PAID Chapter 156
"Is this the place?"
I stopped in front of a large mansion and looked around. There was no other building nearby, so this had to be it.
The letter, having served its purpose, crumbled in my hand. I had wondered why it only came with a key and no address, but it turned out the letter itself had guided me here.
Nika and Beatrice were disappointed they couldn’t accompany me, but since I planned to leave right after meeting with Leona and Aria, and since the Crown Prince had given direct orders, they had no choice but to accept it.
As soon as I used the enclosed key to open the gate and stepped into the garden, a detection spell lightly swept over me. Of course, they wouldn’t rely on just a physical lock for security.
The detection spell continued to scan me every few steps as I crossed the garden. I ignored half of them and deflected the rest as I approached the mansion’s door. There was a lock identical to the one on the gate.
"Do I really need to use the key?"
I wondered as I pulled out the key. The lock clicked, and I heard it disengage.
"...?"
But that was it. Despite the lock being undone, the door didn’t open. I looked down at the key, wondering what it had unlocked.
As I stood there puzzled, the door opened slightly. A chain prevented it from fully opening, and through the gap, Rosaria peeked out.
"Password."
"What password?"
"No password, no entry."
"Is that so? Then I’ll just head back."
I turned to leave, but Rosaria’s arm shot out through the gap and grabbed my wrist. She pouted as she glared at me.
"You’re supposed to ask how to get the password, not just leave."
