Rowan was being held in a separate room as the interrogation began, guards stationed firmly outside the door to ensure there was no chance of escape.
Earlier that morning, the maids had entered Rosalind's chamber to carry out their usual duties and Rowan had not attempted to stop them.
Jae was the first to notice something was wrong when she approached the bed and found it cold and untouched. "Lady Rosalind isn't in her room," she said, confusion crossing her face. "Where could she be?"

Jae hummed softly in response and after waiting a while longer, they eventually began leaving the chamber again.
"We'll return later to serve Lady Rosalind," she informed Rowan before stepping outside.
