Lucy was still thinking of a way to take Renata away since she knew walking inside the dark room was strictly prohibited.
Forget about the room, the sound around the room is enough for the prosecution of the staff. No maid had ever gone in. He cleaned and took care of the room himself and the moment he came out of the room, he looked gloomier and more irked with everything.
Yet Renata was banging the door with full force. And though her soft and weak hands did not have enough strength, she was fulfilling the deficiency with constant forceful bangs.
"My lady, please come with me. Let me hear what you need. I promise I will fulfil all your wishes!" how did it come to that!
Just an hour ago she was thinking that she had found the easiest job for herself and now she was standing in front of the guillotine.
"My lady, please.'' She sat on her knees so that she could reach the eyes of the little girl who was looking fanatic for some reason but before she could convince her further, the door of the room opened and his majesty was standing in front of them.
"What is all this commotion about?" he asked with a frown on his face while dark clouds could be seen floating above his head.
He looked around while his gaze settled on the maid at last who felt like she could not breathe anymore.
She started hiccuping with fear as her whole body trembled.
"I.. the lady!" She was embarrassed that she didn't even know the matter of Renata's panic as she stood there clueless in front of the beast whose face grew darker.
He was about to open his mouth and give her the death sentence when Renata , hesitating, moved forwards and held his pants and shook them.
"Penny! Penny.. She was taken away and i could not help her.'' In fact, just to see your cruelty, I gave her to that man on a silver platter.' she had decided that she would never ask for the help of the man who had killed her mercilessly.
But that did not mean that she could behave coldhearted like him and let Penny die. That man, intent to kill was clear in his eyes.
The only thing she miscalculated was the person that was targeted.
She wanted to show the world how her father was a monster that wanted to kill his own daughter again and again and the last mistake was not of maids but he had commanded them.
Who would have thought.. No, there is no time to think. It has already been a long time and she might.. Her whole body trembled with that thought.
Though she was cold to everyone, she still was a baby and death scared her.
Tears started to form in her eyes and she started to turn hysterical.
"Why are you still standing here? Do you not feel any concern for her?
Even if that is the case, save her! Save her for me and I promise that I will do anything you say.
Please your majesty, save her.'' She continued to cry and beg and her miserable pleas were heart wrenching that even Luci was having a hard time in stopping her.
When she moved closer to Renata, Renata jerked her hands away and continued to stare at the cold face of her father without a fear for herself. All she cared about was the young woman who was naive and had no idea how the world worked.
"Are you not going to save her? Are you so cruel?" she was done pleading. Now she was feeling rage. Her hands that were holding his dress clenched into a fist and she started punishing him with anger but her hands weighed nothing to him.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at her face that was stained with tears. Her knees were scraped. She must have fallen while coming here and her hair was disheveled.
"Who are you talking about?"
"......" Renata raised her head with shock. Is this man real? Was he even listening to her?
She must have mocked her father for his foolish question if it would have been any other case. But right now, she was the one who needed him.
"Penny, Penelope, my new nanny and the widow of some marquess or viscount it was… a man with wide shoulders took her telling you to call for her but it had been so long that she had not returned.
I want you to send the knights in search of her. It is not easy to take anyone out of the palace so easily. She must be here." she spoke in a hurry yet her voice and actions were clear but he stayed silent.
And when she had thought that he was not going to help, he finally nodded his head. He raised his head and stared at the four knights that were standing on the side with a troubled look on their face, nodded their head and left from there.
"They would bring your nanny back." he spoke in the same expressionless voice and before she could really he closed the door.
"........." she stared wide-eyed as he slammed the door on her face.
Such nerver! You!
Before she could kick the door with anger, Lucy held her shoulders and pulled her back.
"Did you say someone took a penny with her? Don't worry. I know almost all of the shortcuts of the palace. Come with me, we shall look for her too. What if the knights were late?"
