Chapter 139: Under the bed?
[Nether Eye Activated.]
Vritra used the third eye as he scanned the king’s room from outside, while Yasmine was also checking up if it was safe to go inside. After a few seconds, they both didn’t find any kind of problem.
"I think it is fine to go inside now. I can only sense the presence of a single person in there," Yasmine said.
Vritra nodded as he deactivated the Nether Eye. He couldn’t see completely through the darkness; the sight was a bit blurry, probably because of some treasure.
"It being so empty just makes me a bit nervous. Why isn’t there any guard or something there?" Vritra wondered out loud. Even though he had killed two of them, there should be more, right?
Just then, he noticed that at the door, a guard from one of the borders of the kingdom had arrived with important news related to demons. But the people guarding the door just wouldn’t let him enter, saying:
"For one day the king can’t meet anyone. He had ordered us to not let anyone inside, no matter how serious the matter is. He is in some kind of meditative state."
"One of our borders was breached by the demons! I have to tell the king about this, or the nasty demons would be upon us all in no time. This kingdom is in danger—just let me enter," the guard from the border said, but he wasn’t allowed to enter in the end.
Vritra found it a bit strange. He had seen the king during the day, and he was in such great mood; he wondered what all of this was about after all.
"Well, let’s just go inside, borrow the ring and leave," Vritra thought as he took a deep breath and passed through the room’s wall, putting a mask over his face—just in case.
After entering the room, he came out of the Fourth Dimension and landed softly on the floor. Without wasting a moment, he looked around once again and saw that the room was filled with treasures and jewels.
