There are all kinds of surprises in this world (M)

Without even changing my clothes, I stepped into the portal and tiptoed around the garden, trying to suppress my presence as much as possible. I did stop a servant on the way tough, and asked them where Natha was. Thanks to them, I found out that Natha was still in his office.

I glanced at the darkening sky outside the Castle. He still worked at this hour? He usually came back to the Lord's quarters when I still lived there, so...was he staying late to take care of the wedding business, or was it because this was his schedule when I wasn't around?

Hmm...

Instead of going there directly, I turned toward the library and used the secret tunnel in one of the private rooms that I had taken with Eruha before. Kind of weird walking along the place alone, but I could make hovering fireballs by myself now, so I made a lot to accompany my journey.
