Watching the guards leave, the people in the outer city sighed in relief. Finally they were leaving.
The entire street was completely empty and only the guards could be seen there, escorting the Prince back.
The guards were on high alert, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any potential threats. The Prince walked with confidence, his grip on Karyk's hand never weakening.
The King was interrogating the intruder when he was informed that the Prince had been found.
"Good. I am also done here. Get rid of the body."
The King turned around and stepped out of the cell, where only a body could be seen, hanging while most of the skin had been peeled out.
Inside the palace, the King awaited their arrival for the Prince. His face was stern, his eyes piercing as he observed the Prince and Karyk enter the room.
The Head Servant stepped forward, bowing respectfully before addressing the King.
