Haze and Adam shared a look and they turned to look behind them at Hermes as he walked gingerly down the stairs.
"I guess we should follow him", Haze said.
"Why?", Adam asked.
Haze looked him, was the boy retarded? Because the monarch's bedroom is on the bottom floor.
"Oh right", Adam said.
Haze shook his head and went down the stairs, Adam closely on his heels.
When they got to the bottom floor, Haze looked around.
There were exactly nine rooms on the floor and Hermes hadn't told them how to find the monarch's own.
As he stepped forward, he noticed that the hallway was devoid of any movement.
Usually, there would be guards near the ruler's bedroom but there were none here.
Haze shrugged. It was by that means they had to check each room one by one.
"Let's split up", He told Adam. "You check the ones on the right, I check the ones on the left".
"Okay", Adam replied. "But doesn't one thing concern you?".
