"What's happening in there?" Chris asked the maid who just went out of Elsa's room.
The maid promptly curtsied to Chris and said, "Your Highness, the lady inside has gone to the bath chamber and locked the door from the inside. She has been there for quite some time. When Lady Constance called out to her, there was no response. If you'll excuse me, I must find someone to open the door." With another respectful nod, the maid left.
Interrupting the maid's leaving, Chris remarked, "There's no need for that. I can handle it." The maid acknowledged his offer and guided Chris to the bath chamber.
As Chris entered the room, everyone present respectfully greeted him with a bow, though he paid little attention. He swiftly unbuttoned his shirt, causing the maids to avert their eyes, trying not to look as he removed it.
