Chapter 10 - Phantom in the Morning

It was six-thirty when David stopped his bike in front of the main gate of the palace. It and the gate were locked with four triggers. So he rode up to the small gate through which he had entered the property at night. The lock, of course, was still broken, so he didn't even need to use a spare set of keys. He opened the gate and started working on the mechanism. After a few minutes, he decided that there was no way out, and it was necessary to replace more than just the spring. He will have to ask Meiden if he wishes to have a blacksmith make a copy of the old lock, or does he prefer something newer, harder to break into?
