The next two days passed without much happening, the servants went about their business just like any other day.

Lady Jaelah woke up from a pleasant dream to see her bedroom has been totally emptied.

"Ah! What is going on here!?" As she called out for her maids, Lady Jaelah left her bed to look into her jewelry boxes, only to find them empty.

Scanning the room, Jaelah noticed all her vases, figurines and expensive clothes were gone.

"Chalia!...Chaliaaaa!" The sounds of Lady Jaelah's shouts had all her servants frighten.

A group of maids led by Jaelah's personal maid, Chalia, enters the bare room.

"My lady, what happened?...*Gasp* Why is the room like this! Why is everything?" Chalia and the other maid looked around the room in surprise. Everything was just here last night, how could everything be gone...

"That's what I like to ask you! Where is all my stuff!?" Jaelah threw the empty jewelry boxes at Chalia and the maids who stood behind her.

"My lady...I...I don't know..." The maids knelt down on the ground, afraid the blame for this thief will fall on their heads.

"Search! Search everywhere, do not leave one place untouched!"

Just as Lady Jaelah's words left her mouth, banging could be heard coming from the front gate of her residence.

"One of you go answer the door!" Jaelah has never felt so aggravated in her life. All her things were gone, from right under her nose!

"Lady Jaelah..."

"What is it!"

"The elders have come to see you..." The maid bowed her head, as five elders walked into Lady Jaelah's room.

"Lady Jaelah..."

"It's good that you are here. My home has been rodded! You must find my things and seek justice for me!..." Whining about the loss of her things, Jaelah didn't notice that the elders remained unmoved.

"Lady Jaelah...." An elder spoke after Jaelah threw herself down on her bed in tears.

"....We are here to search your residence."

Jaelah stopped crying to sit up and look at the elders. Behind then stood about twenty household guards that she overlooked during her outburst.

An elder gave an order, the guards dispersed and enter Lady Jaelah's dwellings.

"Search my...? Why would you search my residence!?"

"Lady Jaelah it's nothing personal against you...We have already searched the other wives residences as well as the other clan members homes. Yours is the last one."

"But...but why would you search my place, I just told you right now that my stuff was stolen!"

"Your place wasn't the only place that was robbed...Lady Jaelah. Many people have reported a theft in their home already."

"What?...but what does this have to do with searching my home?... You don't think I had something to do with this! Why would I steal from my own home!"


"This is precaution so we can rule it out as an inside job, Lady Jaelah. We had searched everyone's residences, not just yours."

"...fine." Seeing that she had no more room to argue, Jaelah let them continue their inspection of her home.

"Sirs!" A guard came running to the elders' sides.

"What is it?"

"We found something..."

"Impossible!" Jaelah jumps off of her bed.

The guards led the elders and Lady Jaelah to her storage shed. Inside they found a couple of boxes full of jewels, money, and clothes.

"Lady Jaelah, can you explain this?"

"No...this...I don't know why this is here..."

"Guards! Carry all these boxes outside and arrest every servant here!"

The guards began to shuffle people everyone into a room before taking all the boxes in storage outside.

Examining the items inside, the elders confirmed that most of the pieces are the things that were missings from the other clan members homes.

"Lady Jaelah, this does not look good for you..." One of the elders, who is close to Jaelah, revealed the actual reason why they were at her home early this morning.

"Why?... You don't believe I've done this, do you?" She pointed at the boxes the guards were dragging outside.

"Lady Jaelah, we found evidence of you in other clan members homes..."

"What!... That's not possible. How could I have rob so many people's residences' by myself?"

"That is what has us perplex as well..." He sighed as he held his head.

Lord Mano needs to return soon before the wives turn the Amara clan into a battlefield!

"This must be that b***h! She has to have done this... Have you checked that conniving witch Delju's place yet? I'm sure she's the one who did it!"

"Lady Delju's home is just as cleaned out like everyone else's."

"So is mine! You guys saw my room when you first came in..." The elders couldn't deny that Jaelah's room was bare.

"...Besides, why would I resort to burglary? My father's clan is wealthy if I needed money I could always go to them...You need to look at the people who are having money problems..." Of course, the elder knew who Jaelah was hinting towards.

And of course, they didn't want to end up on the wrong side of the Lady Jaelah's maternal family.

"Lady Jaelah, please believe me. We are going to do a thorough investigation into this..." Bowing his head to Jaelah, he then had the guards escort her to her room.

Lady Jaelah and her servants were all placed under house arrest.
