Chapter 974: Offended Your Highness, The Queen_1

The area inside the tower was after all very small.

There was a staircase behind the living room, leading up to the queen's bedchamber.

It was said that one could catch a glimpse of the queen's bedchamber window from a building very close to the opposite side of the high tower.

However, after so many years, no one had ever seen the queen draw her curtains.

Hank Clegg had just started climbing the stairs when he saw a petite maid coming down with a tray in her hands.

The sudden encounter startled them both in different degrees.

Needless to say, the maid was naturally shocked to see a strange man in the bedchamber, almost dropping the tray in her hands.

What surprised Hank Clegg, however, was that he hadn't heard her footsteps or sensed her presence as she came from the bedchamber.

Granted, the carpet was very thick, but there seemed to be some other elements at play.

Before the maid could cry out, Hank Clegg had already leapt forward and covered her mouth.
