Forbidden boundaries- Part 2

Heidi turned around to look at the lord with a worried expression. She didn't know what to do, it was rather late for her to be visiting the lord and if rumors spread it wouldn't be good. She did wonder why a maid would arrive at this hour if it weren't for unethical joy of the lord. Her narrowed eyes amused the lord which she quickly schooled her features.

The lord then looked at the door, placing his hand on hers which was on the doorknob to open the door slowly.

"What is it? Didn't I inform Stanley to make sure no one enters these corridors until asked?" he asked in a sharp tone at the maid making both the maid and Heidi who was behind the door flinch.

"F-forgive me m-master that, one of the guests a-asked to deliver you t-this," from where Heidi stood, covered behind the door she could see Nicholas' quiet glare as the maid stuttered. Taking something from the maid which was a letter, he dismissed the maid and closed the door shut. Skimming his eyes over the envelope.
