Sylvia's POV:
I went downtown to watch an art exhibition. Around noon, I made an excuse to sneak away from Maya and the guard so I could slip into a black cloak.
Maya and the guard were in queue outside a popular shop to buy drinks and freshly baked cakes for me. They wouldn't be able to come back in a short while.
Still, I had to be quick and return as soon as possible. Rufus particularly chose a very smart guard to accompany me. I would be in trouble if he noticed I sneaked out on them.
I dashed down an alley and found a bar that wasn't open yet.
It was daytime, so the place was still quiet.
I wrapped my black cloak tightly around my body and made sure no one followed me. Then I pushed the door open and entered.
When the wind bell at the door rang three times as I walked in, a bartender behind the counter called out, "My apologies, ma'am. We don't open until after dark."
"I know." I looked around and found that it was just like any other bar except that it was quite cramped. It looked like a place where people would go to listen to music while having a drink. But I had checked and this was the only way in to the black market in this area.
How could I exactly get in?
I looked back at the bartender and whispered, "I want to buy some magic potion. Do you have any?" "Magic potion? Only witches and wizards have it. This is a bar and we don't sell potions." The bartender looked puzzled as if I was saying something outrageous.
Impossible! How could he not know?
I frowned and was about to say something when someone seemed like the owner of the bar suddenly walked in.
