In the secret chamber, Hert the Ursus King glanced at Merlin. For some reason, Merlin had always felt that his glance seemed to hold other meanings.
"Deputy Team Leader Leon, I believe Iza has briefly explained to you the mission this time?"
Hert asked calmly.
"She has but there are still many areas I'm unclear about. For instance, what is it about the White Rajah that leaves us no choice but to kill him?"
Merlin questioned. He believed that even if he did not ask, Hert would tell him anyway.
"It's simple. The White Rajah has taken something he shouldn't have. He has killed a descendant of the royal family who possessed a key that was cast in gold. It's very eye-catching. You just have to retrieve that key from the White Rajah. You can pick four team members – how's that?"
"Key?"
Merlin saw that Hert was unwilling to explain further. This was linked to the royal family's secrets.
