Novel Bin
Chapter 126
One of the more experienced maids, who knew about my visits to the Sacred Salon, saw me off.
“Have a safe trip, my lady.”
“I’ll be back soon. Take care of things while I’m gone.”
“If you’re not back by ten, I’ll come looking for you.”
In a world without cell phones, or even emergency bells on streetlamps, her words felt reassuring.
I stepped out of the back gate with confidence—
"Woof! Woof!"
Immediately, a dog started barking, and I screamed internally.
No, no, no! Don’t wake up my parents, you idiot!
Fortunately, the maid reacted quickly, pulling out a strip of jerky and luring the dog away. I hurriedly shut the gate behind me and quickened my pace.
Why was the dog barking?
I glanced around but saw nothing suspicious. That dog wasn’t dumb enough to bark at every passing cat…
Still, I had a bad feeling about this.
Shaking it off, I navigated through the crowds enjoying their Saturday night, forcing my increasingly exhausted body to push forward.
Eventually, I reached the stone path leading to the abandoned chapel.
Circling around the building, I opened the wooden door.
As always, the warm scent of food and the distant murmur of music welcomed me inside.
But… why does something feel off?@@novelbin@@
"Woof!"
“Oh, hello, Lady Witch.”
What do you think?
