Chapter 983: The trace of the regent (1/2)

Slowly, they reached a very secluded hallway. Sasha raised her eyebrows as she appears on this hallway.

Even Sasha did not know that there exists such a hallway. The door seems to be medieval like design, with brass like material coating the door.

No, she thought to herself.

The door is made from the brass-like material. Lukas look at the room and he heaved a sigh of relief

Sasha notices this and asked him

'What are you relieved about?' Lukas did not answer her question immediately as he seems to search for something inside his pocket.

After ruffling his pocket for a few second he brought out a silver key.

Lukas then answer her question.

'I fear that the room would change position after the world expansion. Thankfully, other than the fact that the distance is very far from before, the door is still here. I guess I am not that bad with direction'

Sasha then thought of something.

'Is this the door of Anywhere Room?'

Hearing Sasha question, Lukas smirks and said

'Wouldn't you like to know?' Then chuckling he said

'Unfortunately, this is not the Anywhere Room' Then pausing for a second, he said

'Why are you so interested in where the Anywhere Room is? You don't see us peeking around the secrets of the Shadow Guards'

'Hmph' Sasha snorted.

'I fear what I don't know.' Lukas shakes his head and said

'I am weak. And so does most of the Keeper of the Palace. Most of them are kids. They work for the palace for a few seasons and after they had enough money, they could pursue their dreams outside of the Palace. As long as they do not meddle in the matters of the politics, the palace could easily let them go'

Sasha knows all about the Palace rules.

There is a reason why most of the people relegated to normal job like watering the plants in the gardens, cleaning the normal rooms, the miscellaneous jobs of the Palace are usually done by young Keeper of the Palace.

It is so that they would not get involved in something big.

The higher the position, the more you would be exposed about the machination of politics of the Central Court.

There are some secrets, that once you knew, you are trapped. For someone who did not mind this, they could strive to higher position.

Lukas for example had heard seen so many things, heard so many things and speak a lot in the court.

He had learned secrets that if revealed could bring a lot of harm and shock in the world.

He knows this. Which is why he is the Head Keeper of the Palace and given protection by Death Monarch.

If he tries to leave the Palace without the permission of Death Monarch, he would be dead before he could step one foot out of the large palace entrance gate.

But, if you only want some extra money, wanting some experience or wanting to protect oneself from the bitter life outside of the palace for a while, then it is not good to know too many secrets.

Then, you could never leave the Palace even if you wanted too.

This is why Lukas always said to the new recruits that did not have ambition to stay in the palace to practice the wisdom of the three monkeys

See nothing, hear nothing, speak nothing. It is a bit of variation of the see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil

In the court, if you guard your eyes and don't go around trying to see things that are not related to you, you will be alright.

But if you did not do this, you might get involved with something complicated.

And be careful about hearing the conversation between the minister of the court and the influential figures.

That also could land you into trouble.

And other than greeting and relaying messages, the keeper of the palace should not speak too much and don't get involved in the factional dispute of the court.

Just do your job and do not go out from the scope and responsibilities of your job and you would be fine.

That is the three wisdom if you don't want to get involved with the Palace for a long time.

Sasha snorted and then look at Lukas like she was scanning him and said.

'You are weak? I beg to differ' Sasha said. Lukas only shakes his head.

'It is not like whatever I said would convince you otherwise, right?' Sasha did not reply. She only reply with

'Do not think that I don't know that you are also snooping around' Lukas did not reply to this provocation.

He needs to give this envelope to her and see what she thought about it. He did not know whether what he is giving to her is a plot or a scheme.

But, he did not think that person means harm.

After all, that person had predicted all of this.

And that person even predicted that after Death Monarch returns, he would then return back to seclusion.

Of course, one of the prediction is made before the matter of the world expansion, just before that person leaves the Palace.
