Chapter 22 - Where Are You Going?

Flash!

“Wh-What? That’s…!”

“Ugh, so bright!”

Light poured out of the annex from the space where Ian was supposed to be.

Everyone, even Karan, couldn’t close their open mouths as they stared at that place.

“What? What happened?”

Everyone was distracted by the sudden light.

But only one person.

Karan’s eyes couldn’t stop shaking.

‘That direction… It can’t be!’

The problem was not the light but the direction it was coming from.

That direction pointed to the most central part of the annex. There was only one room there, the exact place where Ian was trapped underground.

And there was nothing in the room to shine like that, be it a magic tool or anything else.

Then, there’s only one possibility.

‘Don’t tell me he had unraveled the secret of that place?’

But that was the only possible reason.

In the end, Karan could only grit his teeth as he recalled what he had done.

‘Damn it. I shouldn’t have locked the prince there…!’

Of course, it was not yet clear whether Ian had unlocked the secret there.

All that was coming out of the annex now was light. There was no proof yet that Ian had gained anything from there.

Still, Karan was sweating in a cold sweat with his brows furrowed.

‘I have to check first. And if, by any chance, the prince did obtain the power there…’

He had to retrieve it somehow.

As Karan was about to run toward the annex with those thoughts.

The Second Prince, who saw Karan’s expression, smirked.

He said his brother was hiding in fear.

The Second Prince was skeptical, but now he looked at the annex with a decisive look.

“Looks like my little brother is doing something very cute to greet his older brother.”

“!”

The Second Prince immediately took a step.

And the direction he was headed for was where the light burst out!

Karan was panicked.

He couldn’t show the secret of the castle to the royal family. It could have been taken away.
