Winter Hunting - Chapter 39
Chapter 39
When I woke up again, I ended up grasping the situation sooner than before. The maid who fell asleep on a chair next to me and made a lot of soft snoring.
Ariste carefully pulled her feet out of the bet one by one. *Thruk*
The sound of the sheet slipping was heard particularly loud, but the maid’s snoring was louder, and she had no sign of awakening.
“Ah!”
At the moment, a big groaned almost came out, but I managed to close my mouth. Looking down, I saw my ankle with a splint which was wrapped tightly. Even pretending to be obedient, I thought it would be impossible to run with this foot or walk fast. But now, I didn’t have time to wait for my leg to heal. Moving towards the wall, she barely swallowed a moan.
*Sneak*
As I swiped the door, I saw a long corridor. Chandeliers were hung from the vaulted ceiling, and both walls and ceilings were filled with fine mosaics, creating a bright atmosphere. This was a sign that someone had worked hard to decorate this castle, The corridor was endlessly connected.
What’s in the end, I couldn’t even see it.
This was probably only a small part of the castle. Perhaps the size of the castle was so big that she couldn’t even guess. Ariste trembled.
‘Can I get out of here?’
I heard that the castles of the nobles were designed intricately for security, and even to guard against any intruders. So that only those who have stayed in this castle for a long time will know the way.
So, the map inside the castle was an object to be kept at the risk of life than any other heirl;oom. The moment the map fell in the hands of others, the owners of the castle and the family members were like giving their hearts to others.
I stepped on my feet unintentionally, realizing that I was barefooted and stopped. The texture of the stone on the floor was cold enough to tingle even the bones. Ariste quickly closed the door and re-entered the room.
Under the maid’s feet that were dangling in the air, was one of her shoes that slipped off her foot. She stepped on it carefully and put her foot in the shoe, She reached out for the other pair and peeled it off. Not knowing her shoes were slipping off, the maid was still in deep sleep.
When I opened the door again and came out, the cool air wrapped around my body, Ariste leaned on the wall and stepped out little by little. I had to go anywhere as soon as possible. I have to get out of this place. That’s the only thoughts filling her head.
Because of the cold weather, there weren’t many people walking around the castle. In particular the corridors and the corridor of the bedroom where she woke up have no one. Rather than not coming because of the cold, it seemed like this place was being avoided on purpose.
“Here…”
As I walked out of the corridor, The path through the outside continued again. Ariste leaned on the wall and walked. The big shoes kept slipping off, but I could stop even if I dragged my feet on the floor.
Somehow quickly, let’s get out of this place. There was only one thought all over my head as I walked like that.
Finally, I reached the end. From there, the corridor will lead to the outside.
With the joy that she could finally go outside, she forgot even the pain in her leg and laughed.
At the crossroads divided into left and right, she pondered for a moment and then chose the left side.
There would be a way out anywhere. Just when I turned around while thinking…
“Where are you going so hurriedly?” A lazy voice rang from behind. Ariste stopped as if someone had caught her from behind.
