"Joselyn?" The head maid's gaze seemed to tremble for a bit. She might be conjuring the ghastly image of Joselyn lying lifeless on the floor of her room. She tried collecting herself before uttering, "S-she meet often with people she used to hang out with the other maid, Luciana, and the cook, Tomas. Now that I think about it, she did indeed acting rather unusual lately. She had been slacking off, some of her chores had been neglected. I had caught her wandering outside the mansion, chatting with the gardener, Matias. She had no business roaming outside the mansion. I had warned her about her slacking, she had promised to pay more attention to her duties." Jack thought about the head maid's words for a bit before saying, "thank you, mam. That will be all for now." The head maid recovered her demeanor and gave Jack a peeved glance. She then headed out. After she closed the door, Jack returned his attention to the Duke. The duke said, "whatever you need to say, you can say it. I keep no secret from my wife." Jack nodded, he then explained about what he had found from the crime scene at Jimena's murder, and also about his hypothesis regarding the culprit being one of the occupants of this mansion. The duke expressed similar disagreement due to the rest of the occupants being a commoner, impossible for them to take out a castle guard instantly. Nevertheless, the duke did not dismiss Jack's conjecture outright, he agreed with his discretion to keep this information contained.
