Bab 169: Snooping Around

The corridors of the Ivory Palace were so quiet it was like even the dust was holding its breath. Vyan, disguised as Katelyn's knight, trailed behind her as she led him through the forgotten corners of the palace.

"The security here is non-existent," Vyan muttered, noting the lack of guards anywhere near them. They had all been stationed outside.

"That's because Izac treasures his privacy," Katelyn replied.

Vyan snorted. "Shame the same can't be said for your eldest brother." Exploring the Aurora Palace felt like navigating through an obstacle course, thanks to the guards placed at every turn. It was almost like Easton was paranoid that everyone around him was trying to kill him. Well, perhaps, that was the case.

Vyan and Katelyn continued to pass by empty rooms, each more nondescript than the last, until they entered one that made Vyan pause. He suddenly remembered spotting a blank space on the palace blueprints near this room.
