Walking toward security guards, who were already familiar with me by now, I waved my paper pass before heading inside.
Opening the familiar doors of the royal dormitory, I took a quick glance inside, ensuring that nobody was around.
Peering through a crack in the door, I sighed upon seeing the common room and hallway were empty.
Taking out my smartphone, I sent a quick message to Charlotte.
[Ren: I'm outside.]
*BZZT~BZZT*
Not even giving me time to look away from my smartphone, Charlotte immediately replied.
[Charlotte: And, what exactly are you waiting for? The snow? Come in.]
...little does she know.
Opening the doors fully, I entered the luxurious hallways before taking off my jacket and wrapping around my waste.
A moment later, I heard a slight noise echo from further down the hallway while a familiar soft and calm voice spoke.
"You're late."
Shrugging my shoulders, I replied.
"Am I?"
