Chapter 1298: An Entrapped Pirate

In normal times, the Palace of Sourna was hard to infiltrate. That was because of the force field surrounding the palace and the armies that could be summoned at a moment's notice. However, the armies were sent to Levan Island—a plan foiled by Arthur Netherborne—and had yet to return. At the same time, the sand thieves attacked, disabling the force field and throwing the palace into disarray. These ideal circumstances allowed another figure to infiltrate the palace.

A figure walked through the shadows of the palace, unseen by the guards and passing through the battles taking place. This figure also noticed Diana rushing through the palace to save the sand thieves, providing even more distraction. Their presence inside the palace went unnoticed until the battle between Rolan and Diana blocked their path forward.
