While waiting for the maids to prepare the coffee and desserts, Louis suggested Charlotte to have a rest in the study room first.

Therefore, she headed to it with Lupine and Morgan. A while later, the maids served them premium coffee and desserts.

Now that we are still tracking the suspects who might have sneaked into the manor, her lineup will surely draw unwanted intentions in a way.

Lupine echoed by lowering her voice. “Not to mention, Sir Louis is apparently without a sense of vigilance. I notice his subordinates tend to let their guards down when they change their shifts in slow motion. What if any dangerous person takes advantage to sneak in at any moment?”
