Chapter 105: Just after Midnight

Just after midnight, Angeline’s eyes cracked open for reasons unbeknownst to her, and, with a rustling of sheets, she got out of bed. A diagonal beam of moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, casting the room in dim blue. She looked around to see the other girls soundly asleep.

Angeline pressed her hand against her eyes and took a deep breath. She’d be back on the move the next morning, so staying up late would do a number on her body. But she didn’t feel like she’d be able to get any more sleep.

Last night, after they’d parted with Liselotte and settled in the inn, everyone had gotten together to talk. Belgrieve wanted to pin down the identity of the elf that had appeared in Findale. However, the prospect of gaining information from Salazar was also hard to ignore. Thus, he had proposed they split up into two teams—and Angeline had immediately said she would head to the capital. After all, she had Liselotte—a connection to get her into high-society circles. At least, that was her excuse, but she had a vague feeling it was better to keep some distance from Belgrieve for the time being.

She wanted to get her own feelings in order, whether or not that was the right thing to do. She’d been feeling rather gloomy and wanted to find some way to resolve things. A change of environment—that might be just what I need.

For what it was worth, Kasim had met Salazar, and he also knew Satie, so he was headed to the capital as well. Angeline would be joined by her party members, Anessa and Miriam. For their part, Touya, Maureen, and Ishmael were already headed to the capital, while Marguerite, unable to stomach that dispute that had broken out when they first entered Findale, wanted to be anywhere but there, so she insisted on joining the capital party. Only Belgrieve and Percival would stay behind to follow the trail of the mysterious elf.

Angeline lay back down supine on the bed, but after much tossing and turning, she ultimately gave up and left the warm confines of the covers once more. She could faintly hear the merry clamor of the pub through the walls and floorboards, in spite of being on a lower floor, and in a separate building at that. With all else so quiet, her ears would inadvertently zero in on this noise.

I should get some water... And with that, she left the room.

The hallway was silent, but as she descended the stairs and passed through an outside alley, getting closer to the neighboring building, the noise of all the drunkards crammed into it became all the louder. This only further stirred her from sleepiness. She scratched her cheek awkwardly, hesitating whether to enter or not, but she was honest-to-goodness thirsty. Hovering around the bar counter, she was a bit surprised to see Percival sitting in the far corner. She walked over to him.

“What, can’t sleep?” Percival said, glancing at her before she could get a word in.
