The revelation about the secret chamber hidden within the library left Richard with a furrowed brow and a sense of intrigue. As he listened to Adela's words, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of surprise. It appeared that even he, as the prince, had been unaware of this hidden aspect of the palace.
In the depths of his memory, Richard tried to recall any mention of a secret chamber by his mother. Yet, as far as he could remember, his mother had never spoken of such a place. The notion that his father might have created it after her death lingered in his mind, adding to the mystery that now surrounded the palace.
His fingers lightly brushed his chin as he pondered the implications. The idea of a hidden chamber within the library, one that might contain secrets of great importance, tugged at his curiosity. It was a curiosity born not just from the desire to uncover hidden truths but also from the sense of duty that came with being a prince.
