The fork that Chance was holding was already near his mouth, about to take a bite, when he caught a shadow from the corner of his eye. He turned his head around, but the person already vanished.
He looked around again and caught a figure climbing the stairs that lead to the upper part of the Royal Library. His eyes would not make a mistake. He clearly saw a little figure running up the staircase.
"Was that a kid?" he muttered, and the knight heard his whisper and looked in the direction that the Crown Prince was looking at.
"Your Highness?"
Chance looked at his knight, confused, and pointed at the stairs. "I think I saw a child going up the stair of the library." the Crown Prince responded.
Alec took another glance at the upper area. He has been feeling a strange presence since earlier when he was about to leave the Royal Library to call for the servants. He checked every corner and every rack but did not see any person around.
