Veronica kept her head down as she approached us, just few steps behind the man I told to get her for me.
They both stopped some paces away.
"Veronica, my lord."
"And where did you find her?" I had to ask.
"In her quarters, my lord," he replied.
Veronica didn't have a quarters of her own. I hadn't given her that privilege yet. That room was the one used by a couple of women. But since they weren't around anymore, it seemed that Veronica had turned to place to her own private quarters.
Though, that was only a conjecture. Wasn't as if I had already gone there to confirm for myself how it looked.
"Is that true, Veronica?" I asked her. "You were in the women's quarters?"
She nodded her head in the affirmative. She was still afraid to raise her face to me. Seemed like my words had really gotten to her. Stung her right at her core.
