So... they wanted to enter Eden's palace through this door, but what did they want to do? Jolie couldn't think of an answer for a moment.
Jolie frowned slightly and pushed the door open. Torrential rain quickly soaked her sleeves and she shook off the water, opening an umbrella and stepping inside.
The rain was too heavy to see any footprints, so she didn't know if they had come in or not.
Being in Eden's territory, Jolie was still being very careful, staying vigilant at all times.
Jolie walked step by step towards the palace, heading straight for the fire exit, where a closed door blocked her way.
This was Eden's territory, so she had never been inside before, but she had seen the blueprints.
She looked around. Although it was night time already and the rain made visibility poor, she couldn't see the surroundings clearly at all. All she could hear was the sound of wind and rain.
Occasional thunder rumbled.
Jolie was on high alert as she tentatively reached out and pushed the door, slowly applying force. To her surprise, the door opened.
Just as she had stepped inside and was about to go upstairs, Claire, who was five steps up, stopped and looked back at the sound. She saw the door slowly opening.
Claire's heart started beating faster. Who else was here?
Jolie's figure came into view. In the warm yellow light, Jolie got a huge fright when she saw Claire on the stairs!
Their eyes met and both of their hearts jumped!
But Jolie quickly relaxed, realizing it wasn't Eden she had met.
Claire also secretly breathed a sigh of relief that it wasn't Eden who had come in.
They both knew very clearly that this was Eden's territory.
Claire glanced upstairs. The King and Rowan should have gone up by now. The King wasn't feeling great today, suddenly breathing a little heavily. He had taken some medicine just now and was trying hard to adjust.
