Chapter 598

Chapter 598: The Part of Her That Still Loves Him

Timing her breath, Nnenna waited until both men were distracted in quiet conversation. Then, with the swiftness of a cat, she dropped down from the rafters above the corridor, landing silently behind them.

She moved fast, hugging the shadows until she reached the side door normally reserved for servants. Her fingers slipped into the pocket sewn inside her sleeve, pulling out a thin wire she had prepared earlier.

A few quick turns of the wire, and the lock clicked open with a soft snap. She slid inside just as one guard turned his head. For a heartbeat, she thought he had seen her, but then he scratched his neck and yawned.

And at the very end, Nanny’s cell waited.

Finally, Nnenna reached the far end of the dungeon. The torchlight along the walls was dim, throwing jagged shadows across the damp stone. She scanned the cells one by one until her eyes settled on Nanny, sitting on a wooden bench, hands folded loosely, staring into nothing.
