Chapter 121: The Plunge (2/2)
”Let's go. I don't have all day.” Kace said while standing by the window he had just opened.
Lorget turned and stared at him with wide eyes. 'Are you trying to kill me!' He panicked as he imagined the fall from this height. 'How can you think that we'll survive such a thing, huh?' This is what he wanted to say, but Kace's demeanour gave him no room to argue. With timid steps, he approached Kace. Images of him being thrown out were flashing in his mind.
He climbed up into the open window frame and looked down. Generally, he was ok with heights. That was assuming that he had something solid underneath his feet. No matter how he looked at it, he could not imagine making it down safely. There was not exactly any place to get a decent grip to climb down unseen. If it had been a viable option, he would have used this to find out which room had belonged to Kace. Instead of scurrying around in the dark, avoiding the gargoyles.
”Hold on tight,” Kace said as he wrapped an arm around the goblins waist. Lifting him into a princess carry.
”This is wrong!” Lorget squealed, looking far below them. Aware that his life was completely within Kace's hands now.
”Coming from the one in a dress.” Kace snorted, causing Lorget's face to flush in anger and embarrassment.
”How else was I meant to sneak in here?” Lorget complained, only to receive a scowl in return. 'Ah, fuck me. I hope you know what you're doing. I don't want to be caught dead in a dress!'
Seeing the goblin calming his nerves Kace scanned the scene below. 'This should be ok.' He thought as he watched the guards patrolling the courtyard below. 'Let's hope they don't look up here. Otherwise, I'll have a hard time explaining why I had to sneak out when I return.'
He waited until he was sure of the paths the guards would take before he took action. Lorget had once again become unsure of what was going to happen since he had been made to wait. Then, a squeal like a little girl escaped from his mouth as Kace jumped outward from the building!
'What the fuck! I thought he had a way to climb down! This is suicidal! Was there even a need to take me with you!' Lorget felt hot tears running down his face as they rushed to meet the ground.
'At least you look the part.' Kace commented in his mind as heard Lorget squeal. His eyes were fixed on a wall off to their left. Stretching out his free hand, he activated Spider Thread.
At the same time, Sophia dropped a glass of blood onto the floor of her room in shock. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief as she watched Kace swing past her window while carrying a girl in his arms. 'WHO the fuck is she!'
