206 Chapter 206

The Royal Castle of Bright was built at the centre of Bright, unlike Nevan which was built at the far corner of the city.

Huge roads paved the way to the castle which was filled with greenery all around.

Several people were guarding the place.

Alex could sense the presence of three Epic rank knights stationed in it who seemed to have higher authority and were guarding the place.

The patrolling was quite tight and all the guards and knights were doing their duties faithfully.

Still, this force wasn’t enough to detect them.

Riya’s stealth technique was one of the superior techniques throughout the whole continent and can even mask one level.

She was trained to become a top-notch assassin and rule the underworld using her stealth and charms which could take away the lives of targets quite easily.

Most of the guards here have studied and built and could smash boulders with their fists.

Even though they looked stronger none of them had sharp senses enough to notice two shadowy figures climbing up the huge walls and rolling over the fences with their nimble cat-like movements.

Alex first searched the outer perimeter to gather any relevant information.

Paving the path, they sneaked into a thick tree.

Riya and Alex hid their figure quietly behind the canopy tree.

With the leaves and shadows hiding their figure, they took a look at their surroundings.

Alex observed the surrounding, the garden and huge building beside it reflected into his eyes.

He used a mana sensor and his hawk-like eyes to observe the strength and skill of the people.

Alex raised his brows as he stared at the huge palace which seemed to be carved with precious materials flaunting the wealth.

Inside one of the chambers guarded by an Epic rank knight, slept a man who was in a half-death state.

If that man had a health bar, it would surely start to beep with red colour.

“So, that’s the King of Bright.”

Alex removed his gaze while starting to look for the second target but his expression changed a little.

Riya noticed his expression and asked with a worried tone”Lord, did you find something.”

“Yeah!” Alex nodded and looked at the outer edge of the palace.

At the end of the outer edge, a three-storeyed house could be found whose entrance was guarded by five people dressed in black armour but rather than that he found it odd seeing a large number of people patrolling the places.

Although all of them were quite weak, thier rotten expression was quite weird.

Moreover, it was outside of the inner area and the building doesn’t seem to look as marvellous as other places.

It looked quite shady and dilapidated.

On top of that, Alex found an underground basement beneath the house and if his mana sensor is correct, that person was surely the First Prince.

“Riya, I am going to meet the first Prince. In the meanwhile, try to sneak around the king and the maids. Who knows you may find something useful?” Alex muttered and waited patiently.

He could directly teleport and jump into the prince’s palace but the Epic would surely be alerted due to the mana fluctuations.

And he would be pulled into a fight without getting any information.

Moreover, unlike Riya, he doesn’t have a good affinity with the shadow element that’s why he was finding it hard to learn Riya’s stealth technique.

Though it would take time for him to learn and master it, he wasn’t in a hurry. He had gone through worse where even basic things needed to repeat a hundred ot times for him to learn when he was taught by the Goddess Of War.

He hadn’t come here to wage a war or fight rather he came here to see whether his suspicion was correct.

He had heard rumours and even got information for his men, anyone with a little brain could infer that Edward might have a hand that led to the current situation of the King and the First Prince.

If not, he wouldn’t hesitate to turn this place into a graveyard before leaving.

The guards on the pavement who moved back and forth turned their backs.

The moment they turned their back, he jumped out of his hiding spot, landing a few steps behind him without making a noise.

Whoosh!

A strong gust of wind was generated by his big movements brushing against the back of the guard who felt that someone was behind his back.

He immediately turned his back to see who it was but Alex had already left by the time he turned.

Alex’s speed was too fast for these people to see him but if he used too much speed, the ripples created in the surroundings wouldn’t go unnoticed.

Lucas observed the people here and they seemed to have well-equipped weapons of better quality than the others.

And they also seemed to be quite rich, Alex heard them talking about patrolling there was as good as wandering around as nothing fun happens in there.

Lucas already arrived at the roof of the building within an instant and saw two people walking inside.

A maid with a tray along with a servant seemed to be well dressed.

Alex didn’t know why he felt an eerie feeling seeing both of them. It was as if both of them were involved in some sort of shady business.

Alex’s eyes twinkled as he felt like he was going to uncover the darkest secret.

Alex’s image blurred as he started to follow the cat’s tail.

Accompanied by the servant who dressed quite neatly wearing the uniform of a butler, the maid and he climbed the stairs and entered a room.

They entered a neatly arranged room and the butler walked toward the wall and slid his fingers into it, pressing his thumb on the wall.

CLICK!

A subtle clicking sound was heard followed by a small rumbling noise and the wall started to separate into two.

As the wall resided to the side, a small narrow passage appeared with stairs leading down the room which was filled with darkness.
