Arwen twisted the doorknob to push it open but unlike every other room, the door for this room didn’t open. She tried a few times, twisting it back and forth, but no matter how she tried, the door didn’t even budge.
She would have thought that the door had gotten jammed due to the infrequent use but given how new it looked, she heavily doubted that was the case. And if that wasn’t, there only remained one possibility.
The door was locked.
She realized and then turned to gaze over the rest others. Her brows drawing together in confusion.
But why is only this room locked? What’s so different about this?
The question rose in Arwen’s mind on its own, making her curious. And it’s always known that curiosity gets the better of the people. And she was no different. She turned to look around, trying to think of ways to open the door. She was about to give Mr. Jones a call, asking him to bring her the master key when she spotted a helper around.
"Excuse me," she called without letting her walk away.
The maid turned to look in her direction and then walked to her, bowing her head politely. "Madam," she greeted, "Do you need anything?"
Arwen smiled and nodded at once. "Yes," she said. "Can you go and bring me the Master Key of the house?"
Neither did Arwen explain much, nor did the maid dare to ask. She simply nodded to her orders and left to get the master key of the house.
After a good few minutes, the maid returned and handed the key to Arwen.
"Thank you," Arwen said as she took the key from her and turned to look back at the door.
"Madam, do you need my help?" the maid offered, but turning back to her, Arwen shook her head.
"No," she said, politely. "I can manage on my own. You can go first and finish your work. I am sure earlier I interrupted you while you were doing something."
The maid shook her head. "No, Madam. You didn’t. Following your orders is our duty." Then bowing her head, she left.
Once she was gone, Arwen turned to look back at the door. Now that she has the Master Key, she doesn’t think opening the door would be a problem. With that thought, she moved the master key to open the door and just as she did, the door made a soft sound, letting her know that it was now open.
A soft smile curled her lips, and she slowly pushed the door open to enter.
