I took a step forward, but I was immediately stopped by Cecilia.
She turned back to look at me with a gaze like she was asking, "What are you doing?"
But I just said, "There's no point waiting here when it's clear that nothing is going to happen. We don't have all night to stay here, so we should at least see what's behind the door."
Cecilia deeply knitted her brows when she heard this, but she eventually gave a nod of agreement.
She too knew that it was too late to back down now that they had come this far.
At the very least, they should see what was behind the door.
But Cecilia made sure that she was in front of me as we moved forward.
She had her sword raised and was fully on alert, not intending to let a single thing happen to me.
The only reason that I was even allowed to go forward was because I had been the one that opened the door.
So we slowly inched towards the door until we were standing right in front of it.
