An Extra’s POV

Chapter 29

Rey just stood in front of the door, dumbfounded.

'What in the world just happened?'

For some reason, he get his heart skip a beat just now, and when he and Alicia touched hands, there was a sensation he hadn't felt before.

'This… is crazy.'

As Rey stared at his hand, he remembered what he said to him back when he was hiding in the bushes.

'She said I should be patient and study more…' Rey narrowed his gaze as his thoughts went into overdrive.

'Does that mean she knows of my intention?'

It was all so confusing to him.

'It seems like even if she does, she doesn't mind. I mean, now that I think about it… why was she so close to the walls?'

Rey's imagination began to get the best of him, and he imagined a situation where Alicia was also trying to escape the castle walls.

If that was the case, they were comrades in this together.

Then, there was one more thing.

'She noticed my absence in the library…' Rey felt a small smile curling on his face.

He didn't know why, but the moment she mentioned his absence, his heart had skipped a beat—maybe two.

'I guess it sort of feels good not being invisible all the time.'

As Rey's smile widened even further, he reached out for the doorknob.

Then…

"Hey, Rey."

A deep, imposing voice echoed right behind him. It sounded so familiar, yet something about it felt threatening.

"Wha—?"

~THUD!~

Before Rey could respond, he was pushed against the wall by the overwhelming force of the one behind him.
