Rosemond felt someone's presence, and stopped talking. On that one day, when she had been deprived of her title as Baroness, her distrust towards people had grown, and even after becoming a Marchioness, she only had a few maids remain in the Vain Palace. Not only that, there was no reason to feel any other presence in the room where she was now, because the rest of the maids had been sent away so that she could address this important topic. A chill went down Rosemond's spine.
"Glara, go and check it out."
"Yes, Marchioness."
As Glara caught on to the seriousness of the situation, she quickly ran to the doorway and opened the door. But there was nobody outside. Glara spoke in a flustered manner, "Marchioness, there is nobody here."
"Of course, whoever it was would have run away by now." Rosemond gave an order as she ground down her teeth. "Find whoever it was, now! This cannot leak out, at all costs!"
