The Villainess only wants to go home

Chapter 23 - Sneaking in (Part 1)

I was walking along the corridor looking for the training ground where the future knights and knights trained.

The reason why I'm heading that way because I need to borrow a cloak. Diana had no such thing in her closet, everything was dresses, corset, or shoes yet nothing to cover myself in the crowd.

I wanted to ask the staff, but I knew they would ask questions, scowl, and then notify the duke which I'm not risking it. You can't be too careful with people especially the ones that hate you. They really have things to say or do to make you in trouble.

The knights however in the mansion only care about getting stronger and getting a powerful dragon to ride. Never really cared what kind of dramas that occurred in the mansion. So, they might help me *cough cough* Diana.

Lilly and stella would snitch on me to Ariana and I don't want to deal with her anymore neither would I ask her for a cloak because then she will ask me to question me again but any way, I doubt she has a plain brown cloak like a commoner, she would defiantly have a fancy one which I don't want because that would bring attention to me.

After I done that, I had gotten a cloak I will go to Ariana and receive me gold.

Finally reaching the training grounds I watched under the blazing sun how the men trained under the heat, sweat pouring down their foreheads as they collided their blades together some with wooden swords.

They were sure strong with their well-built bodies and fast. The author did state that knights from the Aurum empire were the strongest, people from far wide would make their way here to get trained by them, but I was obviously stronger and faster in a hundred different levels even with this weak body I'm able to take them down without using any blade just my bare hands. Once again thank you Hiroshi sensei.

I examined them one by one trying to look for one that would gladly let me borrow a cloak and maybe a bag. If they have one and willing to share.

Some of them were younger then 16 while other were older all had stern and masculine faces, from old to young, wrinkly to smooth nevertheless none looked like they would share their belongings with the used to be bad-tempered noble lady, Diana Glacies.

Why am I bothering with this when I can just steal a cloak? I'm the no.1 assassin of the 21st century with amazing sneaking skills, I can sneak in broad daylight and in the dark and never get caught why am I suddenly relying on people to get things for me.

'Seriously, this place has taken a toll on me'.

I hid in between the leaves of the tree, staring at a wide building that looked like an old asylum from my world, white walls, and a blue roof. It looked kind of old but still sturdy enough for a couple of hundred people to stay, eat and rest.

'Hmm so this is where the knights and guards stay.'

I looked towards the door, two knights stood guard, nodding every time a couple of men or a man walked out.

"Defiantly can't go through there" I whispered.

I searched for an opening. So many windows but which one.

I scanned some more when I spotted an open window in the furthest corner and my luck it was on the bottom level making it even more easy to sneak in.

"Bingo" I smirked.

I jumped down landing on the grass without making a single sound. Ninja skills.

Now all I have to do is alter my dress to my sneaking even more light.

I ran and hid behind a few bushes so no one can see me. I closed my eyes, feeling the earth beneath my feet, feeling for any presence nearby. A skill I learnt from Takashi Sensei; he was a master of listening to the earth and carefully listening closely for any sign of intruders or people.
