Capítulo 226: Light and Curses...

"Please wait for a moment…"

It was dead at night….

Cold and dark.

The hallway of Killian Hall was practically deserted, a cold silence filling the space as I stood awkwardly in front of Emilia's dorm room.

The magical dim lights cast eerie shadows against the walls, flickering ever so slightly as the moonlight seeped through the massive, open windows.

The door in front of me was familiar enough—just like every other one in Killian Hall with its high-standard design and intricate markings.

This was the door leading towards Emilia's dorm room…

And beside the door, flanking it, were two figures who made the situation all the more uncomfortable: Anna and Amon, Emilia's personal guards.

Both of them stood rigid, their faces stern but uneasy.

Except for their first request of making me wait for a moment…

They hadn't said a word since I arrived, merely glancing at me with tight lips and avoiding direct eye contact.
