Chapter 25 (1/2)

Cold ht wore on, the only thing Cah her head She didn't have tih her it snuffed out all her shock, confusion and despair

It was obviously done out of malice

It was an attempt to personally hurt Camilla

Someone truly wanted to hu that always happened behind her back, so and low

Who was it that stood above Nicole, controlling her like a puppet?

– Do you really think I a to just stay depressed like this?

Whoever did this was obviously rejoicing in her suffering So, the longer she ed in misery, the more fun they would have

Therefore, can she really afford to sit here feeling sorry for herself? Caht end up doing so even more enemies, but so be it

– I need to hear what Nicole has to say

Who put her up to it? Why did they want to open up her old wounds with such an imitation? Just as it that wanted to humiliate her like this?

– I will tear you down

Alois promised her he would find the culprits, but Camilla wasn't the type of person that could just sit idly by and entrust everything to someone else

She would find out as behind this herself

As she chewed her lip as if to bite back her rage, Cah thearea

There was a large room on the second floor with beds and cots lined up next to one another, it didn't getservants and maids were quartered When they were older, they would climb the ranks and move on to have their own rooms

She moved to the sectioned off part where thecurtain that separated the sexes, she couldn't see Nicole at all When she questioned the other young maids, they said that some of the senior o to the northern rooround floor That here the senior maids had their rooms

Those rooms were the northerner senior iven individual rooms but would instead bunk with several others Still, they had ot better food and pay as well

The first three rooms that she ca senior ht leaked out from the open doorway, as the other two doors were shut

It was still early afternoon Although it ht, these north facing rooht so they could become dark quite easily

There are people inside

She couldn't see anyone else in the hallway either Should she rush in noait and see? As she hesitated, she heard a voice

“Nicole! Did you really do it the e told you!?”

Camilla held her breath on instinct

She really had beco for a culprit right now! You didn't say anything stupid, did you? You said e told you to say, right?”

As the girl spoke, Nicole's body becae over her in height or weight, over the years she had known her, she had been conditioned to fear her

“‘I did it all ht!? I don't think it's possible, but did you rat us out? You knoill happen to you if that's true, don't you?”

That girl's curly and soft hair was the sairl didn't have freckles and seemed to care a bit more for her appearance than Nicole, the two of them looked very si that the same blood flowed in their veins

“Hurry up and say soirl shoved Nicole hard on the shoulder Nicole staggered backward a step, but she still said nothing She s would only get worse if she opened her mouth So, it would be better to just not say a word

As she watched Nicole stay taciturn, the other girl scratched at her hair in frustration Standing next to her, the other maids tried to calm her doith a ‘no'

“Calet found out”

“That's right Just because he's searching for a culprit won't help him if he has no idea who the culprit is”

Those irl down definitely weren't taking Nicole's side If anything, they wanted nothing to do with her
