Chapter 46 - My Brother Came To Visit Me (1) (1/2)
Translator: SKAIS Editor: SKAIS
The inspection officer?
The jail warden who whispered to me tilted his head.
Did my brother send me an item again this time? I’m kind of delighted.
Every time an item came, I would always be called by the inspection officer or by Lenag, so this kind of setup was no longer unusual for me. I thought I wouldn’t be able to cope up, but surprisingly I was able to get used to it.
“Hurry up.”
The inspector general office was located on the floor above my cell, so it will take some steps before getting there.
While walking lightly on the stairs, we happen to witness a commotion taking place. At a glance from the railing, I saw a crowd of prisoners.
“Hey, Jason. Why are there so many people over there?”
“Oh… it’s probably because we have a guest today. I’ve heard he’s an important guest, but I don’t know who it is.”
Kambrakam was a strict prison, but visitation was not forbidden. And most of them say that you had to pay a lot of money to take a visit here.
<All that money goes to the owner of this prison.>
When I heard Baron’s words, I came to realize that Lenag was a very resourceful man. How could he make so much money that way?
Of course, some said that this prison was a national property, but Lenag’s share must be of a large sum. Anyway, I don’t think he’s just an ordinary visitor because he was already labeled as a distinguished guest. I wonder what’s his business here.
Looking once again with a light curiosity, I found a broad back that was unusually noticeable in the middle of the crowd. Not because the man was huge and fat, but because I thought that view of him was so elegant. The mere sight of his broad shoulder could make me tell that he’s a stern person.
“Wow. Was that the one Sally mentioned earlier?” I muttered unconsciously.
I can slightly see the nose, but that’s enough to say that he’s so beautiful. He has this silhouette that will make you want to see what was in front. Wow. Even his silhouette looks refined.
He was standing in the shadows with a beret on his head, and therefore, I couldn’t see the color of his hair or its detailed outline.
I just stared at the slim silhouette until it remained an after image. And only after the man disappeared, I headed to the inspection office with Jason, who thankfully waited for me.
Unexpectedly, it was Lenag who was waiting for me at the office.
Oh. I thought it was the inspection officer whom I’ll be seeing today.
“Miss Iana.”
Lenag, who welcomed me naturally, closed the door.
“Well, I heard you were out of town…”
While saying so, I suddenly remembered the conversation I heard from the guards on my way to Ricdorian at dawn a few days ago.
They said that despite the busy work in the capital these days, Lenag still keeps on coming back to the cell and not on his own house to rest.
…Was this cell that good? Well, I suppose it’s an excellent place to stay. And comfortable enough. For me, at least.
Lenag looked at me and gave me a silent salute.
“Yes. That’s right. I came back for a while. Something urgent came up, and I needed to get back here. More than that, I’m sorry.”
