"Go." A small whisper filled the silent night as a pair of people stood next to the wall, ready to climb it. As expected of a city built in a safe place, there wasn't even a ditch for basic fortification.
Both of them gathered their Spiritual Energy in their feet as they jumped as high as they could.
Even though the wall wasn't that tall, it was impossible for them to reach the wall in a single leap. Hence, one of them raised both hands while the other ones placed their feet on them, using the hands as stepping for the second leap.
Still, they were tied by a long rope. The second leap was enough to reach the top of the wall, but because of the rope, the one at the bottom was stuck hanging.
The one at the top immediately pulled the other one up until both of them reached the top of the wall.
They ducked down while looking around, finding the pair of the patrol would take a long time to get to them.
So, both of them nodded and attached the rope to the side of the wall before jumping down. They couldn't do another stunt with the demons as their cushions, so they had to use the rope to let them decrease the altitude before one of them cut the rope so that both of them fell to the ground.
Since the rope was cut by one of them, the rest of the rope followed the other person. There was no way anyone would find any evidence about their infiltration.
Both of them nodded with a serious expression as they used the dark alley as their cover to move through the city.
"What should we do now? We can go to the mansion now, but if we use light to search for anything in your family mansion, we'll be noticed easily." Anna whispered.
"We go there and wait until the sun is up. I know the mansion the most, so I know the place to hide."
Anna nodded as they started moving again. When they reached the main street, they looked around first to make sure no one saw them before leaping to the other side, approaching the mansion.
Because they weren't used to this, it took them two hours to finally arrive near the mansion.
"There are two guards on the gate, I don't see any patrols, but I believe we'll see one soon. We have to observe their pattern first before making a move," said Anna while examining the mansion.
"Then, let's move to the back first. There is a huge tree at the back of the mansion which we can use as a cover. And the wall there is a fixed wall, not one with railing pattern, which can be seen through like this." Noel suggested as he pointed to the right, asking her to follow him.
Anna nodded and started moving again. At the same time, they maintained their distance from the mansion to make sure they could see if there were any guards patrolling the mansion.
Surprisingly, Anna only found one guard as if there was a lack of fund for this mansion. Anna didn't know that Noel was aware of this lack of security this whole time. After all, his grandfather had investigated this place.
They looped around the mansion and finally reached the back of the mansion. As he said earlier, no one could see through the wall and there was a huge tree at the corner. If they wanted to observe the mansion, they could do it from there.
Anna and Noel exchanged looks before nodding their heads as a signal. In that instant, they moved to the wall and leaped to the top of the wall. The wall wasn't that high, so it was easy for them to go past the wall. Normally, this would be impossible because of the number of guards patrolling the mansion, but the Royal Family seemed to be inviting him by using this amount of guards.
They hid behind the trees to check whether there was any light or not inside the mansion.
"What should we do next? The mansion should be locked or any thieves can simply enter." Anna asked again.
Noel also agreed to that opinion and waved his hand. "There is one place that shouldn't be locked."
"Where is it?" Anna asked while following him to the other corner of the mansion.
"The servant quarter. It's separated from the mansion, so we should be able to find something there."
Noel pointed at a small building on the corner. This place was used to be a living quarters for the maids and other servants.
As soon as they reached the servant quarter, Anna hurriedly went to the door and opened it, only to find it locked.
"Wait, it's locked as well. Do we have to break the window?" Anna asked in confusion.
"Why do you want to use the door?" Noel shook his head helplessly as he walked to the other part of the building. However, there wasn't a single thing in this area other than grasses and wall.
"What are we going to do here?"
Noel lowered his body and started digging the ground.
"What are you doing?" Anna became even more confused.
"There is a hole on the other side where we can enter. Then, we just have to go to a room, which shouldn't be locked to retrieve the mansion's key. Also, help me dig!"
"What the hell? How do you even know there's a hole there?"
"I was the one who broke it to sneak into this place."
"You what? Are you sneaking so that you can steal the maids—"
"Your mind is so dirty." Noel shook his head helplessly. "I often bought my maid some stuff like better clothes and since it would bring the jealousy of other maids, I had to do it like this."
"What kind of relationship do you have with your maids? To even do something like that…"
"I simply treated the people who treated me good better." Noel snorted. "Hurry up and help me."
Anna made a wry smile, thinking, 'Are you indirectly implying that I'm the exact opposite?'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
