"Edgar, men like you and I are used to these types of conversations but we should not let the duchess hear what we are about to discuss. We should move to a private room," said Edmund.
"I do not mind," Alessandra said to Edmund's surprise. If she asked about it later, Edgar would tell her what was discussed. Why wait when she could hear it now? "I am curious to know what happened to Jennifer and why you have come to Edgar instead of reporting it to the town guards."
"It was my understanding that you did not like the maid? Didn't she harm you?" Edmund did not see why she would want to know about someone who hurt her. Shouldn't she be glad the girl was dead?
