Chapter 19 (1/2)

What sort of senses are these? Just like…. I can feel like touching them, seeing them. In the previous life I could only feel some energy/presence……

Even her current body had no training in this aspect. She was just an ordinary woman with a job as a female knight.

.……Since this is a world of magic, Is this much sensitivity common for all…?

As she thought, she felt the life she entered into some game world and a laugh came out of her. Anyway it was a good thing that the senses are many times sensitive. Kasia meditated some more as she tested her more sensitive senses.

Like that she was able to discern different voices inside the inn. Outside the sky darkened. Like the sky is covered in clouds, even the bright moonlight seemed to be covered.

Now let’s get started.

Kasia stood up, unlocked the door and packed up her baggage. Also she slightly glanced out of the window and then opened the window sills. The night smells different than daytime. A scent that can calm one’s senses. If she takes this road, either succeed the mission or die. It was always like this.

She took another glance at the cloudy dark sky and jumped out of the window.

To pass through the entrance of Karina Palace surrounded by sturdy walls without any disturbance was a difficult task. Fortunately the royal family and the nobles within the castle were engaged with their own things. When it turns night these noblities will bring street whores into the palace to fulfill their perverted desires.

‘Though it’s grateful to me.’

Kasia put on the robe she prepared and went towards the location informed by the horseman.

At the Asel forest entrance, the horseman she met at the stable stood beside a carriage and was waiting for her. Other than asking for money he didn’t ask any other questions. After entering the carriage she took off her vest and waistcoat then put on the robe once again.

The queue to pass the palace gate was considerably long. Which meant that much whores were called into the palace.

“Confirm the identity! Open the carriage!”

As she heard the voice of the guarding soldier when it became their turn, Kasia adjusted her posture.

Bang! The carriage doors were opened and a brusque looking soldier looked at Kasia piercingly.

“Take off the robe and show your face!”

Kasia slowly raised her head and looked at the guard with sluggish eyes.

With a bright smile Kasia slowly lowered her robe.

Even after the robe slid down from her collarbone, there were no clothes that covered her shoulders and at this sight, the guard was embarrassed.

When her rob slid down a little more which almost exposed her breast, the guard swallowed his saliva with a visible disappointment shouted “Okay, next” and roughly closed the carriage door.

The moment the carriage started to move, Kasia secured her vest and waist coat on her body and slightly opened the window curtain and observed the outside.

Karina Palace was the summer palace of the Emperor, so the paths were not much complicated. But there were a lot of soldiers guarded with the likes of a small palace.

‘Seems like he very much values his life’.

Outside children, youngsters and many more died everyday, and the person called Emperor is hiding in the peaceful warm night and lived out his days leisurely. Even an ignorant person like Kasia felt that the Emperor is not in sane mind.

The East tower that Tula said was conspicuous even from afar. Though she strongly stressed that such a greyish looking and separately stood tower was not a place fitting for a queen, but for her who needed to infiltrate there, it was to her advantage.

But there were many guards that patrolled the path from the gate to the tower, and it was not difficult to find that, even with a little bit of noise, more guards would surround her.

The other carriages with curtained windows were moving towards the back entrance used to bring in the goods and other things to the palace rather than the front gate by which those noblities entered.

When the carriage moved towards the barely lit back entrance, she opened the carriage doors and dove into trees in the garden.

The horseman certainly must have felt someone open the carriage door and should have jumped out, but he without a change in movement, calmly whipped the horse to move towards the palace entrance.

Fortunately the Back entrance where Kasia came down was east of the palace. Though the tower where Queen Elena was locked was just ahead, but still it was within a stone’s throw. As one looked at it from close, the tower looked all the more gloomy.

The tower walls were covered with timeworn ivy and looked like adorned in dark brown colour. And there was not even a window with lights on. It was only at the entrance where the guards patrolled showed some human activity in the whole of the tower.

‘Inside, a total of …. 6 people’.

Two soldiers steadily guarded the entrance. Two at a time alternately patrolled the surroundings.

Kasia waited for the moment when these 2 groups of soldiers passed away from the entrance. Slowly she felt her nerves all over her body become more alert. Kasia liked the feeling of the energy within her body that was at the verge of exploding. Like a hungry predator ready run towards his prey.

When the two sets of soldiers passed by each other and disappeared into the surrounding, Kasia started to make her move.
