Driven by curiosity, I crept closer to them, careful not to interrupt their discussion. My heart pounded with a mix of anticipation and thrill. As I got closer, I could make out bits and pieces of their conversation. My name and the words 'royal library' were repeated a few times.
This both intrigued and scared me. Why were they discussing the royal library?
At this moment, a sudden memory flashed through my mind. I recalled being in the royal library, finding that secret room, and stealing that strange book for the mysterious man. But then, I realized that I couldn't remember what had happened after I took the book.
Had I really given it to that man? Or had I been caught in the act? My mind was blank, and I couldn't recall any details.
As I was lost in thought, my maid Lily's voice broke through my reverie. "What do you think was stolen from the royal library?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
