Chapter 239: Another Presence (2)

Just as the three of them were told, Monica led them towards the guest room that was connected to the back of the palatial building. They kept their conversation mild and acted as though they never sensed anything suspicious.

A figure draped in all black stood at the corner, monitoring them. With its black cloak hiding its face, its glinting red eyes appeared more vicious as it continued to follow them with silent steps, but upon reaching the back of the building, the figure stopped in its tracks.

Noticing the armored guards that stood not too far from where his victims were entering, with clenched fist, the figure could only watch them step into a room, and the door closed shut after that with three armored guards guiding the place. 

"Deodamnatus!" The figure cursed in a strange Latin word through its teeth before retreating back, refusing to let itself get spotted by the guards. Its red eyes closed shut before it vanished into the darkness.
