�I�m not too sure either�� Renee acted dumb and scratched her hard as she pretended to think. �I�m supposed to guard a woman. I think she disrespected the Baldwin family and was locked in the confession room. I can�t find the room though, can any of you take me there?�

�Oh, no wonder!� The servants nodded in understanding.

Renee�s lies were so perfect that none of them suspected her at all.

�Come with me. I�ll take you there.� The leader of the servants lifted her chin and said to Renee.

Renee trailed behind her, surprised that the whole thing had gone so well.

However, not long after, the leader came to a halt and scowled as she observed Renee. �I just realized something� Your uniform doesn�t match ours!�

Renee felt her pulse quicken but she kept calm and said, �Really? I don�t see the difference. It�s the same style but different material.�

�Same style but different material�� The servant touched Renee�s clothes and scoffed, �This is actual silk. There�s no way such a luxurious material would be used to make a servant�s uniform!�

�What incredible eyesight! It�s no surprise that even a servant of the Baldwin family is so clever,� Renee thought, thoroughly impressed.

However, she didn�t panic. She remained composed and said confidently,� Maybe it�s an upgrade. The Baldwin family is a powerful family with a high social status, so it�s not surprising that they want their servants to have good clothes. Are you trying to question the Baldwin family�s decision?�

�No. That�s not what I mean!� The servant immediately explained, "The Baldwin family is the most powerful family in the world and I am loyal to them. I�m simply cautious when it comes to certain things.�

�Should we see Madam Sophia to confirm whether she could afford it or not?�

�No, there�s no need for that!� The servant didn�t dare to bother Sophia for such a small matter. She waved her hand and urged, �Stop wasting time. Let�s go!�

The two walked in the dark for a long time until they arrived at a courtyard on the outskirts. There was a hut somewhere behind the forest. On the door of the hut hung a board that said �Confession room�.

"This is it. Guard this place with your life. No matter what she says or does, don�t open the door. Don�t give her anything too. Just wait until the superior gives further orders,� the servant told her solemnly.

�She�s in here?� Renee glanced at the simple hut dubiously. She didn�t think that the confession room would be a small room with nothing inside. It looked like something from ancient times.

�What were you expecting?� The servant scoffed, then continued proudly,� Old Master Hunt said that the highest level of punishment isn�t physical, but mental. By putting her here, she�ll lose her freedom and connection to the world. Eventually, she�ll forget time and yearn for death.�

�It makes sense, but there�s something I don�t understand. How will she lose connection with the world and forget time?�

"The hut may appear to be run-down from the outside, but the walls are soundproof. Apart from air, she�ll only be surrounded by white walls. The most terrifying aspect is that sound cannot be transmitted inside,� the servant explained.

"Normal people would feel like an eternity had passed if they were locked in there for even half an hour. They�ll definitely lose their minds if they�re locked inside for more than three days!� JrNovels.com
