Chapter 71 - Stealing Somebody's Someone

Lucky for her, she had found Syon to help with delivering the letter.

He seemed trustworthy enough not to open the letter, but if he did, well then, that was on him.

“Are you sure this will not be difficult for you? After all, your presence isn't supposed to be noticed here,” she asked him before handing over the letter to him.

“Worry not. I will be fine and he will get your letter.” With that Syon had left.

Aniya stayed up for more hours plotting the rest of her plan, and finally, when she was supposed to go to sleep, she found something strange in her room, like a shadow of a being that she couldn't see.

She screamed and someone rushed in, with a stick in his hand and a lantern in another.

“Syon?!”

“You screamed, Milady. Are you alright?”

She panted, breathing heavily as she looked around the room and right back at the spot where the towering shadow had been.

“I saw something?” she whispered to herself, her voice laced with doubt.
