338 Setting the pieces in motion [2]
Ko Knock-
The moment the door knocked, my head snapped in its direction.
Staring at Angelica who was also staring at the door, I put my finger on my mouth and urged her to hide.
Ko Knock-
The door knocked once more.
Taking the mask and putting it on, I hoarsely said.
"Coming."
-Gulp!
I quickly chugged onto a potion. Slowly, the mana inside of my body started recovering, albeit slowly.
Glancing around the room to make sure that Angelica wasn't within sight, I extended my hand towards the right side of the wall.
Ci Clank-
Upon touching the wall, the side of the wall lit up slightly and the door unlocked with a click.
"Who is it?"
Showing an annoyed look, I opened the door and looked at the one responsible for disturbing me.
This time, I wasn't acting.
I truly was annoyed.
"Hello."
Standing opposite to me was a Duergar wearing a typical guard uniform. One that most guards wore, although they were a little bit too big for him.
'Is he a new guard?'
I wondered to myself.
Glancing left and right, I noticed that he was someone that I had never seen before.
My brows instantly knit.
"Who are you? Are you my newly assigned guard?"
"No sir."
The Duergar replied, shaking his head.
"Than what is it?"
"I'm here to drop something off."
He briefly replied in a low tone.
My eyes squinted at his words.
"...Drop something?"
"Something by D.W."
At the mention of D.W. my eyes opened up slightly.
Taking a step to the side, I gestured for the guard to come in.
"Get in. Don't disturb me while I'm working."
"Okay."
The guard nodded his head and entered the room.
Once the guard stepped into the room, subtly glancing towards my left and right, I closed the door.
Ci Clank-
Upon closing the door, I turned to face the guard that had just arrived.
Extending my hand, I asked.
"Do you have it?"
"Yes."
