Chapter 33: An Unknown Presence
“But you might run to soone on your way to…”
“It’ll be alright! Luna has been observing it too right? There are not many people going back and forth near Lady Lise’s palace.”
“But…”
“And yesterday, big brother Raytan showed a shortcut. He said there’s no one there. So don’t worry about it, alright? If I end up running into soone on the way today, I’ll go there with Luna tomorrow..”
Other than that, it’s also when Luna should be sleeping. It’s all because of that Luna has to get up this early and struggle with preparing breakfast for .
Sezh didn’t want to bother Luna anymore. Luna kept saying, “I think it would be better for to go with you.” But Sezh was persistent about it. So after a long discussion, Sezh was able to go out of her palace alone.
My steps towards going towards Lise’s palace feel light. I feel pretty good too. Even though it’s early in the morning, it’s warm and sunny outside and the spring breeze feels so refreshing…
Sezh humd cheerfully as she walked with a skip in her step. Soon, she arrived at the shortcut that Raytan had shown her earlier. The shortcut was at the back of Lise’s palace and Raytan said it was the most secretive and quickest way to the library in Lise’s palace.
It’s called a dog-hole or sothing. “Hmmm…”
It seed that this “dog-hole” was living up to its na.
The small door was just big enough that she had to lean in low to the ground to be able to enter the hole. She grunted while struggling to pass through the hole.
It’s my first ti using this passage so I’m a bit confused about where to go next, Was it… um… this way?
Sezh hesitated but she decided on a direction to walk and find out for herself.
It took her exactly thirty minutes after that to realize that she had taken the wrong path.
I’m dood.
My brain cells are all saying, ‘You’re dood’. I felt like I’m in the middle of a labyrinth.
The corridor was endless and no one was around. Judging from the way the road was turned around, it seems to be spinning around the sa space. I won’t starve to death because I’m lost and couldn’t make my way out, right? If I knew this would happen, I’d have just co with Luna…
But it’s too late to regret this.
Setz walked forward without hesitation. She walked and walked. She passed so many rooms while passing through endless corridors.
Wait, I’ve already gone through here. But, how co I haven’t run into anyone yet?
This is indoors and a road to the palace.
This is really strange. Why aren’t there any guards around?
I rember last ti the front door was full of soldiers.
At the end of the hallway, there was a corner room. The noise could be heard behind the closed door.
“…”
Sezh beca tense and started to think.
Should I open the door and ask where am I, or should I just keep wandering around on my own…
To be honest, I have nothing to be worried about for now, but I don’t have the strength to walk anymore.
Sezh eventually sighed and decided. She knocked gently against the closed door.
Knock knock.
The sound rang out in the empty hallway but there was no reply.
I’m sure I heard so noise.
She knocked a few more tis, but the result was the sa. Sezh swallowed her saliva and turned the doorknob carefully. The door creaked open with ease.
“……”Sezh poked her head in, craning her neck as she looked inside nervously. The room was full of books stretching high up, standing tall.
But why are there two library rooms in this palace?
The mont she tilted her head. She heard a voice behind her.
“How did you get in here…?”
The unknown voice sounded wary of her presence.Is it a library with an owner? But this is Lady Lise’s palace though?
Sezh looked back and startled.
“Huh…?”
Sezh opened her eyes wide in surprise.
