"He doesn't seem to have noticed us yet. Do you think he's like the captain of the guards in this section?" Ty whispered into Nana's ear, observing the guard intently.

"It's possible, but he seems to be lost in writing his notes. We should proceed with caution," Nana responded quietly, her eyes fixed on the guard.

Suddenly, the guard's voice boomed out, "Lenard! I told you not to come down here until you learn not to fall asleep on post, damn it!" He slammed his fist on the desk in frustration and looked up towards the entrance where Nana and Ty had entered. However, his gaze found nothing but the long empty hallway filled with the snoring noises of the other guards.

"What the hell? I know I heard the cellar door open," he murmured, rubbing his eyes, questioning whether his exhaustion was playing tricks on him.
