Maidservant Ann took a lantern and carried it by the rod as she went out of the house. She had been too careful not to alert anyone that she was heading out. As she walked in the lonely path where there were trees at both sides, the cool wind blew in her direction and she gritted her teeth inside.
She was heading to the tutor's quarters. After what Eve had told her and what she heard from Mina, she realized that she hasn't really given a thought about the tutor, starting from the first day she saw him and how he requested to walk with the princess. Then from knowing that it was Eve who pretended to be the princess and yet, he still taught her and didn't get angry about it or report the issue. That was all fine, until he started to relate with Eve to the point of taking her out of the palace.
