I know it's wrong to eavesdrop on Duke Kaeen -after all, he is my guardian.
But what else could I do? I've skipped breakfast to follow a maid to his office at his written request, and he is not even in there. The maid shoots me a dark look then leaves me at the door.
Finding no response to my knocking minutes ago, I entered the office myself to check if the duke was there. He was not. I decided to go and look around his library while I waited for him because Her Grace the Duchess has forbidden it, and that was how I came across it.
The eavesdropping is happening now, but skipping breakfast, going to the office, and the glaring maid happened before the story began. So what tense should I use for the latter?
I'm aware that if this was written in the past tense, it would be like:
I know it was wrong to eavesdrop on Duke Kaeen- after all he was my guardian.
... Finding no response to my knocking a few minutes ago, I had entered the office myself to check if the duke was there. He was not.
Right? So how does it change when writing in the present tense?
Explanation much appreciated!
Cheers,
Alpha
