Shin observed the two as he walked forward. He did not know who the hooded figure was, but he was sure that the one sitting on the throne should be the king who was recently killed during the assassination.
It seemed like the fallen king had become a corrupted undead after his death given the dense dark miasma coming from his body.
As Shin observed them, the two were also watching him closely, especially the cloaked individual. That person slightly raised their head to have a clearer look at Shin under the shade of his hood.
When Shin was about to reach a couple of meters away from the door of the room, the cloaked individual took a step forward, seemingly planning to face Shin on his own.
But he just took a single step when the fallen king raised his left hand and stopped him. The hooded figure turned to the side and looked at the king. They then nodded their head and took a step back while bowing.
