The Price (Ch.185)

Estelle glanced down the hall, her heart thumping within her chest as she waited and watched till she confirmed no one was coming.

The position of every guard and their patrol routes through the blazed castle, Estelle had long memorized it all, 

She knew exactly when each pair of guards would go down each particular hall and who was guarding what hall at every exact time.

Estelle also knew when there would be a change of guards in her father's hall and what time her father would be away.

But even so, Estelle trembled in terror, she could not shake off the feeling that she would end up being caught.

If Estelle was caught, how exactly would she explain it to her father? Estelle knew her father loved her dearly but she also knew she would never be forgiven for this.

'What I want is a treasure in your father's possession, I hear it is sealed in a box of oak wood, stored in the study of the Lord of the Blazed Castle.'
