Nighttime came, yet Oriana's moody master showed no signs of returning. Other servants would be happy to be idle for an entire day, but that was not the case for her.
'This Lord, if he stays out like this always and I hardly get a chance to interact with him, how am I gonna impress him? What about my plans to enter the palace? Where is he? Has he gone to the brothel again to spend a night?'
She frowned inwardly.
'I can't waste my days like this. Master Cenric will arrive in Karlin in four days, maybe five if there is delay. I need to do something, but what?'
She continued to pace around in the main chamber, once in a while looking outside the window to see if she could see him returning. However, aside from the patrolling guards, the entire Ahren Residence looked quiet.
'Seems like he is not returning tonight as well,' she sighed.
