Chapter: 55

Then she called the three new maids.

“Can everyone come this way for a while?”

The maids stood side by side with a strange face.

Astelle pulled out the medicine box from the dressing table.

“Has anyone ever opened this box today?”

The maids looked at each other and shook their heads. One of them said as a representative, “No, Lady. We are not allowed to open the items our owner’s belonging.”

“Okay. Originally it is.”

The maid must not open the items the owner put in the drawer unless the order to clean them has been given.

It was a natural rule.

Astelle said calmly, tying the gold ornaments on the medicine box.

“But it looks like someone has opened this.”

The maids who looked at it with confused faces were bewildered at those words.

The maids glanced at Lyndon standing outside.

It seemed that only now did they feel the matter was serious.

“Actually, someone has opened this since yesterday, but I can’t figure out who the culprit is, so I opened the drawer a little today. I wanted the culprit to know that I had seen this out. Then maybe the culprit wondered what was different so the culprit tried to open it again.”

While she was in the greenhouse, someone opened the box.

The stitches were the same as before, but the thread attached to the hinge of the box was separated.

The maids’ faces hardened.

Astelle asked, watching their expressions, “Who visited this room when I wasn’t here?”

“No, I’m not.”

“So who of your guesses?”

“Lady…… we all entered this room today.”

This room was splendid, and several rooms were connected such as the bedroom, the living room, and the bathroom.

Each of the maids went here and there to clean and organize, so it was difficult to specify what they were doing.

Astelle looked at the box’s butterfly clasp.
