969 Chapter 969: Plan stays
Karyk walked through the dimly lit streets of the City, thinking about ways to enter the inner city.
He had an ability that could turn him invisible. He had even used that ability in Elzeira, but he was not certain if this was going to work in front of the Guards here.
He was quite curious about the identity of the person who wrote this book. How did that person not only manage to enter the Inner City but also steal something and return without being caught.
As he made his way towards the Inner City, Karyk couldn't shake off the feeling that time was running out. The Prince's birthday was tomorrow, and with the Archangels expected to attend, the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
As he approached the entrance to the Inner City, Karyk's gaze focused on the guards stationed there. He had memorized the positions of the guards from the stolen map, and now he needed to find a way to get past them without raising suspicion.
He knew that a direct approach would be useless, as the guards were likely to recognize him as an outsider.
With his mind working quickly, he formulated a plan. He decided to use his ability to create illusions to test if this skill worked on the guards.
With his illusion, he created a young child who ran towards the city entrance. The Guards quickly turned towards the child and warned him that he was not allowed to
enter.
"So they can see the illusion and think that it's real. It might be easier than I thought."
Karyk disguised himself as a member of the Royal Palace guards, one who had escorted the Carriage previously.
With guards constantly changing positions at regular intervals, it was quite unlikely for these guards to know if that person had left the inner city or not.
Taking a deep breath, Karyk activated his aura and focused on creating the illusion. Slowly, his appearance began to change, morphing into that of a different guard. Once he was satisfied with the illusion, he approached the guards with confidence. The guards simply watched him walk past them and did not try to stop him. He was a little surprised that he was able to enter the inner city this easily.
'No wonder people are already planning to infiltrate the Royal Palace. Their security is not good enough.'
With their attention diverted, Karyk passed through the gates of the Inner City, his illusion holding up.
Inside the Inner City, Karyk navigated the bustling streets. The place looked very similar to what he had seen in the future.
The only difference was that it was not abandoned anymore. It still looked like a proper city, unlike the ghost city from the future
In another part of the city, a tense meeting was underway.
Slam~
With a resounding slam, a man forcefully brought his palm down on the table, his anger visible on his face.
"You lost the map, and you're just informing me now?!"
"I thought I could find it, so I didn't mention it earlier. But it seems to have vanished.
I suspect it has been stolen," another person responded, showing no remorse in their demeanor.
"You fool! Do you realize the consequences if the map falls into the hands of the Guards and they become more vigilant? If it reaches the Royal Family, our entire plan will crumble!"
"I have conducted some research, and as of now, it appears that the guards are unaware. Their positions remain unchanged, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a trap. Should we consider canceling the plan?" A feminine voice spoke up, filling the
hall.
"We cannot afford to delay the plan any longer. Tomorrow is the brat's birthday, and we must execute our mission tonight! Although it carries inherent risks, we still have to infiltrate the palace."
"Remember, our main objective is the death of the Prince! If he survives, the Divine Will may..." The man's sentence trailed off, his words hanging in the air, marking everyone's faces go dark.
"Even if it is a trap, we need to kill the Prince. Even if we have to die in the process, we must! Remember, the Angels are with us. But if we fail, the consequences would be worse than death!"

"The Prince is sleeping early tonight. Don't disturb him," a young servant told the guards outside the Prince's room.
He did not want anyone to check the room and find out that the Prince was not there at all. After making sure that no one was going to check, the disguised Prince walked away from the room.
He had only one goal. It was to leave the palace and see the beautiful city. This way, he could prove to everyone that he was old enough to leave the Palace safely. The young prince had to walk through a lot of intersections that were heavily guarded. At every turn, he was careful to not reveal any flaw.
He did not want to come across anyone that knew this servant and wanted to talk to him. He didn't want to expose any flaws. Fortunately, he only came across guards
who were more focused on protecting the Palace than anything else.
"Why are you here? Who is watching over my son?"
Just as the young prince was about to reach the stairs, he heard a woman's voice. He could never forget this voice as this was his mother's voice.
He was almost covered in sweat, worried about getting exposed. Still, he tried his hardest to not reveal any flaw.
He had seen his servant talk before his mother. He might not know how to act in front of this servant's friend, but he definitely knew how to act before his mother.
"The Prince fell asleep earlier tonight."
"Was he angry?" The Queen asked, lowering her head. Even she felt sad when her son
was angry at her.
"He did not say anything, but most probably he was sad. He should be better when he wakes up."
"I hope so. You can leave."
The Queen walked past the Prince, without even realizing that it was him.
The young prince quickly reached the stairs and rushed to leave the palace.
