Chapter 115

Before Carynnes expression could start to crumple, the housekeeper quickly added one more thing, as a sort of excuse.

More than anyone else, I believe you know why, Miss.

Right.

Of course, Carynne knew the reality of the situation better than the housekeeper. Compared to investigating one maids disappearance, it was much more of an important matter to keep Prince Lewis stay in this residence comfortable.

Even within one day here in the capital, there were several cases of women like Donna disappearing. Very few of them would even come back as corpses. Its that kind of world.

Tak.

Carynne went back into her room, at the annex that Countess Elva had provided.

Even if it was just a separate building, it was quite a luxurious place to stay in, given that it had been provided by the counts family. This place wasnt so bad.

She thought of Donna. Her room was just a short distance away from Carynnes room.

She then set off towards the place she had never entered before.

The maids staying at that maids room had changed from time to time. It was Nancy who stayed there most of the time. Sometimes it was Sera. Its the first time that Donna had lived in it.

It was only a bit of a whim, but Carynne sometimes thought about slitting Donnas throat one day. Shes thought about this sometimes after she had strangled Nancy.

Carynne did not like the constant stream of confusion she was being subjected to. She had intended to work hard in this lifeto kill, and kill and then kill some more. She wanted to test how far shed be able to go while avoiding Raymonds eyes. That had been Carynnes purpose.

But Dullan messed it up with that stupid wager thats not even funny.

The purpose she had set for herself in this life had all gone to bust because of Dullan. Carynnes entertainment had, in the end, become nothing more than a waste of time. Even if it was something as exciting as murder.

The end that Carynne had wished forit was worth less than her own true death.

Dullan had put a halt to Carynnes next murder attempt, but by now, Carynne was less and less inclined to keep up this wager.

This was because Raymonds love had eventually turned out to be the same as before, unchanged. It would have been more interesting if he tried to kill Carynne, but his unchanged love was raising her doubts once again.

She shook her head.

Right now, rather than Raymond or Dullan, Carynne was more curious about Donna. Just as Nancys death had shown something new to Carynne, what new things would she be able to see with Donnas?

Usually, the maids should stay at the main mansion, however Carynnes maids always followed her to where she was. Nancy was considered as Carynnes physician, so how about Donna?

Creeeak.

Would it be so fun if it turns out that Donnas actually behind the serial murders?

She opened the door.

And she was disappointed.

Donnas room was no different.

Carynne stared at the small bed, the small window, the small closet and the small deskthis room was just like any other servants room. Just that. A room like this could be seen even in the Hare manor. An exceedingly typical room.

Ordinary maidservants usually shared rooms together, but Donna was a little different. Since she was a guests servant, she had a room to herself like this. It was a bit of a lonely room.

I think its fun.

People, disappearing.

Thats something that has never happened before.

Anything other than the norm is a good thing. Any type of change is fun.

Right?

Ow.

Carynne changed the way she was laying on the bed, rubbing her sore back. Regardless of how anyone would say that this was a mere cheap bed, this was just too much.

No, it seemed like there was something lying beneath.

This reminded her of an old tale. Once upon a time, there was a princess who could not endure the inconvenience brought upon her by a tiny little pea that was lying beneath the twelve thick mattresses that she was laying oncomplete with even duck feather duvets over those mattresses.

But what Carynne was lying down over wasnt a pea, and Donnas bed was definitely not that thick. This was a maids bed after all.

It was something much bigger than a pea

Like a box.

Something of this size couldnt possibly have been put here by mistake. Anyone would grimace and sit up immediately because of a thing of that size laying underneath them. And even if they couldnt see it, theyd definitely notice it right away after lying down once.

She got up. Theres something on the floor underneath the bed. So, she would take it out.

Carynne grabbed the bed over its fabric. It was a little heavy, but not to the point that she couldnt lift it alone. The dusty bedframe started creaking, but that was of no concern to her. Something important was down there.

Oh my.

There lay a treasure chest beneath.

Carynne pulled it out, her eyes twinkling.

A treasure chest?

It was literally a chest that looked like a treasure chest. As it was wrapped in purple silk, Carynne wrenched away the cover.

Such a thing stood out like a sore thumb inside a maids room.

When the cloth was relentlessly pulled away, she then saw a light brown wooden box.

If she opened it now, what would come out of it?

Carynne calmed her rising exhilaration, a smile tugging up on the corners of her lips.

Donnas money? A secret diary? No, probably not. If its something like those things, Donna would have taken them with her when she disappeared.

Carynne was now expecting that it was related to herself.

If Nancy was someone who had messed with Carynnes memories, then maybe Donna was also connected to Carynne in a similar way?

Or what if its actually, boooom! A bom
