[Margaret's Perspective]
The maid rejected my request to unlock the handcuffs, and she didn't move at all from outside the door even when I went to the bathroom.
Sitting on the toilet, I carefully observed the layout of the restroom and, finding no chance to escape, decisively chose to give up. It seemed that the only opportunity for me and Brand would be during outings.
After finishing in the bathroom, I turned the water at the sink to its maximum, using the noise to cover the conversation between the maid and me, "This isn't the usual place where you detain captives, is it? Is the second floor where your master lives? Will she be back tonight? Why do some of you refer to her as 'Miss' and others as 'Master'?"
While speaking, I turned to look at her with a smile on my face, "Don't be so tense; I was just asking casually. If you think there's something you can answer, then tell me. It's fine if you don't speak about the rest."
