Chapter 208

Chapter 208
Larissa closed the door and locked it from the inside.
The two people outside her door left after a minute, but they probably didn’t go downstairs because Larissa heard the sounds of their doors closing, one after another.
Larissa kept her eyes open until dawn.
She did not sleep a wink, but no one came to knock on her door after that.
Breakfast was still delivered to her room by the household stall.
As Larissa was about to close the door, Reuben emerged from the room across from hers.
Glancing at the tray in her hand, he mouthed silently. “Do not eat that.”
After what happened last night, Larissa trusted Reuben more than anyone else in this house.

Throwing the pancakes and hash browns into the trash, she sat back and waited to see what would happen next.
As expected, someone knocked on her door again after half an hour.
“Larissa, are you awake?”
This time it wasn’t Dorian, but Lana.
Larissa remained silent.
Lana twisted the doorknob but the door didn’t budge.
She inserted the key to Larissa’s room that she had prepared earlier into the lock and unlocked the door.
However, when Lana entered the room, the first thing she saw was Larissa standing right behind the door.
She crossed her arms and stared at Lana calmly.
Lana was startled at Larissa’s appearance and dropped the key in her hand.
it fell to the ground with a loud clang.
“Lari Larissa, you’re awake. Why didn’t you respond?” Lana laughed dryly.
“You woke me up when I was about to fall asleep. I got up to open the door for you, but you managed to come in by yourself.” Larissa bent down, retrieved the key from the floor, and casually put it in her pocket. “This is the key to my room, right? Since I’ve lost my old one. I’ll take this instead.”
Lana opened her mouth to protest, but she finally relented. “Alright,” she said reluctantly.
