Lily's hand instinctively twitched toward where she usually kept her own weapon, but she forced herself to keep moving. The book first, she reminded herself. Her lady can handle a little drama.
She walked straight toward the grand study, but as she reached the door, a senior maid stepped out from a side room and stopped her.
