Chapter 56: Working together

Jane's thoughts were immediately interrupted. For a moment, she wondered if she was being pranked by the woman sitting behind her, whose face she hadn't seen. Before she could turn to look, the person behind her said, "Don't turn. We don't need the guards wondering if something is wrong," the woman's voice continued, but by now Jane's suspicion had turned into confirmation that this was Ricardo sitting here.

Jane picked up the coffee cup near her face and whispered so that the others couldn't hear her, "To be out in the open, isn't it risky even with the scarecrow with you?"

"It is, but no one knows about this new appearance, considering they didn't spend much time with Agnes. It wasn't that hard to dress with the experience," Ricardo replied. Jane couldn't help but find it strange that he was speaking in a woman's voice. She could only guess that this was possible with the scarecrow's help. "With those guards around you, it is hard to talk to you."
