968 Chapter 968: Stolen item
Karyk searched through the entire house that supposedly belonged to him.
Qien waited outside the house, keeping guard. Many times, he thought about running away while he had the opportunity.
Even though Karyk hadn't killed him yet, he knew that it was only a matter of time. Still, where could he even run? He could only try to run to the Inner City, but he wasn't going to be allowed in.
In his eyes, Karyk was also from the inner city. So even if he managed to enter that place, he was not safe. He could try to approach the guards, but without knowing the identity of this person, it was also useless.
He had already made a mistake by underestimating this person. He did not want to make the same mistake again. If the guards were also working with him, then what? He didn't want to test this theory.
Instead, he decided to rely on Karyk. If he did everything as Karyk asked and showed that he was harmless, maybe he might survive. At least that's what he believed.
"I really shouldn't have left home today," he sighed, seemingly tired as he stood with his back resting against the wall.
"But why did he have to ask me about his house? Shouldn't he have known his own house? Whatever, it's not my place to question it."
Outside, Qien was talking to himself. And inside the house, Karyk was searching for something all around the house.
He had roughly learned from Qien that he had stolen a scroll. But even after searching most of the house, he failed to find anything resembling a scroll.
"Where did this guy hide it? Why make it so difficult?" Karyk pondered out loud after finishing the entire search.
"Hmm? That..."
As he was cursing the thief, he noticed a small crack in the otherwise very decent wall.
He walked closer to the wall and touched the crack. The place looked like it was recently repaired, but still a crack was left. It was as if the person who did it wanted to leave a mark behind.
Karyk created a knife with his aura and stabbed it in the crack. With the knife, he started taking the wall apart while being extremely careful to not damage the scroll if it was there.
Soon, he found a small compartment in the wall that was hidden behind a newly created wall plaster.
"He must be really tired today. To think he slept so early."
The servant confirmed. However, just as he was about to close the door, he felt someone grab his wrists.
He was pulled inside the room. Before he could react, he felt someone tying his hands.
"P-Prince, what are you...." The servant was stunned to see the person as it was none other than the Prince.
He tried to free himself, but he couldn't. Even though the Prince was young, he was very talented in miracles.
"I am going out on a walk. Stay in this room until I return." The young prince told the servant, dragging his body towards the bed.
"Mmm! Mmmmm!" The Servant could not even speak as his mouth was also tied. "Don't worry. I will free you when I return. And I will also heavily reward you!"
After throwing him in the bathroom, the Prince closed the door. He took a deep breath, before starting a transformation.
His body started growing and his clothes also changed to the clothes that the young servant was wearing.
"It is good that I didn't tell my mother about this ability. Or she would have
strengthened security even more."
The prince had completely transformed into a servant before stepping out of the
room.
"The Prince is sleeping. Don't disturb him tonight as tomorrow is a big day for him." He told the guards in the corridor as he left.
