Chapter 404: The Detective in the Wardrobe

Thud, thud, thud~

As Shard's gaze shifted to the door, there indeed came a knocking from outside. Lecia frowned discontentedly as she looked towards the door, where the guard outside informed the princess that the mistress of the manor, Miss Hevy Aurora, had arrived.

"That woman, really... Shard, you find somewhere to hide for now."

Lecia apologized to Shard and then saw that he was already preparing to duck under the desk:

This was a guest room in the manor being used as a temporary resting room for the banquet. The most convenient hiding spot was actually the washroom inside the room, but Shard always felt that it wasn't a safe place.

After discovering that under the desk was also unsafe, his eyes immediately caught sight of the wardrobe standing in the corner, and he quickly opened it and crawled in. Apart from a fishing rod standing in the corner, it was filled with ladies' garments.
