The girl shook her hair. She had not had time to tie it up since she came back from the forest. The looseness of her shawl was a bit obstructive for movements like climbing and jumping. Then she looked at Sandino who had not yet come in.
"What's wrong? Aren't you coming in?"
"No...it's just that shouldn't the window lock be indoors? How did you open it?" Although Sandino was confused, he walked over step by step.
Anya chuckled.
"Every building in this school has my secret passage. This is a secret that you know and I know, but don't tell anyone else." Anya said while reaching out to the window and pulling Sandino in.
The corridor in this auditorium has no lights and is extremely quiet. The moonlight that pours in from the windows and reflects on the marble floor illuminates the entire corridor.
The two people's slowed footsteps were soft and rhythmic, and the shadows of the boy and the girl kept intersecting in the darkness, like two birds flying in the night sky.
Sandino looked around nervously. Although he and Cesare had violated school discipline before, they were just things that could be tolerated by admitting their mistakes and apologizing. This was his first time sneaking into the teaching building at night.
There was a faint cool breeze blowing in the corridor. There must be no ghosts here at night!
Sandino thought about the scary rumors he had heard, about the students who jumped from the building in San Carlo before, and about the ghosts floating around at night. Coupled with the dim scene at this time, Sandino swallowed his saliva and became more and more afraid.
"Um... where are we going now?" Sandino asked weakly.
"The principal's office." Anya turned around and replied briskly. "I know a shortcut and it will be there soon."
"Huh? Where?" Sandino couldn't believe his ears for a moment, thinking that he must have heard wrong. On weekdays, students rarely see the principal in school.
Judging from the information that teachers inadvertently reveal on weekdays, it is said that the principal is an extremely stingy miser, the kind who will hold a grudge for the rest of his life if he offends even the slightest, let alone breaking into his office without permission.
"Sorry, I may have heard wrongly...did you mention the principal's office just now?"
"Uh-huh." Anya confirmed nonchalantly. "The principal who discovered such a large-scale turmoil must have received instructions and documents from higher levels. If you want to find out what happened, that's the place where the truth is most likely to be hidden."
Anya turned back to look at Sandino and found that his pale face was no longer just nervous, so she patted his shoulder gently in a comforting way, indicating that he didn't need to be too afraid.
"It's okay, because this shortcut also leads to the school's finance room, so no one is allowed to pass by without permission after eight o'clock in the evening. Violators, whether they are employees or students, may be expelled. We basically don't Someone will find out.”
Anya smiled and curled her fingers into a small circle, making a gesture that represented little possibility.
But this sentence is not very comforting.
"Doesn't that mean it's more dangerous!" Sandino not only shouted in a low voice, but also immediately realized that his voice was a little out of control, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.
Anya responded with a naughty smile, then turned around like dancing and continued walking deeper into the corridor. There was no special instruction for Sandino to follow, which seemed to give Sandino a final chance to make a decision. It was still too late to withdraw at this time.
Sandino hesitated tangledly, thinking that he had followed him all the way here and had already let out his bragging words, so how could he give up in front of the girl. He took a deep breath to cheer himself up, his eyes became firm and he took a few steps to catch up with Anya.
Passed through the corridor and walked up several flights of stairs.
Just as Anya said, no matter how noisy the predecessor of the auditorium was, there was no sign of anyone on this route at all, and the passages to other areas of the auditorium were also locked with iron doors to prevent anyone from entering.
Anya walked very fast, walking nimbly up the stairs without making any sound, just like a nocturnal cat.
Sandino's legs were so tired that he wanted to keep up with Anya's speed. Not only did he have to keep up, but he also had to make sure his steps were light enough. If Anya didn't have to stop and wait for him to catch up every time he turned a corner, he would have been almost exhausted. Almost lost every time.
Seeing that he was about to reach the principal's office when he went up another floor, he didn't know if the principal would still be in his office when there was such a serious commotion outside.
With random thoughts in his mind, Sandino followed Anya closely as he climbed the last flight of stairs. When he passed the corner, Anya's body suddenly froze in place and stopped moving forward.
Sandino followed the girl's gaze and looked forward. There seemed to be a vague figure in the dark corridor.
Sandino was startled at that time and thought he had really seen a ghost.
But after taking a closer look, I found that the figure's height and width seemed to be that of a student similar to the two of them, and he was looking at them both in surprise. It seemed that the situation at this time was unplanned for both parties. changes.
Squinting his eyes to observe, Sandino felt more and more that the student looked familiar, with a short stature, sunken eyes, a beak-like nose, and an annoying feeling that could be felt from a long distance away.
Isn't that the notorious nuisance in the school - Gallon! The number one bastard who has been colluding with senior student Boris on weekdays and has been making things difficult for Sandino and Cesare in school.
Stealing Sandino's partner at the ball and planning to make Cesare look foolish were all the work of this boy!
The moment she saw Gallon blocking the way, Anya's optimistic smile that she had always maintained disappeared. The girl's expression became gloomy, and she obviously didn't like Gallon's appearance...
But why is Gallon here? Sandino couldn't think clearly.
Galen, who was standing opposite, slowly stretched his neck to get a clear look at the faces of Anya and Sandino. He smiled strangely, as if he had discovered a good recreational toy.
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Cesare's little follower, and this dear lady..." Gallon's eyes gradually shifted, and his annoying eyes slowly glanced over Anya's body from her feet. top of head.
"Isn't this the little wife who is engaged to be married to my eldest brother?"
Galen smiled maliciously. As the sixth son of the Orsini family, of course he knew how old his eldest brother was this year, but the authority of the family was there, and it was natural for him to marry a young and beautiful wife after being widowed. matter.
Sandino was caught off guard by the sudden information. His eyes switched back and forth between Gallon and Anya, wondering what the situation was now.
Regardless of whether Anya wants this marriage or not, there is no way that a little Earl Lauryn can refuse the marriage contract initiated by the three major families.
Anya wanted to stay strong after being poked at a painful spot, but only she knew the fragile side of her heart. This was a fate she had always wanted to escape but could never escape. The only topic that the girl who had always been optimistic and cheerful never wanted to mention... …
The corners of Anya's mouth twitched a few times and then drooped slightly. The girl who was still alive just now was like a slowly withering flower. She haggardly raised her right arm to hug herself, looking helpless to protect herself.
The annoying Galen became even more proud when he saw Anya's sad look. Anyway, he didn't like Anya who ruined his good deeds, nor did he like his brother who would take away his title.
"You ruined my good deeds at the ball. I was so anxious that I couldn't help but recognize it. It turns out that in a few days we will be a family. How offending it is. Don't you think so? Beautiful Mrs. Orsini?" "
