Ark didn't want to waste any time since that would only complicate things. Making use of both his stealth skill as well as his darkness magic, Ark easily slipped into the shadows and made his hasty escape with Arduin sitting tightly on his back.

They were under the orders of the third prince. Their plan was to loosen the security a little to bait the other escaped heroes into trying to rescue their friend. They didn't expect to get stumped like this when they did that though. Ark had to take it relatively easy though when he slipped past the guards in the fairly narrow hallway, even if he was borderline invisible right now, a slight mistake would lead to them exposing him.
