Out of the window, there was a large seven feet translucent spider. This shocked him because he suddenly remembered something that surprised him, he had only ever seen these spiders in the royal study.
You say how he was allowed inside? Of course, he wasn't invited there or interested in studying about them he just happened to pass by and that particular page happened to be opened and he took a look out of pure curiosity...
The royal study is prohibited to use for anyone except the royal family he just went in to steal the book of Spells which was in demand for auction in the auction house.
Of course, as a skilled thief, he was comfortably able to go in and out of not only the royal palace of wind kingdom but many other places...the exclusive nightmare of civil guards.
But not once was he caught, he just got chased a few times like now when he went to steal the elve's sword.
He is excelled at tricks using spells and use of formations and he grew up with some assassins, so you can say he has some skills.

What surprised his was, how can that spider be here. It should've been, because they disappeared thousand years ago.
He was brought out of his daze when the man behind him spoke "You've made me wait long enough.....Vance" His lips turned slightly upwards in the dark where no one can see His voice was husky and a little hoarse seemed like he hadn't spoken for years now.
Vance's eyes widened in surprise. he wanted to ask how did he know his name and but first he had to get out of his hold, he used his magic.
Then he noticed that he cannot use his magic! this man blocked his mana. "Shit! how can I be so careless!?.." Thinking this Vance wanted to struggle but the man pressed close behind him close, too close! and bent just right next to his ears, as he spoke his warm breath brushed past his ears making him shiver surprisingly. "Shhhh..... Don't move, it's still there... "
Vance stopped struggling and looked in the direction of the window.
The seven feet translucent spider who had been ignored all the time waited a little more but suddenly it just turned around and went it's way. Not caring about the sweet delicacy it left behind but it was running for its life! who knows where he suddenly felt suppressed and suffocated.
It was just happy to come out alive and would probably never go back there again....
Vance here was a little dumbfounded at the reaction from the spider, stunned he didn't notice that someone behind him seems to silently enjoy this sight, and his every action.
Thie translucent spider was an ancient beast who was highly sensitive and conscious about its territories. Its hearing was also very sensitive, that's why it preferred to live in quiet places, and this huge spider got annoyed easily. This spider was a very dangerous beast as handling it was a problem.
These spider's poison was able to absorb the magic which then absorbed the blood and flesh of its caster and then corroded its blood and flesh, which was why it was difficult to deal with it.....
but this doesn't seem, right? it left just like this!?
