"You know who the culprit is?" Richard paused, frowning that the woman knew more than she should.
"Yes, it was easy, your majesty. Only three maids had entered my room. June, Sally and Emma. my maids were confined somewhere." she added with a chuckle but Richard could feel the woman was blaming them.

He stared at Luke as if he was waiting for his response but the man just gritted his teeth.
"Your majesty, i can explain but i need.. Privacy for it." he hesitated for a second when Ana laughed again.
