CHAPTER32

(Basement of the Cathedral. Tessa and Mingcheng are sneaking past the Knights to get to the Lyre as Noelle and Princess Belita are on the lookout.)

BELITA

Please don’t get caught. Please don’t get caught. Please don’t get caught. Please don’t get caught. Please don’t get caught.

NOELLE

They won’t get caught. From the looks of it, they seem like professionals.

BELITA

Tessa is a professional thief. But I’m not sure of a Fire Dragon slayer like Mingcheng is one though.

TESSA

You’re getting good at this.

MINGCHENG

Well, I used to sneak past my Grampa if I wanted to slack of training and go and play.

TESSA

I bet you were always caught since; he was able to sense you with his nose.

MINGCHENG

Yeah. Not very funny when he catches you slacking off.

(He remembers his Grampa Ydrassil the Fire Dragon would breathe fire at him.)

TESSA

We’re almost there.

(Some Knights are patrolling the area where the Lyre is.)
