At midnight, the temperature in the imperial capital city of the Yu Empire was still hot and humid.
Unable to sleep, a five-year-old boy opened his eyes. Slowly getting up from the bed, he looked at his parents, who were fast asleep beside him.
Too hot to go back to sleep, the boy climbed down from the bed, trying his best not to wake his parents.
After successfully getting out of bed, he tiptoed toward the door. Holding his breath, the boy unlocked the door, then pushed it open.
Creak~!
In the middle of the night, the soft creaking sound was amplified multiple times.
Startled by the sound, the boy froze on the spot, then slowly turned to look at the bed. Seeing that his parents were still in a deep sleep, he let out a sigh of relief.
The boy waited for a while before pushing the door again. This time, he did it more carefully.
Creak…!
