A couple of dozen minutes have passed since the interview had started. Kant had asked Carl a lot of questions. Some he prepared, and some he made up on the spot. All to which, Carl gave a satisfactory answer. However, not all was good.
As the secession progressed, Kant noticed a few things while he questioned and interviewed the candidate. Whenever he asks Carl a question from his list, Carl will provide a very long and detailed answer to it. However, when he asked a question that is his own, his answers were much shorter.
It was an observation that tingled Kant's suspicion. He started to wonder whether it was related to the other things; his missing pen, someone opening his drawer without his permission, as well as the rather attractive maids with a dodgy past that have been recently hired at his castle. Could all of them be connected?
"Are there any more questions you have for me, sir?" Carl asked Kant with a gentle, innocent smile on his face.
