686 It seems like I need to be careful

The meeting with the king actually took the entire day since there were many things that had to be discussed.

When it was over, it was already dark, so we all had dinner together.

After dinner, I went off to my room and settled for the night.

I thought that I would be able to get some time alone, but that wasn't the case.

I heard some noise coming from outside my room, so I went to check it.

I found that there was a cloaked figure who was standing there with two maids that were tied up. I recognized these maids since they were part of the ones that served me during this time, so I couldn't help being confused why they were tied up.

That confusion became even stronger since I recognized the person that was trying them up.

It was Shadow Five who was standing over them with a rope in her hand.

I looked at Shadow Five with a strange look and asked, "What's going on here?"

Shadow Five turned to look at me before saying in a calm voice, "I caught them trying to sneak into your room, so I stopped them and tied them up."

"Sneaking into my room?" I repeated before saying with a serious look, "Were they trying to hurt me?"

Shadow Five slowly shook her head before saying, "No, it's not like that."

There was a strange tone to her voice as she said this that I didn't understand.

I just looked at Shadow Five with a strange look, as I tried to figure out what she meant by this. But I wasn't able to figure it out in the end, so I asked, "What do you mean?"

Shadow Five seemed to lower her head a bit when I asked this.

Though I wasn't able to see her face, it was as if I could see what she was feeling by the way that she was acting.

The two maids lowered their heads again before saying, "Yes, your highness."

Then they left without a single word with their heads lowered the entire time.

There was a strange feeling that filled me when I saw all of this.

After a while, Angela turned back to me to say, "It seems that the rumour has spread further than I thought. I need to be even more careful in the future."

I looked at her with a strange look before asking, "You're alright with them sneaking into my room at night?"

Angela tilted her head to look at me with a confused look before saying, "Isn't this normal for a noble?"

I looked back at her with a confused look.

Seeing this, Angela said, "Nobles have the right to be with any women that they want, so there are maids that sneak into the room of their masters to climb up to a better position. This is just one of the things that happen when you're a noble. I mean, you're someone with many wives, so isn't this normal?"

Was it normal?

That was all I could think in response to this since in my previous world, the wife would have surely killed both the husband and the maid for something like this.

Even if this world had polygamy, it shouldn't be this open.

I was confused until I suddenly figured it out.

It was the influence of the game again.

When this world was a game, there had been night time events that happened when one took the noble route.

So even after this game world had become a real world, night time events were still a thing.

That was why Angela found all of this normal and wasn't even bothered by it.

It seemed that I still wasn't able to understand this world fully...
