What we read in the shadows

Lady Fluffy had returned to the castle, she was on a balcony of one of the multiple rooms when she saw Dante walking on the main road with resolve. His steps were so strong she felt a chill to see him in such a way. Once he got close, the pirate stopped himself for a moment, he was not reassured to pass the main doors, knowing that Teddy would be here, somewhere in the shadows ready to strike him at any moment. 

Fortunately for him, an undead servant joined him, speaking in an incredibly slow and emotionless voice, "Yeeeeeeees?" 

Dante raised an eyebrow in surprise but quickly came back to his senses, "I need to see the prince."

"The zombie turned and waved his hand for Dante to follow. When they walked together to the entrance of the castle, Dante saw that not only Teddy was waiting in the bushes to devour him but there were many many other creatures hidden. Dante was led to the throne room, the place was empty and he had to wait alone without instructions.
