Chapter 39 - You’re more than happy to see me tonight, aren’t you? (2) (2/2)

Creeeekkkk.

Soon, the door opened with a rusty sound of iron. And that noise sounded louder at dawn. Looking at the rusty iron bars, I thought it was a good idea putting Hans into a deep sleep.

Even so, I also thought suspicious of myself for doing this at dawn.

The familiar smell of the moss after I opened the bar was reeking. I slipped in and put down the lamp. I couldn’t bring one from my room, so I brought the one next to Hans.

Soon, I met Ricdorian’s sparkling rounded eyes.

“Who is it?”

I paused. Oh, my. I haven’t taken off the magic yet, so he won’t be able to see me… But to my surprise, Ricdorian looked precisely to where I was. Not just where I was, but to my face to be exact.

I cut a spare bed cloth, turning it over like a cloak. But I still didn’t know why he knew my exact location.

Does Ricdorian has magic, or his instincts told him where I was? Moreover, it was amazing to see him not stammering. When he looked at me, he would always blush while staring at my face.

I wanted to watch him for a while, but unfortunately, I don’t have time. Blinking my eyes, I took off the magic and threw the cloak I was wearing, and his blue eyes shook slightly in the dark.

“…you?”

The blue eyes seem like questioning me ‘why’. But he couldn’t say and ask anything, because I blocked him from speaking.

“Shh. very good.” I placed my index finger on his lips.

“Shhh.” I whispered one more time and slowly took my fingers off.

The chain was quite loud, so someone might hear it. Of course, no one will come all the way here early in the morning, but we still need to be careful not to get caught.

“You’re more than happy to see me tonight, aren’t you?” I said as I really wanted to say this right now.

Oh, there’s no window. I don’t think Ricdorian would know if it’s day or night.

It was the moment when I was about to correct my mistake when he suddenly spoke.

“…Yes, it’s night, I was surprised you came.”

Ricdorian pinpointed the time and made me forget what I was about to say. So I looked at him and soon remembered what I was about to ask.

“Do you know it’s night-time?”

“What? Yes. I can tell it through my senses, even if I don’t see the sky. Also, it’s not hard to infer between meals.”

I looked at him with bewildered eyes. But as I stared at him, I saw his cheeks were slightly stained. Soon he shyly looked down to the ground, as if he noticed my gaze at him.

He was quite intelligent when he was rational, and his words were full of courtesy. But he was still stuttering a little. On the other hand, his beast side would utter words that I can’t understand.

What an impressive being.

I narrowed my eyes even more and questioned him.

“How long have you been in this cell? It’s not like you were here since birth.”
