Frederick smirk. He finally realized that the maid wanted but his wife was still not convinced.
"I know you. You were serving lady Anastasia at the party. Do you think we will trust your words?" She tried to hold the arms of her husband and pulled him back into the room when the maid gritted her teeth.
"Yes, I was serving her the whole time. But she did not look at me. She did not offer me a job in the duchy as I had expected. Not to forget about that, she did not offer me any reward either. As if my services are for free!
I want her to bear the consequences and I want some gold coins for myself. If you can't give five, four is fine too." she repeated coldly as she extended her hands and waited for the man to place some gold coins in her hands.
"I will give you ten coins instead." he laughed when the maid's eyes widened.
"Fredrick! I don't think it is a good idea. Did you not see the result of rash decisions of baron Neverie." she warned her husband but he just smirked.
