Chapter 32 – The Imperial Princess' Sorrow (2)

After arriving at the treasury office in the inner palace, I picked the door open with a wire and went in. I used the wire because it was cast with magic that would inflate its volume to match the key, not because I was particularly good at picking locks.

The tricky part about this magic was that increasing the volume too much could break the lock, while not increasing the volume enough would prevent the lock from being removed. The wire was only able to become a key by an exact increase in volume. The name of the wire was Alohomora.

When I stepped into the treasury office, I immediately began to open the safes. Like the outer palace office, the safes contained a variety of documents. Among them, the most notable document was the civil service training evaluation record.
