After gently rifling through his table and drawers, the person searched the room, all the while Atrox continued to breathe normally as if he were indeed asleep.
"...But wait... How did a spy as weak as this manage to sneak in? They must be part of the staff or something close to that..."
He wasn't surprised that there was a spy among his staff. In fact, he would be more surprised if there were none. What surprised him most was that they were willing to come directly into the commander's quarters.
"...Is this because of the sleeping gas that's not working on me? Is that where their confidence comes from?..."
Suddenly, the person stopped searching and instead turned toward the bed. Atrox stopped himself from tensing as he felt someone loom above him.
Then he heard an amused voice. It was feminine and low. "I know you are not asleep. Stop pretending."
