Chapter 16 - Lavish Prison Life (3) (1/2)

Translator: SKAIS Editor: SKAIS

It was possible for the prisoners to acquire goods from outside of Kambrakam. However, a rigorous inspection had to be carried out before it could be brought in. And the goods can typically be delivered by or obtained from the guards after the inspection.

But some packages were handed over by the prison head guard, that ordinary prison guards are not allowed to.  Perhaps due to the title that a convict holds as well as the confidentiality of the goods. That’s what I thought.

When I first encountered this kind of situation, I felt like Iana’s house must be a very fancy place to live in. She must have been born from a well-off and high-rank family.

“I have something to give to you.”

My brother sends me a gift once every other week. And the reason why Lenag called me here today is to give that gift to me. He stretched out his hand on the table and laid down a little box.

“Take it, Miss Iana.”

I got the box and peeked inside, slowly opening it.

Wow, It’s a hairpin again…

Soon, I closed it and tried to avoid making eye contact with him. Moreover, I was hesitant whether to get up or not since we don’t have anything else to talk to and my reason for being here was already achieved. I badly wanted to leave. I don’t feel comfortable being around him. And with my prejudice of him, I don’t think I will ever be.

“I’ve had everyone call you by your first name here, as what your brother wanted. I didn’t understand the reason at first, but I think I do now.”

“What? Oh, Okay…”

Aw. He must really be a great and caring brother. No wonder everyone calls me “Iana” inside the prison. I nodded blankly at him. I can’t wait to get out of here, as I’m starting to feel nervous with his gaze. All this time, he never once took his eyes off me! I can feel it even though I’m not looking at him.

“Thank you for your concern. My brother and father would be very grateful.”

“…would they?”

“Yes.”

I have no idea he’d be so concerned with the request of my brother. Anyways, I am so grateful to them even though I don’t know their names. The mere fact that they still care is all that matters to me.

Soon, I caught Lenag staring at me.  He blinked for a moment realizing that I had caught him, and then turned his head to the other side slowly, pretending to be innocent and unbothered.

“You are a good person… unlike them.”

Wait…what?

I don’t know why it all boils down to that. Moreover, I could barely hear the last words he uttered because he was like whispering in the air. I just laughed and said what I thought Iana’s family was.

“They’re good people.”

Who would think that they are bad people when they always send me food and gifts while I was in prison? Bringing me everything that I want, I could tell that he’s a good brother. Atleast, that’s enough reason for them to be good.

“Yes, at least for you which is also a wonder.”

He lowered his head slowly, trying to remember something.
