Chapter 175 Power Of Rumours.

"What about the washing department?"

"Yes, they have washed all the clothes as well, the clothes are currently being sent to the ones they belong to,"

"Good job."

"Yes, thank you, subhead maid Edrea,"

"Hmm,"

"S-Subhead Maid Edrea?"

"Yes?"

"C-Can I leave now? I still have some work to do…"

"Alright, you can leave." Edrea nodded.

"Y-Yes, thank you! Subhead maid Edrea!" The maid bowed and then hurriedly left Edrea\'s room.

She was panicking hard.

She was scared!

It was only after she left Edrea\'s room did she sighed in relief and rushed away.

Soon, the maid found her friend that looked as worried as her and her friend questioned,

"You did not offend her, did you?"

"N-No. I did everything she told me to." The maid answered.

"Good." Her friend nodded.

"I just hope that I don\'t catch her eyes, I don\'t want to end up like Head Maid Edda…" The maid muttered with a pale face.

"Sssshhhh!! Don\'t say that out loud! What if she hears you!? You will die as well!" Her friend placed a finger on her lips and whispered.

"I-I am sorry…" The maid\'s face turned even paler, and then, the two of them quickly left the area.

Edrea, who heard everything from behind sighed.

It was the fourth day after she received Alger\'s message about him capturing Edda and rather than getting better, things were getting even worse for her.

\'Subhead Maid Edrea killed Head Maid Edda just because she punished her a little\'

This rumour spread all over the palace and the more days passed by, the stronger the rumour got.

In just 4 days, all the maids knew about it and they avoided Edrea like a plague.

Actually, it wouldn\'t have mattered to Edrea if she was just avoided by the others, however, things didn\'t stop there.

If the rumour gains more popularity, then the authorities might hear about it…

And if that happened, then they might-

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

While Edrea was thinking about all this, someone knocked on her door.

"Enter," She ordered.

Then, a man entered her room, followed by two soldiers, a small smile then appeared on the man\'s face as he muttered,

"Edrea Fox?"

"Yes, it is me."

"The Security department summons you. I hope you follow me without any resistance."

The man muttered with a small, \'gentle\' smile on his face.

Edrea gulped inwardly.

That is what she was worried about.

If the authorities heard about it, they might take action.

And they did.

"Yes, I\'ll follow you."

However, Edrea couldn\'t panic here.

She was innocent.

She didn\'t do anything.

"Alright." The man smiled.

Then, Edrea followed the 3 men and left the room.

…

A few minutes later, Edrea was sitting inside a room, in front of her, sat a man who had a small smile on his face and he wore clean refined clothes.

He had a scholarly look, however, Edrea dare not underestimate him.

He was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator.

"So, Miss Edrea, I won\'t waste much of our time. You have heard about the recent rumour going around, have you not?"

"I have"

Edrea was honest.

"Then what do you have to say about it?"

"I do not know how this rumour started, however, I can assure you that I did not do anything. To be honest, I don\'t even believe that Head Maid Edda is dead.

I think she just took a leave."

"A leave? Without informing the authorities?"

"It is not like she has never done it before, she just used her connections to hide it and took an \'official\' leave," Edrea revealed.

The man interrogating her didn\'t show a surprised expression, with Edda\'s influence, she could do something like that very easily.

However, he noticed something much more interesting,

"Hmmm. But Miss Edrea, even if Head Maid Edda did something like this, why do you know about it?

Your relationship with her wasn\'t exactly the best, there is no way she would have told you something like that, so am I right to assume that you were keeping eye on Head Maid Edda?"

"…"

Edrea stayed silent.

Actually, she was panicking inwardly.

FUCK!

She spoke too much!

There was no reason to do something stupid!

However, soon, Edrea calmed down and answered,

"Head Maid Edda was my competitor, of course, I kept my eyes on her," Edrea answered.

"Competitor?" The man interrogating Edrea narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I will admit, I wanted to become a head maid as well. However, I believe it is perfectly natural to aim higher.

Of course, that doesn\'t mean I will use unethical ways to achieve what I want."

Edrea answered.

She knew she can\'t fool this man, therefore, she stopped lying and started hiding the truth.

This way, it would be a lot harder to find holes in her story.

"Hmm, I understand, Miss Edrea" The man interrogating her nodded.

From his interrogation, he could feel that something was wrong with this maid. However, he wasn\'t sure if she was the one who killed Edda.

Of course, once he starts investigating, everything will be as clear as a day.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face and he muttered,

"Then Miss Edrea, you won\'t mind if we investigate you a little, do you?"

"Of course, not, sir. I am an innocent woman, I do not mind if you investigate me." Edrea answered.

She had already expected this would happen, therefore, she did not react much and nodded.

She was innocent after all.

"Alright, Miss Edrea, I thank you for your support, I will request you to not leave the Royal Palace for the next few days." The man muttered.

He then pointed at a bulky man and then turned towards Edrea.

"He will be staying with you for the next few days, I hope you two get along with each other."

"I understand," Edrea nodded as she glanced at the man who is going to \'stay\' with her.

"I hope you are proven innocent, Miss Edrea."
