Chapter 77

~Talfen, the capital of Coldshore~

~The City Square, Hall of Statues~

Andras straightened up when Prince Cederic came rushing out of the Hall of Statues like he was being chased, not to mention, the Crown Prince was all alone.

His eyes narrowed when he caught the telltale bruise on his face, Prince Cederic heading straight to the coachman to order that he unsaddle a horse from the carriage so that he could ride back to the Royal Palace.

This piqued Andras' interest even more, what could have possibly happened in the short time that they spent in there that would cause this sort of outcome? He barely stayed to watch Prince Cederic ride off in a haste, half running up the stairs in his hurry to get inside the Hall of Statues.

The throne room was empty but he remembered how to get to the inner room where the statues were kept, so without slowing down, he went straight there, listening intently for any odd sounds as he went down the hallway.
