After finishing that delicious meal, I finally decided to do what I should've done from the start-look for Alina. If I was going to escape, I needed answers first. I needed to know exactly what was going on between her and Dante.
Melissa, the new maid, was more than happy to lead me down the hallway. I thanked her, waved her off, and found myself standing in front of Alina's door. Oddly enough, it wasn't locked.
Suspicious.
I pushed it open, slipping inside quietly. The room looked... normal. Too normal. Just like any other maid's quarters-plain, tidy, ordinary. No silk sheets, no gilded vanity, none of the luxuries Dante had once thrown at her.
I frowned. Didn't Dante give her the finest room at the beginning? Even when I first got isekai'd, he was already laying the foundation of his obsession with her.
But here... there was nothing.
I decided to ask Melisa and she told me Alina was moved to this room by Dante's order.
