Someone was following them.
Hansel didn't know who but he could feel the presence of someone lingering in the shadows and watching their movements.
Who could it be?
Someone who had a grudge towards Lucien? Perhaps a former servant or maybe a common thief who was attracted to their wealth and didn't know who they were.
Nevertheless, he would deal with him secretly so that his master would not be disturbed.
"Your Grace, Lady Euphemia, I have some things to take care of this evening. May I take my leave?" Hansel asked.
"Oh, sure! We've already settled in here anyway," Euphemia said.
"Just be back in the morning," Lucien said.
Lucien seemed to sense Hansel's intentions but chose not to mention it so as to not worry Euphemia.
"Yes, Your Grace," Hansel said.
He bowed quickly and left.
There's that shadow again.
Strange.
It was following him instead of Lucien and Euphemia.
Hansel smirked.
