Chapter 208

• Lohan didn’t take long to return. I jumped out of bed as soon as I saw the door open. He was carrying some papers and writing materials in his hand, and two of his guards followed close behind, each with a stack of books in their arms. They left the books on one of Lohan’s tables and then left with their heads down, completely ignoring my presence. I couldn’t help but think that Lohan had forbidden them from spying on me, unlike the servants who, when they came, always found a way to look at me.
• “Books? What’s in them?” I approached excitedly, picking one up. But as soon as I opened it, I felt a pang of disappointment. No wonder Lohan couldn’t read, since the writing here was completely different from that of my world. “Confusing…”
• I couldn’t see a logical pattern for the variety of symbols in front of me. I turned the pages hoping to find at least one illustration that could serve as a reference, but I didn’t find any.
