The Exercise of Fingers

In the next two days, Lucia spent most of her time in her room or in the garden. She had heightened her senses and noticed Base was always trailing her from the distance and observed what she was doing. 

That made Lucia very cautious and couldn't properly do her thing to get back to the kitchen door. She couldn't even go near it since she would meet a couple of servants or Base himself there. 

"Tsk, this is troublesome," Lucia muttered while brushing her hair. She untangled the few strands while angrily slamming the comb on the table. "I thought I finally had the time to explore!" 

Lucia closed her eyes and took a deep breath to compose herself. She didn't want to raise Base's suspicion and f*cked herself up. 

It was already nine in the evening and Lucia was getting ready to bed. She planned to wake up early later and go to the kitchen again.
