Ellen was not sure why the king asked her such a question but she still answer. "Your Majesty, I saw the maps yesterday they were carelessly placed on the table so I asked the servant to place them in a box, I did touch it, but it was only to know what they were," Ellen answered honestly.

"Why are you asking such a question?" Lady Magret could tell that something was wrong.

"Four of the maps are missing, and it seems the Queen was the last person to touch them," Jeffery answered.

"What do you mean the last person to touch them? What about the person who placed them in a box?" Lady Magret asked.

"He did not check them," the head servant replied.

"You point is, I tool the missing maps," Ellen raised her brows. She could not understand who will come up with such a stupid plot.

The Servant, of course, would not answer this question. Since he did not see her take them, he did not dare accused her.
