"I wonder when His Majesty will return to Euphorion?" he said as he kept walking along the corridor. They had received the news about Euphorion's victory over Zephyrus and Draconis. Also, the news that Princess of Zephyrus would come as a 'guest'. Without further explanation, they understood what Angel meant was a political prisoner. Although they were angry after remembering it was Zephyrus royal family's poison that destroyed their hometown and took their only family, Angel had explained what happened, especially how Asteria tricked the Heart Family. Therefore, though there was a bitter taste in their hearts, they could understand that they had already bore the grudge on the wrong side. But of course, this was confidential information.
"Maybe in a month or so?" she tried to guess.
"Claire, have you heard the last scary rumour?"
"Tell me," she said in disbelief. Claire always kept her ear on all information and rumours especially if it related to Angel and the castle, that's why she didn't believe Cley's words.
"The guards said they had seen a scary ghost recently. They believe it is King Xenos' ghost," he whispered in a made-up voice. His face looked serious.
"I know you're lying," she said straight to the point.
"I'm serious!" he tried to convince her. He swept around his gaze once again before returning it to her.
"I heard that the ghost sometimes appear on cloudy nights like this. He wore a bloody Euphorion uniform and covered his face with a hood. They said it was because he was ashamed of his defeat with King Angelus," Cley continued to ramble on.
"Stop your nonsense. You read too many horror stories," she said irritably.
"The guards said the ghost tapped them on the shoulder several times and said ..." He put on a scared face.
"Help me ... To regain my throne ..."
"What ---" Before Claire could finish her words, her eyes widened in shock and her face turned pale as a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Cley. From the dim light, she could see the bloodstain on the uniform white list, as well as the blood on the lower half of the figure's face. While the rest of his face was covered by a hood.
"Cley ... Behind you ..." Although Cley and Claire were used to seeing corpses since Angel used to kill some assassins who tried to kill him in the early days of his reign, a ghost was another thing.
Seeing Claire's reaction, Cley thought she was trying to scare him.
"Do you think I ---" His words stopped as a tap landed on his shoulder. In an instant, a chill rushed over Cley's back as he could feel someone standing behind him. He glanced on a hand that was covered in the black glove on his shoulder. Even though the glove was black, he could tell it was soaked in blood from the smell.
"Help me to ---"
"Your Majesty?" They said in confusion. They narrowed their eyes, focusing on the man in the elite Euphorion uniform in front of them.
"Yes, it's me. Who else?" He had appeared in front of them using his teleport skill and there shouldn't be anyone who could break through the White Moon Castle with that skill except him.

Why go all the way back to Euphorion? I am sure he would be able to get all of that in the other castle, too. He would use up less energy since it should be closer (right?).
There was no one he trusted in Scarlet Stone Castle. Meanwhile Frost was busy taking care of castle security (because he thought the rebels would also try to kill King Eudon). So it was better for him to return to his castle. The other,you will read it in the next chap.
It was nice, thank you for the chapter?
Thanks for the chapter!
