Bab 338: Setting the pieces in motion [2]

Ko Knock—

The moment the door knocked, my head snapped in its direction.

Staring at Angelica who was also staring at the door, I put my finger on my mouth and urged her to hide. 

Ko Knock—

The door knocked once more. 

Taking the mask and putting it on, I hoarsely said.

"Coming."

—Gulp!

I quickly chugged onto a potion. Slowly, the mana inside of my body started recovering, albeit slowly.

Glancing around the room to make sure that Angelica wasn't within sight, I extended my hand towards the right side of the wall.

Ci Clank—

Upon touching the wall, the side of the wall lit up slightly and the door unlocked with a click. 

"Who is it?"

Showing an annoyed look, I opened the door and looked at the one responsible for disturbing me. 

This time, I wasn't acting. 

I truly was annoyed. 

"Hello."
