After Oriana came out of the dining room, she found the hallway empty. There was not a single person outside.
'How strange. Where are the other servants? Does that mean I need to bring the dirty dishes on my own?'
She quickly shrugged off her confusion and returned to the dining room, cleaning up the table and stacking one used plate over another. She then carried the stacked plates and trays back towards the kitchen.
On her way, she came across one of the kitchen servants.
"Oh my, newbie! Why did you carry them all by yourself?" the kitchen servant gasped in surprise before taking half of the stacked plates.
"To save time," Oriana answered with a chuckle. "Do you happen to know where the Lord is?"
"Not sure but the Lord should be busy with some important work. Maybe you should ask the Head Maid."
