/"This is the kitchen. I spend most of my time experimenting here. I am training as a chef./" Valerie said gesturing towards the silverware and the large counter where at least five cooks were working. There was a door at the end of the aisle. It led to the back of the mansion where most of the garbage was dumped. Leaving the kitchen, Valerie led me towards the stairs. Something dark caught my eye in the way. Under the stairs, two guards were standing in front of a black door. It was hidden from normal view well. I wouldn't have noticed it if Valerie didn't choose these stairs.
/"What's there?/" I asked pointing at them making Valerie freeze. She followed the line of my sight and paled before threw me an incredulous look.
/"Um... That... That is the basement. We keep all the outdated and unimportant things there./" She said avoiding the topic but I was adamant.
