175 A Hidden Passage to the Palace (2/2)

The fact Sebe was forbidden to enter in the party inside the palace wasn't enough to give him the right to use the passage because that was his eldest brother party. The eldest prince could choose his guests in his party, but cutting the communication between Sebe and his servants inside the palace was more than enough to give Sebe a reason to enter the palace.

When Sebe started to guide Yale and Wyba, Yale contacted Shirk and ordered him to follow them, but he should be hidden behind the house walls.

The tokens of Yale and Shirk were connected, so although they didn't have any teleportation function, in a short distance Yale could use that connection to teleport easily towards him using the token as a mark point.

”Sebe, you need to believe in me if the situation turns weird.”

Sebe was startled by Yale's sudden words, but he knew that Yale wouldn't say something like that without a good plan behind. Although Sebe still didn't know what was happening, his intuition told him that there wasn't anything good.

They had walked for some minutes, and they were reaching the end of the area of the party, as for the reasons to Sebe going in that direction with Yale and Wyba, no one asked anything, they didn't dare to inquire the reasons for a prince to do something.

Usually, even guards wouldn't question the reasons for a prince doing a stroll in that area of the city, but that day was different because one guard stopped them.

”Stop right there Prince Sebe, where are you going?”

The guard who had blocked their path was a bulky man who Yale estimated that should be at about the same level that Aiwai. He could be considered one of the weakest among the lackeys of the eldest prince.

”I am just taking a stroll with my friends.”

Sebe didn't lose his calm although the situation had turned weird, a guard of his eldest brother didn't have any rights to stop him from walking around the city. Moreover, they were still far from the temple entrance; they were just reaching the limits of the party.

”You can't; you must be inside the area of the party. Return to the party and don't move around, this is an order.”

Sebe's face turned ugly. Sebe was a prince, so a mere guard even if was his eldest brother's guard didn't have any authority to give him any orders.

”You can't order me. I am a prince, and I can stroll in any place of this city.”

That time the guard's face was the one that turned ugly, he didn't expect that a kid like Sebe would dare to disobey his orders.

”You are a weakling; it didn't matter if you are a prince, you must obey me. I said that you couldn't leave and it means that you can't leave. Return to the party right now, or you will know the consequences.”

The words of that guard were enough for obtaining a death penalty, but the fact he didn't hesitate in saying those words filled Sebe's heart with fear.

At that moment he understood why Yale said that he wouldn't believe it even if Yale explained to him; the eldest prince and his lackeys had betrayed the kingdom and were planning to take the kingdom for themselves.

”Oh, you seem to have understood something. Too bad, it seems that I need to start the plan early. Now, Prince Sebe, die at my hands!”

A huge ball of fire generated at the guard's hand and directed towards Sebe's group at quick speed.

That guard had always been hot-headed and hungry for power. After turning powerful, he was unable to tolerate that others didn't obey him, which made him forget the original plan of silently cutting Sebe's neck and instead created such a huge fire attack that would announce to everyone that he was a traitor.

That would force the eldest prince and the others to start the plans earlier and added a lot of difficulty to the situation for them. The guard noticed his fault just after launching the attack, but he was unable to stop it.

After the explosion, there wasn't any remnant of Sebe, Yale, and Wyba in the floor. Moreover, all the surrounding houses were in flames, there was no way to continue hiding the situation, but without Sebe's corpse, the panic wouldn't be at the same level.

The guard knew that he might die for that failure, the eldest prince wasn't merciful; with luck, he may just be tortured for some hundreds of years instead of being killed.
