HH Chapter 12

My stomach growled, empty 6565ddf7f3 after a whole day f2f68608e7 without food. If I could ac038d15a5 see the hunger dd4bc627e8 debuff window right b6a4d1de92 now, the number beba2c67d7 would probably be 08c54ae4d3 close to zero, 545d50e616 flashing red.b00b0351cb2b05a6

I figured 0f71d7f604 Haylan was 4961a98312 no different. Or rather, he could 7658a26b06 have been starving for 0762972568 days.34bf12906aa7e994

My room was on the opposite side of the mansion from Haylan’s room. That meant opposite ends of the hallway. The usual strategy was to explore the 2nd-floor hallway and, if Haylan came out of his room, hide in the player’s room to avoid a chase.9504f566243b6406

After delivering dinner to dfba74e80e Haylan, an upgraded meal 8e2449afcb was delivered to me. It seemed the servants 2b977440e1 viewed my good deed b961f70ae9 favorably.

All the mansion 62a9021a23 servants were wary 109d4e9381 of Haylan. Their young master, unlike 22e4d1466f his outward appearance, had aa3a5456eb lived for an incredibly 0cd21c5f48 long time and was c9e9d36d52 practically an elder of b95719ebb6 the household.4f8a69dec73a0920
