Third POV—
Entering, Maria found that the door led her to passage. With her guard up, she started to go deeper into it.
Walking for almost half an hour, she reached a dead end. If Maria was an ordinary person, she would have walked back, thinking it was dead end. But Maria was a trained assassin. She had faced countless situations like that.
Maria continued walking and went through the dead end as if it didn't even exist in the first place. A fucking illusion was all it was. She didn't even bat her eyelashes at the very poor excuse of the illusion.
Crossing the illusion, Maria found her face to face with Heriedieck. He was having a dinner.
