Chapter 55 - Don’t you feel uncomfortable changing all of a sudden? (2)

The moment I heard it, I stepped back. It was almost an instinctive action. And fortunately, because of a bit of unusual luck, I was able to escape quickly, perhaps due to his carelessness.

I turned around, opened the cage, and got out. The chain was clanging so hard that I’m afraid it could be heard from the outside.

I knew it was because Ricdorian wanted me to get back, but I decided to leave him behind that iron gate without looking back.

I didn’t forget to lock the iron door although I was in a hurry, and my mind was still thinking about what happened. Above all, I should no longer make mistakes that would harm him in the end. I learned my lesson.

However, my mind was still messed up like all of my thoughts had been merged by a blender.

Regardless of this, I have to go back to my cell.

That’s right, I should go back and lie down and sleep tight. Then, forget about what happened tonight as fast as I can.

However, I decided to lean my back against the wall and took a breath first instead of going up the stairs. Then I thought that my decision to visit Ridorian wasn’t a bad idea after all.

But I kept remembering it.. The thing that just happened.

The wind blew, and the long brown hair swung in the air before my eyes. My cloak was swaying as well because of the wind, but he would not see me because I had used magic.

… I’m sure he won’t.

But a pair of golden eyes were looking precisely at me. No. It didn’t take a single second for that sharp but soft-looking eye to turn toward me.

Long limbs and hard shoulders. The slim silhouette was like a Mowgli jaguar dyed by this dawn light.

My eyes widened in shock.

It was Lenag.

He looked at me and slowly opened his lips. With a smile, he lifted his lips, acting like he was a good person.

“The walk, was it fun, Lady?”

I was stiff, and the numerous thoughts that came to mind were erased and were replaced by a new one. I thought of it over and over again.

Why, how? How?

It was ridiculous.

I held my breath and didn’t budge. Slowly, I put my eyes down.

No, maybe he’s just trying to talk. Not Yet.

His eyes were now fixated on my clothing’s sleeve, on my wrist to be exact, where the bracelet was placed but was covered by the cloak I am wearing.

The sorcerer of the Hel estate. The face of Jair, the closest aide to the future Ricdorian, passed by in my mind.

Apparently, he told me he put transparent magic on this bracelet. And that’s what I used to sneak into the cell of Ricdorian.

However, I’ve been grazed by a guard that was resting on the stairs the first time I used the magic, but they didn’t recognize me.

Would that mean that the magic of the bracelet was broken now? If that’s the case, I would have been recognized by the senior knight who was patrolling on the basement stairs.

Furthermore, as evidence, this magic could erase even the shadows. And as of now, I had no shadow.

…so, there’s no way Jair’s magic was flawed. It couldn’t possibly fail. I bet on that! And never would there be a chance that someone would catch me as long as I’m under Jair’s magic.

Am I right? Or not.
