Chapter 464 - 464: Talking To Milena
"What do you want to talk to her about?" Arthur asked, intrigued. What could the maid of the guest Palace talk about? What could be so important? Did she find out something about the enemies?"
"That... I can"t tell you. I only want to tell Her Majesty and no one else. Please forgive me, Lord Arthur."
"Is it really that serious? You can"t even tell me? That"s making me even more curious. Tell us what happened. We are the trusted men of Her Majesty. Doubting her is the same as doubting her," Arthur responded. "Tell me, and I"ll tell her."
.
"I apologize, but I must tell her first. It"s something private. I can only tell her, and then she can decide if she needs to tell others or not," the maid answered, not telling.
Even though she was scared of Arthur, who was one of the highest-ranking n.o.ble Lords, she couldn"t tell him before telling Milena. She didn"t want this information to get to Sirius, who was just as influential as Arthur.
She didn"t know who here was working with Sirius. She knew her life would be in danger if someone knew about this. So she only wanted one person to know.
She believed that after Milena knew, she wasn"t going to tell anyone. Moreover, she was certainly going to kill Sirius. After that, she was going to have no risk to her life.
"Fine." Arthur sighed. "Just tell me one thing. Is it related to the guests there?"
"It"s not." The maid shook her head.
"You can go to her then," Arthur let out as he started walking away. He was only interested in it if it was related to those people. Any other secret was just a random thing for him which he wasn"t concerned about.
Just as Arthur left, the n.o.ble continued taking the maid to Milena. She soon brought her to the room of Milena, which was being guarded by two n.o.ble Lords.
As the last two n.o.ble Lords who guarded the place were killed, this place was replaced by two new Warlocks.
None of the two guards had any Weapon.
"This woman wants to meet Her Majesty. She says she has something important to talk about."
"Alright. I"ll ask Her Majesty. If she says yes, the girl can go in."
The n.o.ble Lord knocked on the door and announced about the woman being here to meet Milena.
"Send her in." Milena"s voice came from inside the room.
"You can go in." The n.o.bles opened the door and allowed the woman to enter.
As the maid entered, she was able to see the bed, which was covered in a white silky bed sheet, but no person was on the bed.
Her gaze roamed all around the room, but she couldn"t find Milena anywhere.
Soon, the other door in the room opened, and Milena stepped out. Her hair was still wet as she had just finished taking a shower. Her slim figure was wrapped in a towel that covered most of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and her thighs.
"Speak. What brought you here?" Milena asked the maid while walking to the wardrobe.
"Y-your Majesty." The maid went down on her knees in respect.
"Don"t bother with all that. Just tell me what brought you here," Milena let out, not even looking back.
She continued going through the wardrobe, not even looking back.
"Ah, yes. This should be good." She picked a beautiful red gown and placed it on the bed.
"I still don"t hear you. Are you going to speak or not?" she asked, frowning.
"Ah, right. Your Majesty, I came here to talk to you about Lord Sirius," the maid answered.
"What about him?" Milena asked, still not looking at her.
She opened her towel and tossed it on the bed before she walked back to the bed and started getting dressed.
"Your Majesty, today he came to meet Lucifer who is staying in the Guest Palace."
"And? Even Arthur went to meet him. Why are you only mentioning one person then?" Milena asked as she finished wearing the gown.
"Because I heard Lord Sirius"s conversation with Lucifer. I heard him talk about Her Majesty and the scheme he played on you."
"Scheme he played on me? What do you mean?" Milena asked, glaring at the maid.
"I heard him say that he wasn"t a guard in the Arian Palace when he freed you. Instead, he was a Prince in the Royal Palace. He was Prince Sirius Arian. Moreover, he made you think that he was helping you escape, but it was all his plan," the maid explained.
Milena didn"t say anything and simply kept hearing the maid describing the conversation that took place between Sirius and Lucifer.
"Are you telling the truth?" Milena asked, her frown deepening. You know the punishment of lying to me would be your head?"
"I know, Your Majesty. But every word of my statement is true," the maid replied. "That"s why I came here despite knowing the truth."
"Hmm, good. Very good. So that man really fooled me. Come with me. Let"s go where he is," Milena said. "You"re coming with me."
"Huh? I?"
"That"s right. I want you to see what happens to traitors too. Since you brought me the information, you deserve to see!"
"Your Majesty knows where he is? He left with Lucifer, it seemed. How do you know?"
"Don"t ask me questions! Come with me."
Milena left the room with the maid.
She left her room and started leaving. On the way, a few n.o.bles tried to accompany her, but she refused everyone. She didn"t let anyone follow me.
Through the eastern stairs, she went downstairs.
"Huh? We"re going to the bas.e.m.e.nt? Why? What"s happening here? Why would Sirius bring Lucifer here?"
The more the maid followed Milena, the more confused she became.
Milena brought her to the bas.e.m.e.nt. The door of the bas.e.m.e.nt was locked, but that didn"t last for long. Milena bit her finger lightly and made it bleed before she touched the lock.
As Milena"s blood touched the lock, it opened, allowing Milena and the maid to pa.s.s. The door once again closed behind them, locking.
Tuck~
Hearing the locking sound, the maid was scared, but she didn"t question Milena.
Milena continued taking her deeper and deeper into the bas.e.m.e.nt before she finally stopped.
"Here," she muttered.
Milena stood in front of a metallic door that seemed to be rusted for the most part. She again made her blood touch the gate.
With a metallic sound, the door opened on its own.
Milena stepped inside the room, and so did the maid, even though she was scared.
