Just like any other day in the Royal Palace, it was boring yet tiresome for the life of a shadowguard to be stationed here.
Rarely does anything ever happen to or in the Royal Palace, but despite that, the shadowguards are required to observe everything with alertness while keeping themselves hidden in plain sight.
At this moment, the shadowguard stationed to keep watch over the Outer Palace was yawning from the top of a building not far from Violet Plum Courtyard.
Suddenly, an invisible forced tugged at him and the shadowguard became alert once. There was no one on the building top except him.
"Who's there? Is it time to rotate shifts already? You better not be playing a prank on me." The shadowguard said to seemingly no one.
The invisible force came again, but stronger, causing the shadowguard's body to slide a bit towards the edge.
"Oi, oi, cut it out. This is not funny!"
