Chapter 60: Unexpected Encounter
>>Ariston
The moon, which was an off-white neon ring hung low in the sky, its pale glow spilling over the duke’s property like a ghostly shroud. Shadows stretched long across the cobblestone paths and manicured gardens, and the night air was thick with the scent of damp earth. I moved quietly as my eyes scanned for anything out of place.
I kept thinking about the princess and I couldn’t help but think it has something to do with Crown Prince Reagan. She refused to visit him even though he’s family. Fine, I guess that can be put aside considering she wasn’t feeling well but when he did visit her in her room, she seemed to have gotten paler.
And at the party, many humans simply ignored us by saying they have no idea what happened, but I feel like they know.
How is it that no one noticed when the Princess was taken away. Someone has to be lying.
I clenched my fists.
I should have been more careful.
But if no one was lying, then whoever Aelin went with used concealment magic. Magic and mages are rare. The common people don’t possess much mana, so they rarely ever learn magic. To possess magic means you have a rare ability. Other than the royal family, the mages of the magic tower are strong magicians.
Hmmm
Prince Reagan’s assistant is a mage...
I kept walking. Since it was late, almost everyone had retired to their room and the place looked empty. I did spot a demon servant or two on night duty but that was all.
