“So, how do you plan on getting down there?” Ruka asked as they both stared down at the chasm.
From the map that Kaname-sama gave them, the Isaya Estate was located several hundred maybe even thousand meters below the edge of the cliff that they stood at. It was so dark down there that it looked endless to them even with their enhanced eyesight.
Akatsuki frowned and kicked a small pebble by his foot. They both listened closely for the sound of impact and it was not a short drop. He then looked at her with a crooked grin. “How do you feel about scaling the side of the cliff?”
She gave him a dry look. “I’ll consider it if you are to catch me at the bottom.”
“I’ll have to get down there first,” Kain reminded her with a small smile. He reached over and toyed with the edge of her hair. “Some rope would be nice.”
“You’ve been spending too much time in that library.” Ruka snatched back her tresses from his fingertips. “I refuse to be Rapunzel.”
“I didn’t plan on being a prince,” Kain said in amusement and with a shrug. Then he held out his hand to her. She was puzzled at his gesture. When she didn’t take it, Kain stuffed his hands into his coat pockets.
He cocked his head to the side and a twinkle appeared in his amber eyes. “Let’s go this way. I think it’s easier actually.”
