A Stupid Plan

The person who came in... looked skinny. His brown hair had gray spots in places, he must have been over forty. His clothes were not pajamas or the clothes of someone who had just woken up. He looked more like... a butler.

The man let his dull yellow eyes roam the room for a while. Then, he closed the door without a sound and approached the baron's office.

He passed Kael standing in the middle of the room, not noticing him at all... Or rather, unable to notice him.

'He... He didn't see me... I did it.'

Kael had used his follower ability as soon as he realized the door had opened. Apparently, he had managed to erase himself from the man's line of sight before he saw him.

'That was close... too close.'

He calmed himself, slowed his breathing and his heart. Then he studied the man who had entered.

'Who... is this, though?'
