Chapter 72: 72-A Lead

Clementine:

"Really?" Haiden said, following my gaze.

"Yeah, I noticed the old woman pointed at my father, and then the daughter would shake her head and hug herself. There’s something going on," I whispered under my breath, trying to act casual but kept breaking my character.

And just like that, I watched the young girl return to the kitchen. That was when I knew I had to follow her. I had to confront her and ask her what was going on.

"Haiden, you stay here and keep an eye on everyone. Troy, you come with me. Stand next to the exit of the main hall, so that you can let me know when somebody is trying to head to the kitchen where I am," I told Troy.

But before I could walk away, I heard Yorick utter.

"What about me?"

I looked at him, then didn’t say anything and walked away. It was malicious, I just didn’t have a task in mind for him at the moment.

I briskly made my way through the corridor to the kitchen, which was at the back end of the mansion.

We were on the first floor, which was the floor for the Omegas.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, the young maid didn’t realize it was me and started speaking.

"Mom, I told you, I will not sleep with that old man. He grosses me out."

The minute she turned around and realized it wasn’t her mother but me, she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.

"It’s all right. I’m not going to tell anyone," I said to her, instantly moving my hands up to show her that it was all fine and that I did not mean any harm.

"No, I was just saying—" she began to stutter and couldn’t even finish the whole sentence.

"Hey, look, it’s all right. You can tell me what is going on," I started to speak very softly and calmly to her, but she kept shaking and fidgeting with her fingers.

"No, I will get punished if anybody finds out I was speaking about it," she said, looking terrified.

"Just let me know what is going on, and I will help you," I said in a much softer tone.

"You’re a crusader. You’re a fighter." It was almost as if she was reminding herself that she could trust me.

"Exactly. I fight the monsters, no matter where they are. So tell me." I paused as I stared at her name tag.

"Tell me, Lydia. Why is your mother asking you to sleep with my father?" The way I had already put two and two together, I guess it surprised her, because her eyes widened.

"Tell me," I insisted, and she began to gulp.

I quickly offered her some water so she could relax before she even spoke up. And while she was drinking, I stood in the doorway, checking if anybody was walking down the corridor. Although Troy was already waiting at the entrance, I knew I was fine. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
