"Alaric, it is time to go." The princess' voice drifted into his ears.
Alaric turned his head and nodded to Irish. "Alright. Let's go."
The princess took him to the top floors of the castle using a secret passage known only to the members of the imperial family and a few of their trusted subordinates.
"Do not release your mana. There are many powerful warriors here." She reminded him with a stern look.
Alaric nodded his head. The closer they got to their destination, the more nervous he felt.
I wonder what she looks like…
According to Irish, she looks just like me and we even share the same hair color.
While he was immersed in his own thoughts, they soon reached the end of the secret passage which was a thick iron door with a few ancient locks with different mechanisms.
The princess unlocked each one with great ease.
Seeing how familiar she was with the mechanisms, Alaric guessed that she had probably used the passage quite a number of times before.
