Armel is speeding through the silent battlefield in the castle as blood and corpses leave a trail behind him. His assassins do a good job at finishing the jobs behind him without making a mess. No one is alarmed.
It doesn't take half an incense stick for him to reach the palace hall. No one is there.
"Has he escaped?"
Armel doesn't answer his general and simply walks confidently to a corner of the throne room.
A bunch of idiots. He grew up in this palace, there is nowhere to hide.
He takes the blood off his sword and uses it as ink to trace the secret code. Usually, ink is enough but he doesn't have any at hand.
MONFORT
The code is soon clear as day written on the sky blue walls. Monfort is where his mother was from. His father loved her dearly and created this passage for her just in case her life is in danger. But it didn't save her life in the end.
