The moment the knocking sounded, everyone in the house stiffened. The knocks came in a steady rhythm, each tap light yet deliberate.
‘What should we do?’ Aurora and Fiat exchanged anxious glances. For a moment, they feared the guards had doubled back. But then they recalled—Princess could vanish into the void. With that reassurance, their tension eased, and they exhaled in relief.
Yet, Yaeger remained on edge. Her [Void Walk] was far from foolproof. If someone possessed sharp spatial awareness or wielded advanced detection magic, they could still uncover her presence.
‘I have no choice but to take the risk.' At this point, Yaeger had only two options: fight her way out, eliminating everyone in her path, or slip into the void and remain hidden. The first was a gamble; the second, a far safer bet. But in reality, she had no real choice at all.
Just as Yaeger prepared to step into the void once more, the knocking abruptly ceased. A moment later, a woman's voice drifted through the door. "Excuse me, is my master here?"
Aurora and Fiat exchanged bewildered glances at the question.
"Master? What master? There's no one by that name here," Aurora replied, her brow furrowing. Something felt off. Who would dare come knocking at a time like this? Were they not afraid of being harassed by the guards?
Fiat tensed, his fists clenching as he fixed his gaze on the door. A subtle but unmistakable danger emanated from the woman outside. It was the kind of presence that felt like a coiled viper, poised to strike its prey.
