章 107: Still the same

"Your father awaits your presence." The guard bowed low to the ground, "if you don't mind, my prince, I can escort you there."

Though the guard tried to put up a brave front, I can tell how scared he was. He looked as if he wanted to be at any place but here at this moment.

Not only does Storm's reputation precede him, but the blood on his face and his wrapper are enough to send a mere man running for cover.

I thought he will refuse, so he could return and clean the blood from his face, and body. But he surprised me by asking the man to lead the way, in a not-so-friendly tone.

With shaky knees, the man rose from the ground, turned and headed towards the right, away from the stairs Storm intended to take.

I thought we were entering the rooms, but he surprised me by going forward down a hall you wouldn't have seen had he not been the one leading.

The hall is behind a pillar, completely hidden, making it seem like there is nothing in the pillar.
