His New Quarters

Seeing her leave, Aiden didn't go after her as he didn't want to relive the same exact scene once again.

Instead, he thought that it would be great for him to go to sleep.

He had stayed awake for quite a long time in the trial and it was starting to get to him as it started to become visible on his face.

But there was a problem, he still didn't know where he could sleep. 

Maelis hadn't told him if he could actually stay here or not.

Returning to the Slums wasn't really a problem, but he still remembered about his maid, and he didn't know if she had come or not yet.

Wanting to know where he would need to sleep, he started walking in the direction of Maelis's office.

But as he got closer, he started hearing the same voice as earlier, the voice of Emma, who was talking to Maelis.

"Mom, I'm telling you, he's a bad guy. He tried to touch my melons as soon as we were alone," she said, completely lying to her mother.
