Use her as a scapegoat (Eva & Jeffrey)

Jeffrey returned to the small court. The maid Sophina was already waiting there. She had her head lowered. It was clear that she was scared for her life. 

"Do you know this maid?" Jeffery passed the portrait to her. Sophina looked at the paper and nodded her head. She was more afraid to see the Empress walking in after Jeffery.

Ellen looked at the maid, she did not have great impressions of her, but she knew her. 

" How long have you known her?" Jeffery asked. 

"We grew up together and entered the Palace the same day," The maid answered honestly. After all, if she dared to lie about this, she would be caught, and the consequences would be dire

" Did you see her today?" Jeffery asked.

The maid did not know how to answer this question. The last time she saw her friend was the previous night. She knew better than anyone Jeffery would not just ask about her friend for no reason.
