Chapter 67: First Night II

Lucian carefully made his way from the main building to the quarters. He couldn't afford to be seen by anybody, and he was good at hiding too. He had spent all his life inside the walls of these buildings, he knew every nook and cranny in the place, and knew exactly where and when to hide to avoid being seen.

It took a while, but after twenty long minutes, he was finally at Simon's doorstep. He knocked quietly while praying deep down that Simon was still awake. Luck had been on his side because his squire had opened the door not longer than a minute later.

Lucian walked in, and the moment the door was locked behind him, he immediately closed the distance between them and pressed his lips against Simon's.
