Chapter 43

I walked a few steps further and it was locked, but the key was in it. Security seemed to be very important here, at least I had never come across a balcony door that was also locked with a key.

I turned it around once and the familiar click of a lock opening was heard. I pushed the lever up and was able to open the door.

The cool night air hit me, making me take a deep breath. A breath of fresh air was always good, as long as it wasn't too cold.

After stepping onto the balcony I had to smile again because the view was really beautiful.

The railing was white and almost a work of art. It was made of marble and didn't even look too old. Looking at the general view of the building, it was clear that everything was regularly renovated. For an old property, this was good before it fell apart, like a house of cards.

I walked over to the railing and looked down into the garden. Small lanterns lined the path and glowed, illuminating their surroundings.
