Chapter 288: The Treasury In The Eclipse Palace (Ch.288)

Alessio walked over to the shelf, reaching for a book that stuck out slightly from between the rest.

It was the only odd thing other than the change in the position of the shelf so Alessio knew he had found the true lever.

'There was nothing he could ever truly conceal from our knowledge, we have only let him live in the deception that his will was law.'

'Those days are long gone...now, all that was Lothaire's will be ours.' Terran spurred Alessio on with a dark growl.

"It was always meant to be so." Alessio agreed.

Alessio pulled on the book and the shelf moved to the side, revealing an iron door hidden behind.

Alessio stared at the door in silence for a moment before he reached for the knob and tried to push open the door but it would not budge.

Alessio had not truly expected it to, he also knew that forcefully breaking through the door was not an option, his father would have set a fail safe measure in case of that.
