The mansion's main parts where the whole family resides were also relatively peaceful, although, in contrast to Layla's corridor, servants were moving along the corridor. As she walked, she saw two maids cleaning the vases on the side table. One had auburn hair that was tied in two braids and the other one with black hair tied up in a bun. Compared to her other co-worker, the maid with ebony hair appeared more mature.
The maids there were probably the first ones she encountered after leaving her stepmother's room. They were chatting in a voice so low it sounded like a faint whisper but she could still hear some parts of conversations. The usual gossip, Layla thought to herself. She was about to walk past them by ignoring them but a part of their conversation caught her attention.
The girl with auburn hair said, "Yes, that was frightening, the way Lord was yelling."
Lord, they must be talking about her father. What were they talking about him?
