Chapter 38 - You’re more than happy to see me tonight, aren’t you? (1)

Translator: SKAIS Editor: SKAIS

I always sleep at night, and it was so unusual for me 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 someone 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 me to a deep sleep, which would make me miss the right time 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 went down the stairs carefully with my eyes flickering. Fortunately, the conversation between the guards seemed 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 basement 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 time, and at dawn? He just came 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 time, 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 time, I heard the footsteps rushing right before the corner. Oh my gosh, I think I’m in trouble.
