see him once he turned to the left.

After what felt like an eternity the man came back with Isabella and Philip following him. Isabella was looking much better now but they both were looking very serious.

They both walked in and I was sure they were not going to come out anytime sooner.

I moved from there and walked towards the place where Isabella and Philip were, hoping that I could hear a few maids gossiping since there was no way I could enter the office again.

I went to the same room I knocked earlier and this time it was ajar. When I entered , two maids were there cleaning the room. But my eyes were still in bed.

The bedsheet was too crumpled as if.. I shook my head at the thought. Marianne was right, I was becoming a pervert.

I took one corner and started cleaning in a hope to get some clues as it was Isabella's room when I heard both maids talking.

"Move your hands fast and leave the room before my lady comes back. She would come in a very bad mood and if she still saw us there, all the anger would be taken out on us." her words were filled with fear.

They both increased her speed while i kpet looking at her. I moved away from them towards the cupboards and tried to open them. I saw the portrait of Elizabeth and Killian, but there was something written on it. But before I could take it out and read, the maid called me again.

"What are you doing there? And who are you?" her voice was sharp.

"I was trying to find a parchment left by his highness here. He had asked me to come and get it." I bluffed and she frowned.

"Strange, he had never brought his maids here before. What kind of parchment was that, i will look for it., you are not allowed to touch things here." she said as she walked towards me and opened the cupboard herself.

I saw there were a few dates written on it. But then she closed it and opened another drawer. 

"You still have not told what kind of parchment it was?" she asked and I pursued my lips.

"I think I should go and ask his highness again." I replied meekly and she turned to look at me.

"Seriously, you are a fool."

"This must be the reason she is here. Hahaha" they both laughed at me and I reluctantly walked out of the room.

"Did he even bring a parchment when he came here to have fun?" I heard them commenting and my steps halted for a second.

But then I increased my speed. Since I could not achieve much from here, I should find a way to leave the palace.

I walked back in front of the office when I saw Isabella going towards her room. Her face was red and fingerprints were visible on it. Her lips even have dried blood in the corner.

In the past an hour or so i was only getting shocks aftershocks. I knew that Marquees was angry but I never thought that he would beat a lady like that.

But if she was here, did that mean, Philip also left. My eyes widened as I ran towards the entrance. I climbed stairs in a haste that I even forgot for a minute that I have to work stealthily.

I walked in a hurry towards the entrance when i heard a voice filled with poison,

"Where do you think you are going after snitching on me?"
