Chapter 40: A Weird Request
Then—there was a knock on the door.
Inigo doesn’t have to know the person who had knocked from the other side of the door, as he already knew who it was.
"Inigo—You have a visitor!"
"Wait...it’s not Lyra?"
Inigo had expected the person to be Lyra, but it turns out he was wrong. Well—nothing to be sad about when the person you are expecting is already waiting in the reception hall.
Inigo quickly put WLSN in his inventory and made his way towards the door.
Upon exiting his room, the innkeeper greeted him with a pleasing smile.
"Good morning Inigo!" she said cheerily and then teasingly. "Jeez, you shouldn’t have kept your partner waiting for too long. She looked like she was ready to throw a knife into the ceiling."
Inigo raised an eyebrow. "She does that?"
"She looked like the type," the innkeeper winked, then gestured toward the stairwell. "She’s in the reception hall. Said she didn’t want to come up and startle you. Very polite... in a tense, quiet, ’I’ll break your fingers if you lie to me’ sort of way."
Inigo sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yep. That’s Lyra."
