Chapter 17

Upon arriving at the capital city terminal at dawn, a carriage was already lying In waiting for me and the head maid was the one beside it, waiting extremely anxious and seems to be depraved of sleep. I noticed this because her hair is quite messy than her usual style. 

"There you are, MY LORD!" (head maid)

Without letting me to give a reply, she dragged me along with the sleeping glutton inside the carriage and tells the coachman to head straight to the mansion immediately. She looked kinda scary...

"Whats this about?"

I ask the anxious and exhausted head maid, who was seated in front of me inside the carriage. 

"The Mistress… she…" (head maid)

Huh? Did something happen to Tris!? But the shadows didn't tell me anything about this? Sure, they wanted me to head back as soon as possible. But I didn't expect that something had happened to Tris. Wait, let's not jump to conclusion. I need to ask the head maid first.

"W-what about her?"
