Next morning, Palace, hidden basement.
"Hmm, so the actual path to the forbidden area is from directly under the throne room… A clever tactic indeed; intruders will have a hard time finding it, and if there's people to guard, then it will be even more difficult…"
"Moreover, the person sitting on the throne would be the grade-1 mage, the elven queen; thus, even if a powerful person sneaks inside, they will be spotted easily…"
"The elves who made this structure put a lot of thought into this matter…"
Sylvia, who was walking beside Jareth downstairs into the hidden basement, nodded her head at those words.
"Well… even with all these, we can't stop the intruders if the main barrier itself has flaws and new openings have been created somewhere…"
"In case the barrier has become flawed, this path is one of the most useless ones if we look at it this way…"
Jareth felt quite amused after hearing those words.
