Damien and Kenneth's conversation was interrupted by a soft knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Kenneth looked towards the closed door and asked.
And in came the reply from Joyce, "It's me. I wanted to discuss a few changes in our today's plan."
"Ah! Give me a minute," Kenneth replied. He then glanced at the vial that Damien was still holding and then gestured for him to gulp it down. "Put the vial back in the box," he asked Damien and then headed to get the door.
Kenneth opened the door and saw another lady along with Joyce. Kenneth looked confused because she was carrying a tray in her hand, but at the same time, she wasn't wearing the gown that the maids of this castle wore.
Seeing Kenneth's confusion, Joyce smiled and then introduced the lady to Kenneth, "She is one of the guests of the castle. But she was insisting on helping me out. So, I brought her along with me. Her name is Miriam."
