The moment Eliza sensed someone enter her room, she didn't rush out. Instead, she stayed hidden within her pocket farm, listening quietly for any signs of trouble.

Tina was right outside. If the intruder meant harm, they'd be dealt with before they took a second breath.

But oddly enough, Eliza waited a good while... and heard nothing. No struggle, No sound of resistance,

"Strange..." she murmured. "Could it be someone I know?"

The room remained still-until suddenly, a lamp flared to life.

The flickering flame lit the darkness... and exposed the uninvited guest.

“Renee?” Eliza sat up in surprise as she spotted the figure huddled in the corner. "What are you doing here?"

The girl who had been left in Kane's care was now in her room.

Renee's voice trembled. “I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just didn't want to stay with Mr. Valencia, so I snuck away. I came to find you."

But that wasn't what shocked Eliza most. Her eyes narrowed.

"How did you get past the guards downstairs?"

Nolan had stationed Black Flag soldiers outside. They rotated shifts through the night-yet Renee had slipped in unseen?

A chill crept through Eliza's spine. Could this girl be more than she seemed?

As if reading her suspicion, Renee quickly stammered, "Please don't be scared. I swear I don't know any tricks. I've just always been... well, invisible. If I keep quiet and control my breathing, people don't notice me."

It was how she'd escaped the county magistrate in Caslig County-just staying small and unnoticed.

Eliza raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

Renee nodded eagerly. "I can show you! Just turn around. Then look back again."
