Chapter 40: 040. Stone of Truth (2)
"Cecilia."
"What is it?"
"I'm worried that Cecilia's heartbeat is too loud and we might get caught."
"Foolish Arwen! That sound is coming from you, not me!"
"...."
Here, two girls are moving stealthily along the dimly lit corridor of the mansion, sticking to the walls like mice.
The incident began with the legendary artifact, the Stone of Truth, disguised as a gift that entered the mansion yesterday. Having experienced the power of the artifact firsthand, the two girls planned this ambush.
Of course, the plan was influenced by Veris's sleeping habits. Once he falls asleep, he is completely unaware, to the point that someone could carry him away. Moreover, the Stone of Truth was also asleep in a gift box in the mansion's storage...
It was truly like leaving grains of rice with a sparrow.
"He should be asleep by now, right?"
"...Maybe. But I can't be sure."
Cecilia pouted at Arwen's voice, which lacked any confidence.
