37: Surprise?
In the palace foyer, a grand painting depicting the suffering of the vampires during the purging suddenly moved. The wall behind it opened. It was a door! And Lara's head peeked out from behind it, her gaze looking left to right.
"Hmm." Lara closed her eyes and focused on her hearing. She listened, analyzing her surroundings for movement. Hm… No movement. There was no one in sight. Good.
Everything appears to be in order...
So, trying not to make a sound, Lara squeezed herself out of the secret door and closed it quietly. She watched her surroundings again. As soon as she shut the door, she needed to make sure once again that there was no one approaching her location.
Okay, clear.
