Chapter 106 - Iana’s Release (1 (2/2)

Time has passed again. It was said that the time and season are what no one can take control of. They come and go as they please, changing everything as they pass by, yet leaving a lot of memories.

At last, the long wait was over and the day I have been waiting for has come. It was finally the day of my release.

“That’s amazing.” Jair, who got back in touch with me after a few days, couldn’t hide his surprise.

“You haven’t delivered such big news to me.” Jair added.

“Ay, I’m not obliged to tell you, am I?” I checked the room, ensuring no one was inside and answered at ease.

The guard was not yet here, and I already knew from experience that the cell was soundproofed. At least I’m aware that nobody will hear our conversation. It would be suspicious enough if a guard would hear me whispering.

Furthermore, I had already informed Jair that Ricdorian had already returned to his original state. I could say he’s all better now, and it gives me peace of mind that he’s not sick anymore. However, he’s also now back to making fun of me. Yeah, he does seem to like doing that very much.

“The release is important news.”  Jair stated. I could hear a sudden change of tone in his voice.

Why didn’t I tell him about my release from prison? Well, like I said I was not obliged to do so. So, I did not bother to tell him at all.

“You’re not loyal, Miss.” Jair remarked.

“Strange, why do you sound sulky?” I asked him teasingly.

There has never been a loyalty agreement that Jair and I have talked about. Yes, we have agreed on some things, and planted out a very discrete scheme between just the two of us but loyalty has never been spoken of. But how did he know about me getting out of here?

I let out a laugh as I thought about this. On what grounds could he tell that I’m not being loyal? He sounded like he’s accusing me of something I’m not. I couldn’t help but think he’s being ridiculous.

“Who made a poor prisoner go out in the middle of the night?” I teasingly questioned him.

“I’m astonished you have such shamelessness in you.”  Jair’s voice is serious and hard this time.

“You can’t change your attitude.” I smiled crookedly and shook my bracelet lightly.

“How did you know I was getting out of prison? I’m just curious, but I won’t ask further because my mouth hurts right now.” I added.

“That’s sad. But I’m confident I can explain it.” Jair declared.

What kind of hefty person are you? Jair would have recruited someone from the guard. Or the guard was of Hel’s from the very beginning.

“What’s interesting is that I never found out anything about your family.” Jair said.

Well, I wasn’t even hiding my ancestry anymore. I thought, as I looked at the bracelet with a ridiculous face. Hmm. Come to think of it, the bracelet reminds me of something.

“I’m curious, but did you really not cast any other magic on the bracelet?” I asked him.

“Yeah, I’m sure of that. Why, wasn’t it the same as before?” Jair asked. “Did something happen that changed it? Is the bracelet broken?” It’s funny how rattled he sounded; he must have not been aware that he asked too many questions already.

“Well, it’s not like that.” I answered.

I was going to ask about the bracelet that caused the hole in the cell, but Jair said he didn’t cast anything else on it. He didn’t seem to be lying, as well.
