~{EMELDA'S POV}~

3 Months Later…
"Where is Lord Lanzon?" I demanded from the nearest maid I found.
"I'm not sure, my queen," she answered while shaking slightly and it made me scrunch my brows in annoyance.
As I took several steps forward, I confronted another maid.
"Where is Lord Lanzon? And don't you dare lie to me?" I demanded only for her to cringe slightly and cower under my gaze.
"He-he…stepped out-"
"Lies!" My voice rang along the hallway in fury.
Were they playing with me?
I took two steps close to her and she quickly took a step back in fright.
"Where is he?" I repeated my question again.
"I don't know, my queen." She pleaded and that was the last thread.
I grabbed her hair and yanked her head backwards so she could look me in the eyes. This was the twentieth maid I had confronted and yet they acted ignorant when they knew I could sense lies.
Were they intentionally playing with me?
