Even with the help of the other Prisoners, it took a few hours before all the blood inside Van's new house was cleaned Initially, the other Prisoners that Boss tasked to clean his new house were surprised that Van was helping them They told him they could handle it, but Van insisted that he will help since it was his house

After that, the other Prisoners see thee-type to shower the entire house ater

It still took a few hours, but still, in just a span of a single day, Van has already obtained his own house in the Pit

And so, with a sigh, he let his whole body relax as he sat down and fell on the neashed bed… which was unexpectedly soft

"You really did it"

He was about to close his eyes, but a voice suddenly resounded in the house, followed by a knock on the door

"Miss Nisha," Van could only sit back up as he looked at the woman that just suddenly entered his new house

Nisha, as if not seeing the frown on Van's face, casually walked deeper into the house, taking a seat at the table

"You really got the house you wanted," Nisha let out a long sigh as her eyes traveled across the house It was only earlier that Van asked her that if he killed soain their house

And here he was, seated on a bed in the same house that he pointed to earlier The house nearest to the Portal

"I was just lucky," Van said as he stood up

"Pft How convenient is that? You even deceived the Locals just to get what you wanted," Nisha once again sighed, "I guess being a professional liar has its merits"

"This place is no different fro in order to survive"

"Ato survive would have stayed with the Locals" Nisha squinted her eyes as she looked straight at Van's eyes

""

"Tell me, why did you truly come back? You chose a house near a Portal as well…

are you perhaps planning to escape?"

"Not at all I just wanted to see you again"

"Ugh," Nisha could only pinch the bridge of her nose, "I can no longer tell if you're lying or telling the truth" She then stood up for her seat and sloalked towards the door

"But whatever it is… expect me to be on your side, Van"

It was clinging to hope

"Van has been there for an entire day already!"

"Ugh… This again? All of you really need to be in the Academy!"

Harvey, Beatrice, and her daughter have been staying in the guest hall ever since they arrived last night They even spent the night there and all she and the servants could do was give them mattresses and blankets to sleep on

They have been co up with all sorts of ridiculous plans on how to rescue Van, but none concrete enough to actually be viable

She and her e debt to Van for what he did to Edward So she wasn't really trying to stop the three thatclearly Or at least Harvey isn't

"It should be alright, lasses, "With what happened yesterday, the Academy would surely have postponed the classes"

And as under Beatrice's eyes were the most noticeable She was not able to sleep even a wink, how could she?

She betrayed Van Even if she did it for her family, even if she was threatened… she knew that what she did was inexcusable She will tell Harvey and Victoria of her guilt, but not now

What ize to them then, and what happens after that… she was sure she deserves it

"Where… is grandh as her sedated voice whispered in the hall

Paris, however, could only close her eyes She wanted to ask that herself Where could her ht that they would finally get the chance to become a normal fa way to go
