Chapter 23 - Sneaking in (Part 1)


    I was walking along the corridor looking for the training ground where the future knights and knights


    trained.


    The reason why I''m heading that way because I need to borrow a cloak. Diana had no such thing in her


    closet, everything was dresses, corset, or shoes yet nothing to cover myself in the crowd.


    I wanted to ask the staff, but I knew they would ask questions, scowl, and then notify the duke which


    I''m not risking it. You can''t be too careful with people especially the ones that hate you. They really


    have things to say or do to make you in trouble.


    The knights however in the mansion only care about getting stronger and getting a powerful dragon to


    ride. Never really cared what kind of dramas that urred in the mansion. So, they might help me


    *cough cough* Diana.


    Lilly and ste would snitch on me to Ariana and I don''t want to deal with her anymore neither would I


    ask her for a cloak because then she will ask me to question me again but any way, I doubt she has a


    in brown cloak like amoner, she would definitely have a fancy one which I don''t want because


    that would bring attention to me.


    After I done that, I had gotten a cloak I will go to Ariana and receive me gold.


    Finally reaching the training grounds I watched under the zing sun how the men trained under the


    heat, sweat pouring down their foreheads as they collided their des together some with wooden


    swords.


    They were sure strong with their well-built bodies and fast. The author did state that knights from the


    Aurum empire were the strongest, people from far wide would make their way here to get trained by


    them, but I was obviously stronger and faster in a hundred different levels even with this weak body I''m


    able to take them down without using any de just my bare hands. Once again thank you Hiroshi


    sensei.


    I examined them one by one trying to look for one that would dly let me borrow a cloak and maybe a


    bag. If they have one and willing to share.


    Some of them were younger then 16 while other were older all had stern and masculine faces, from old


    to young, wrinkly to smooth nevertheless none looked like they would share their belongings with the


    used to be bad-tempered nobledy, Diana cies.


    Why am I bothering with this when I can just steal a cloak? I''m the no.1 assassin of the 21st century


    with amazing sneaking skills, I can sneak in broad daylight and in the dark and never get caught why


    am I suddenly relying on people to get things for me.


    ''Seriously, this ce has taken a toll on me''.


    I hid in between the leaves of the tree, staring at a wide building that looked like an old asylum from my


    world, white walls, and a blue roof. It looked kind of old but still sturdy enough for a couple of hundred


    people to stay, eat and rest.


    ''Hmm so this is where the knights and guards stay.''


    I looked towards the door, two knights stood guard, nodding every time a couple of men or a man


    walked out.


    "Defiantly can''t go through there" I whispered.


    I searched for an opening. So many windows but which one.


    I scanned some more when I spotted an open window in the furthest corner and my luck it was on the


    bottom level making it even more easy to sneak in.


    "Bingo" I smirked.


    I jumped downnding on the grass without making a single sound. Ninja skills.


    Now all I have to do is alter my dress to my sneaking even more light.


    I ran and hid behind a few bushes so no one can see me. I closed my eyes, feeling the earth beneath


    my feet, feeling for any presence nearby. A skill I learnt from Takashi Sensei; he was a master of


    listening to the earth and carefully listening closely for any sign of intruders or people.


    When I didn''t hear or feel any presence nearby, I started what I hid for.


    I ripped the skirt clean off with my bare hands, yeah with my bare hands. Revealing the crinoline frame.


    I hated wearing this it just made my but look bigger.


    I pulled it over my head and threw it in the bushes. Now I was bare feet with my undergarments. Taking


    the fabric of the skirt I wrapped it around my waist making a skirt but not a long or a short one but just


    the right size to sneak around. I looked down at my little heeled shoes. I didn''t need to take them off, I


    can walk silently even with heels. I''m an assassin of course and assassin trained by mastering


    from families of modern-day ninjas.


    Actually, they are ufortable to run with. I slipped them out and hid them in the bushes with the


    crinoline frame. I took out my pouch of coins and the key and hid them behind the bush so they


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    wouldn''t rattle when I''m running neither did, I want some rando stealing my well-deserved gold that I


    borrowed from the Duke.


    I slowly and silently walked around the trees avoiding any one near the building as I made way to


    where the open window was.


    I looked around and sensed no one near. I ran quietly with my hands out (Naruto style).


    I quickly mmed by back against the wall so no one could see me through any window.


    I peeked my head a little, to see if no one was in the room, when I saw and sensed none, I slipped


    through the window quietly. Landing in a superheronding, I scanned around again. There was


    wooden weapons everywhere, bows and arrows stacked up in the corner of the room, hay dolls for


    practice. ''This ce is where they keep their training equipment. So, no cloak''.


    I quietly walked to the door and opened slowly, peeping my head out knowing no one was there thanks


    to my 6th sense.


    I closed the door behind me and ran through the wooden corridor without a creak.


    Dorms are always on the top levels not the bottoms so I must find a way up. No stairs to risky.


    I came to a halt when I sensed a couple of mening this way, rather loud people if you ask me.


    "So, who do you think is going to win?" a man voiced out loudly, he sounded like he was a in his mid-


    20s.


    "What are you talking about, Mark. It''s definitely Sir Leo" another masculine voice spoke as they came


    nearer to where I was.


    Not wasting another second, I span around, running through the different direction. I took a sharp left


    then right.


    I came to stop when I felt another presenceing my way. I wasn''t furious about it since this ce


    would be crawling with people. This is their home anyway.


    I looked around and found a door behind me, no presence was felt in their so barged in, shutting the


    door behind me.


    I nced around to see wooden crates stacked up against each other. "This is defiantly the storage


    room" I mumbled.


    "~The rooster wakes up one morning and goes cock a doodle doo~" I cringed at the horrible singing


    that was getting louder. "~Cock a doodle doo~" he was singing some awful child nursery rhyme. ''Dude,


    how old are you to be singing these songs. 5''


    The guy stopped behind the door, and I immediately knew he was going toe in. Quickly making a


    run for cover, I leaped behind a bunch of crates quietly without making a sound.


    The door swung open and in came the horrible singing man.


    "~hmhmhmhmhm, the man goes to the cock and goes bark bark~" he sang as I heard his loud


    footsteps getting closer, I rose an eyebrow in confusion. ''Bark bark? When did a human bark at a


    rooster? Shouldn''t that be a dogs job?''


    He finally stopped his rusty and creaking singing. "No, I think that''s the dogs line".


    ''No shit sherlock'' I rolled my eyes.


    "Now what was I here for" he was quiet for second, seemed like he was thinking.


    "Oh, yeah. I need to get the flour for tonight''s meal. ~hmhmh~" he hummed while his voice faded a


    little. I peeked a little to see where he went, and I saw his back side. He had messy brown hair and


    He bent down and picked up a sack of flour before halting it over his shoulder and walking out as he


    whistled his dumb nursery rhyme.


    ''I never want to hear a man sing so horribly again. My ears are already bleeding''.
