Glory Hunt's

Infiltration

We ran to the palace, jumping over the roofs of buildings in all black clothes so that it was safe from the gaze of the eyes, especially when the moon was not up there, the dark without light seemed to give us the opportunity to carry out this insane mission.

Whydidyou say?

Because if all this is just speculation, of course we can lose our lives on the basis of treasonous planning against the kingdom.

But my feeling was that we would find something inside there, in this grand and grand palace that now looked so dark and creepy.

We don't have much, just 15. Each one carries a sword, that's all we'll use as a defense. We don't use any armour or chainmail because it can make noise.

Therefore, the main army was ready in the Anderson mansion, waiting for the cue to advance to attack which we hope will not happen because it can bring a big mess in the city.

Surely we will try not to involve the residents by evacuating them first, one of the reasons the camp was made.

However, there will be casualties, all we can do is minimize it and we will devote all our energy to ensure they are safe.

The journey to the palace didn't take too much time, especially since we used the roof as a way down, hiding in a small room in a narrow alley, where all the members have gathered, ready to launch a second plan, which is to infiltrate into.

Two men were assigned to spy on the palace while we were making plans.

The palace is on the highest peak of the hill so we only have two options as the entrance. Enter through the main gate or climb through the cliff and enter through the palace backyard. Both are equally dangerous.

As soon as the two men returned, they said that no one was guarding the palace gates, not even anyone was standing guard over the walls.

We all felt the more awkward, the more certain something bad was going on inside and we might face it.

"Once again, remember, no matter what happens inside the palace, information is paramount. Go as soon as you get it, never turn back. If only there was something inside, we would hold it" Celine ordered, allowing Rio, Rayven and myself to stand next to her that the soldiers disapproved of.

"How can we leave safely while you sacrifice yourself? We Anderson warriors will never leave each other! That's what you taught us, Miss Celine!" Sahut one of the soldiers who was then greeted by the cry of other soldiers.

Celine raised her hand, ordered them to stop, took a deep breath and continued, "Right, I was the one who taught that. But, did you guys forget?" He looked at the soldiers sharply.

"Sacrifice is still needed, especially in situations like now, when we have no information at all about the enemy. So, in order to make sure the information can arrive in the right hands, we must do anything, one of which is this.

You are the best soldiers Mr. Anderson, he certainly does not want to lose you, including your family who have been waiting for your return home.

As a leader, I have to give an example that Anderson's soldiers are not only reputable, but we are knights who uphold the norms of the kingdom! Knights who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the survival of the kingdom! Therefore, let's take home the information and give the kingdom victory!"

Everyone nodded loudly with passion.

Fortunately, before this, the room had been given anti-sound magic so that none of the sounds would have been heard out, otherwise we might have been caught from the beginning.

After making sure the alley was still quiet, we rushed towards the front gate that was in line with what the two soldiers had said earlier. The large and magnificent gate now seemed empty with no sign of life. There was no one there, as if this place had been abandoned long ago.

"Cold, too cold" Rayven said as he touched the iron on which a torch should have been lit.

How ironic.

From there, we went out in a room that seemed to be a large kitchen. From the view, it can be seen that the kitchen has not been used for a long time, even dust began to appear on the table.

We wandered around for a while, trying to look for signs of activity indoors, but nil. We found nothing but silence.

From here, we split up into a two-man team. Rio was with Rayven while I was with Celine and the last soldier moving on his own, what an iron-hearted person.

We split up, trying to find information as quickly as possible without attracting attention for longer, making us even more wondering.

Attention from whom?

There was no one in the palace, no servants. A place that should be crowded with people is just as lonely as a cemetery.

Feelings of unease began to creep up the heart, filling the head with various creepy images that we try to press so as not to interfere with the mission.

Celine and I went into the king's odd, unlocked workspace.

Inside, Celine rushed to search for important documents regarding the golems she had found in the forest. While I was looking for documents regarding the birth of the king's and queen's children that were quite awkward according to the soldiers. Because the day after birth, the baby disappeared before being found again in the room as if always inside.

The incident was strange, but slowly forgotten because the culprit was not found. The princess grew normal, like a royal princess, but there was always a strange feeling perched in her heart whenever she looked at the pair of green eyes.

The soldiers always felt the gaze of the princess, having no life at all, as if she was just a puppet.

The princess also rarely went out of the palace, only spending time in the room unless there was an important event accompanied by Mr. Anderson who was ordered directly by the king to keep their daughter remembered Mr. Anderson was the strongest knight in the kingdom and also an old friend of the King.

That's one of the reasons Mr. Anderson also felt that something was wrong and decided to check secretly, but was unable to move freely because he always felt being watched by something, making him undo the intention.

It's much better to keep close eye than not have access to information at all.

Unfortunately, he still found nothing while guarding the princess, as if everything was well planned.

"I found it" Celine suddenly said, holding a plain document without royal insignia "I don't know why, but this document emits the same energy as the green light I found in the cave"

Hurriedly he opened it, finding the same image of a creature as the golem. Then look at the writing to the left of the picture "This.. I don't know what this is"

"It is the Geotran, the writings of our predecessors"

That sound..

"Mrs. Anderson!"
