We arrived at the castle after midnight, and the gatekeeper immediately opened the gates. As the car pulled in, several maids stepped out of the main entrance, forming a line as they waited for us to leave.
So much for secrecy when we wanted to meet Bishop discreetly. Why do all the maids know we’re coming? It seems ridiculous.
“My king, my queen,” the maids greeted us as Elijah and I walked past them.
The maids followed us from behind, heading for the left wing of the castle where Bishop quarters were located. That’s where Elena was. We made two turns, passed three small gardens, and finally arrived at the Bishop’s residence.
In front of us was a small gate guarded by two wolves. After the small gate, I saw three doors lined up on the left and right sides of the corridor.
