Chapter 136: Nicholas Is Investigating (2)

Nicholas eventually drew close to the castle, outside of Hastings… or at least he did it as best as he could. He instructed his soldiers to stay back and he kept himself light on his feet.

For one reason or another, he felt a tingle in his veins.  It was as if Nicholas could sense something dangerous in the castle of Duke Romanov. Even in the darkness, the crown prince saw numerous figures stationed at the outer walls of the castle. I

The prince didn't speak aloud but he wondered why there were so many men stationed to guard the castle. It was not unusual for a wealthy noble family to have their own garrison.

However, this castle here had way too many guards. And the crown prince could feel that something was off.  Nicholas had a couple of inclinations in his head as he dared to come closer.

'This Duke Romanov is hiding something in the castle and does not wish for the people in Hastings to discover it.' 

'He obviously wants to keep people away.'
