Dorian POV.
I managed to fool Kael's trusted Beta. It was quite difficult at first, as he had strong energy and a suspicious gaze, but I was finally able to convince him that I was just a new servant who was innocent and a little stupid, too afraid to be in the forbidden area.
Although I hadn't managed to enter his private room yet, I already knew where it was. I just needed to go back there and make sure my big plan this time worked.
I lay down on the bed in the male servants' rest area. The atmosphere here was brutal: a large, stuffy room filled with single beds crammed together without partitions. The smell of sweat, rotten wood, and food scraps filled the air. I chose the bed in the most hidden corner. I only needed a few hours of rest to recover the energy I would use to sneak out
