The Royal Palace was still heavily guarded in the latter half of the night.
A figure was stealthily and cautiously moving through the palace... Yiben, the real Yiben.
He touched the back of his neck, feeling an intense pain—he couldn't quite remember what had happened, only that after waking up, he found himself hiding in a large water jar. The fake princess, who had entered the palace with him, along with two other individuals, were nowhere to be seen.
What exactly happened?
Yiben was completely in the dark, but he vaguely felt he had missed out on many things—especially since the palace guards seemed extremely tight.
Fortunately, he was wearing a guard's uniform at the moment.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a deep voice came from behind... Yiben was startled, and his body became stiff. He swallowed before slowly turning around.
Six royal guards, weapons in hand, were patrolling and happened upon him. They noticed Yiben's suspicious demeanor.
