This was probably the worst idea that had come to my mind. The chances of it working were low, and it would most likely end badly, but I had no other choice.
To get down from this many floors, I would tie the sheets in the room together and climb down.
I swallowed hard and went back to Atia to explain my plan. She had rested her head against the floor, her breathing slower than before.
Seeing her like this made me want to rush to her side and check if she was alright, but getting closer would be dangerous. So I spoke to her from a few meters away.
"Atia, I'm going down. I know you can't but even if you can somehow, don't open the door for anyone, and wait for me here."
She tried to lift her head slightly but failed. Then she turned a little toward me and spoke.
"My… my lady, I can't allow you to do something so dangerous…"
Her voice was faint and strained. Even in this state, the fact that she was still worrying about me was proof of her loyalty.
