Chapter 282: The Ring and the Cat

Leaving the city involved multiple checks, and entering the city was no less challenging. Moreover, because the Church was conducting searches on every street in the city, Shard and Miss Maid had to take a long detour by carriage before finally returning to the quiet Saint Delan Square at night.

Miss Tifa Servet did not leave the carriage, sending Shard upstairs to retrieve the vampire tooth.

The gas lamp at home probably needed cleaning, as the light on the staircase was a bit dim, but for an outlander, this was the light of home.
