    Chapter 1222 Secret


    When Sasha finally came to, her surroundings had already gone quiet.


    “She’s awake! Quick, help her up and pour her some water,” a familiar female voice said worriedly.


    Almost immediately, someone helped her up and held a cup of something warm to her mouth.


    Sasha was as exhausted as if she had been run over by a truck. Her throat and mouth were also drier


    than a desert, so she began taking huge gulps from the cup in front of her.


    After she finished drinking the water, she finally began to look at her surroundings.


    “W-what’s this?”


    “You fainted. When we came down, Ed-he was focused on helping me and Jaena, and he forgot to


    watch you, so you bumped your head pretty hard against the wall. Are you feeling a bit better now?”


    Sabrina was standing in front of her and was looking at her worriedly.


    Sasha finally came back to her senses.


    After shaking her head lightly to clear it, she looked around her dim surroundings.


    As she looked around, she slowly felt more and more surprised.


    Once she got used to the dim lighting, she noticed how huge this ce was. They were in a huge cave


    that seemedpletely well-equipped with everything they could have needed. Even the water that


    Sasha had just drunk came from a steaming kettle on a table not far off.


    What’s going on?


    Stunned, she asked, “Where is this? Why does it look like someone’s house?”


    Edmund nodded. “Someone probably has lived here before, but it seems as if they haven’t been here


    for a long time.”


    He pointed at the dusty furniture ced not far away. On the in wooden bed, Jaena was fast asleep


    with a nightstand next to her.


    Sasha looked at themp closely and was surprised yet again.


    It was an electricmp, not a gas or oilmp like she expected.


    She searched around the cave, trying to see if there was somewhere they could escape from.


    “Sasha, why did that monk throw us in here? Also, when you asked him to open the door, did you


    already know what was going on?”


    “Yes,” Sasha murmured in response as she wandered through the cave.


    Sabrina immediately asked urgently, “Then what’s going on? Please tell me. Did something happen out


    there?”


    Sabrina was usually slow on the uptake, but even she had finally realized something was up.


    Sasha told her as simply as possible, “Something probably did happen. Your brother’s n has already


    been put into action. That old monk was probably afraid that Louis’ subordinates woulde after us,


    so he sent us down here to keep us safe.”


    “What?” Sabrina asked, her face pale. “Since we’ve been hidden away here, is something going to


    happen to the old monk? Louis isn’t the nicest person. He’s going to do something to them, isn’t he?


    Also, if it’s already dangerous in a ce like that, isn’t it worse for my brother? He’spletely alone


    now. If Louis goes insane and decides to hunt him down, what’s going to happen then?”


    “That’s why we have to find an exit as soon as possible so we can escape, all right?”


    Sasha was getting fed up and quickly chased Sabrina away to look for an escape route.


    Sabrina fell silent, clearly annoyed as well, but Edmund walked over and immediately pulled her away.


    “Let’s not talk to her for now. She’s probably more worried than anyone about your brother. Let’s find an


    exit so we can leave as soon as possible.”


    “I wasn’t trying to worry her,” Sabrina said with a pout before going with Edmund to look for an exit.


    Their main priority was definitely to escape. Hiding here was their safest bet, but what would happen to


    the people outside trying to protect them?


    The old monk, the whole temple, as well as Sebastian.


    No one dared to think about the others and merely focused on finding even the smallest crack that they


    could escape from.


    However, there was a thin corridor further into the cave that opened up into an even bigger cave.


    “What is this ce?” Sabrina marveled.

    They weren’t just amazed at the sheer size of the cave, but also the rows and rows of metal shelves


    that had wooden boxes piled on each one.


    What’s that? Sabrina’s curiosity got the better of her and she scurried toward the boxes.


    Their noses were assaulted with a damp, rotting smell the moment they opened one of the boxes.


    Lying in the box right was some tattered,pletely rotten clothes.


    “W-why are there clothes here?”


    Sabrina pinched her nose in disgust as she red at the tattered pieces of clothing.


    Sasha didn’t really mind and walked over, poking at them gingerly. “This looks like…”
