Kapitel 40: Free Man

"The Chief wants to talk to you."

Cedric blinked after hearing that. If he were to be honest, he wasn't expecting that at all. In his mind, he didn't think that he did anything that would warrant the Chief's attention so it was surprising that he'd want to talk to him now.

"Give me a moment." He replied nonetheless, still thinking about what prompted this all of a sudden.

The warden arrived as soon as he was done bathing by the creek, he wasn't even properly dressed yet so he asked for some time to clothe himself at least before going with him.

After changing into a fresh set of prisoner uniform, he stepped outside of the hut and nodded to the warden, who then led him toward the Chief's office.

On their way, he could feel his fellow inmates whispering about him. Normally, he would already know what that's all about but right now, his field of senses was off.
