Chapter 38 – You’re more than happy to see tonight, aren’t you? (1)
Translator: SKAIS Editor: SKAIS
I always sleep at night, and it was so unusual for not to do so tonight. Of course, it’s natural for every human being to be in a deep slumber at this hour. Besides, I haven’t encountered soone who doesn’t sleep in the evening.
Thoughts aside, dozing off right now or even just a few seconds of unconsciously closing my eyes would lead to a deep sleep, which would make miss the right ti to visit Ricdorian without noticing it. So I think it is better to stay awake from the very beginning until in the middle of the night and keep my guard up.
I also heard information about the vigilance of guards at dawn when I pretended to offer a drink to one of the guards I’m close to.
According to Baron, aristocrats usually stay up all night or play at night in social circles. It’s rare for them to sleep at the right ti and get up early in the morning—the privilege of being a nobility. Of course, there is a difference between n and won, but he said that the difference was very little.
However, the more the prisoners get used to the regular life inside this prison, the more they adapt to life here, and that is why so of them, especially in our area, prefer resting at night. As a result, this area is very peaceful at dawn to the point where nothing happens.
Apparently, there are a lot of guards in this area... Uhm, five or four on average. I swallowed a lump...I didn’t know I’d be playing the role of an undercover agent inside this cell. As if I’m shooting so scenes from a movie.
I silently laughed.
In any case, I’ve already made up my mind, I am determined this ti to do everything, even the impossible. Yeah, I can do this. Well, thinking about it, all I did inside this prison is live an ordinary and a bit dull life. Also, whenever I saw Ricdorian barking, I would always wonder when he would act like a normal human being.
“I was told to use the bracelet first.”
As I prepared so candies and other stuff with , I grabbed the bracelet Jair gave . The bracelet had three jewels, I firmly rubbed the first one, which was gently placed on the cuff.
“Yaram [야람]”
When Jair muttered the starting incantation, a subtle emission of golden lights wrapped around his body.
“Wow, amazing.”
I looked at my hands and the golden light that instantly appeared suddenly vanished. Is this how it works?
“Will they see ?”
I have no choice but to go out and check. I crept to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and muttered another starter incantation. A total of three magic silver jewels hung on this bracelet. The purpose of the second one is to open and silence the sound of a rummaged door.
I stuck my head out through the open door.
Is there anyone?
No, there isn’t. There was no one in the quiet hallway.
Of course, for five hours, I counted the number of footsteps I heard. And at this mont, there was no guard on watch in this hallway. The guard is being replaced every 40 minutes, and it would take 5 minutes for the new guard to appear in this area. I have to maximize that ti well.
One thing about this area was that it is so peaceful. Which is a good thing for , right?
I walked silently like a stray cat, even though I knew this was an empty hallway, but knowing that fact didn’t make less nervous.
At the end of the hallway, there is a staircase that goes down, which was usually used in going to the dining hall or the garden. However, as soon as I turned around the corner, I paused. There were guards right in front of the stairs!
I was startled!
I almost scread...but good thing I managed to hold myself from doing so.
“...huh? Did you hear sothing?”
“No? Maybe that’s just your breathing? You should stop blowing your nose. The noise is killing .”
“Oh, my gosh”, I whispered in the air. Were they just taking a break and decided to rest on the stairs, and not because the other was about to be replaced?
The distance between the guards and was less than three steps. I swerved around and stuck myself to the wall with my hands covering my mouth.
They certainly didn’t see even though I was in front of them. The magic that Jair put on the first jewel, the invisibility spell, was very useful. It made my whole body transparent. I wanna praise Jair’s ability right now.
I went down the stairs carefully with my eyes flickering. Fortunately, the conversation between the guards seed to hide my small footsteps.
After a long and anxious walk, I took a short and deep breath.
“Haah,”...Now I am confident that the magic of Jair was working properly.
After safely overcoming the crisis, I headed to the basent stairs. It was a stairway that leads all the way to the west side of the prison. I turned round after reaching the corner, however, when I reached the wall, I heard footsteps.
“Hey, why is the Prison head back this ti, and at dawn? He just ca back all of a sudden.”
“You were the one who almost lived in prison. Don’t you know anything about him or his goals? You know what? Even though the work on the capital is of peak season, he keeps on coming back here. Don’t you ever wonder why he’s trying to stick to the cell more lately?”
“I think so, too. Maybe he has hidden jewels in his room, that’s why he can’t leave it for a long ti, but why would he leave it in his room of all places?”... Did he?
I was tightly stuck to the wall, and after a group of people had passed, I held out my breath. This ti, I heard the footsteps rushing right before the corner. Oh my gosh, I think I’m in trouble.
