After a long time of walking, while keeping an eye on his surroundings, Vir found an opportunity. And that opportunity was a guard who had left his friend to go pee, in front of a small gate on the right side of the palace wall.
Vir had already made up his mind. So, he continued to walk without arousing the suspicion of the soldiers, approaching the soldier whose friend had just left.
He got closer and closer until the soldier frowned at him.
"What do you want, damn it?" the soldier asked Vir.
Vir stretched out his hand, holding out his palm to the soldier. "I'm hungry!"
"Son of a bitch!" The soldier snorted in annoyance. "Didn't we hand out food to you at the main gate earlier, huh?"
"I-I came late, sir," Vir said. "Please. I'm so hungry!"
He deliberately pretended to beg and looked down. He looked down but his eyes were wildly watching the soldiers on the left and right sides, a few steps away from the soldier in front of him.
