"Where is everyone?"

"Dead?" Susan asked as she exchanged a look with Williams before looking at Alvin. "How? Did you kill her?" She asked suspiciously, and Alvin tried not to scowl at her.

Although he wished he had killed the maid earlier when they first began to suspect her, as that would have saved them the trouble, but then, whoever had used her would have used someone else. And it irked him how Susan jumped to the conclusion that he was the one who killed her. Why was he surprised? She seemed to be good at jumping to conclusions.

"Her rotting corpse was found in the village river.

She has been dead for some days," Alvin said as they arrived at the palace. He didn't bother to tell them about her being a twin since that wasn't their business and there was no point in giving them that information.

He was yet to give Harold the details about the twins since Harold had gotten off the bed and hurried down to the torture hall the moment he got off the bed and dressed up.
