Odalis had come inside the study as usual to clean it when she had heard the door open and her husband dragged Eleanor with him while Killian followed them silently. She wondered what had happened for the old Duke to be infuriated with his own kids. She wanted to find out more. So, she hid herself in a place that was not that easily visible while she could hear everything from where she was.
This was one of her hiding places in the study and she had used it to eavesdrop on her husband to find out more about her son, Calix. But the problem was, Duke Zale never spoke about him with anybody. And after a lot of trials, she was sure that other than her husband, nobody in the mansion knew where her son was. Not even Eleanor or Killian. So, she gave up trying to find out, but the hiding place was still intact. Odalis used it occasionally to find out what her husband was up to, just like now.
