'Reya and Clio. Maybe Yula must have told them to…?'
Just then, her servants entered her chamber with huge grins on their faces.
"Good morning, Miss," both greeted her who were looking at them, only for her to ask them something but…
"Miss, what is that in your hand?" Clio asked.
"I saw it last evening when we brought tea for you but forgot to ask," Reya added.
'So not these two,' Ember concluded. "Did Yula visit my chamber this morning?"
"Miss, that is impossible. Dame Yula returned to her home last night after finishing her work and she is on leave for a few days," Clio answered promptly.
"Leave?"
"Dame Yula's daughter would be returning home, so she took a leave to spend time together as a family."
"Dame Yula really loves her daughter."
'So it was not Yula,' Ember concluded again. 'Then there is no other culprit. It had to be him. Did he… Did he really?'
Her face felt very, very hot.
