"The visual confirmed two, but the Queen had to place more here This wall blinds the stroked his chin as he looked into the inky darkness behind theuards here I took ht She&039;s weak, unprotected" The King glanced at the top of the wall again The hipped his dark hair wildly around his face "Wait here," he co to ju, his slender body launched into the air like a rocket The King landed on the icy turret at the top of the wall Before juolden eyes
Celticad didn&039;t want to wait there, but he did as he was told There were a few muffled noises that were obscured by the wind When Celticad looked at the top of the wall, sharp flakes of snow fell into his eyes, but he didn&039;t look away Agitated, he felt useless waiting around, while the King went over the wall alone, but Celticad couldn&039;t ju practically flew over the icy wall and landed soundlessly on the other side A noise caught Celticad&039;s ear and he leaned closer to the wall, trying to identify the sound Next to his eye, a small fissure appeared in the white wall Celticad leaned closer, watching it spider into several directions before the wallsound Celticad stu his face as the section of wall exploded Shards of ice flew past his eyes, nearly blinding hi in the here the crack had been It gave way Caving in, the hole expanded and forh He didn&039;t wait for the air to clear Keeping his ar debris and e stood there with three dead vampires at his feet Their blackened blood soaked into the ice, staining it like ink spilled fro snapped, looking at the ground, like a door wouldopen just because he asked
"In this garden It&039;s part of the history of this place, a reason why the Queen chose it Caverns were vast in this part of the country, often stretching underground forfor a s for the entrance to a cavern" Celticad spoke with certainty as his eyes scanned the landscape
The King was tense, arden, but he didn&039;t see any way in Before they had much time to look a voice crackled to life The noise came from the communicator on one of the dead va looked at Celticad They&039;d knoas here any moment There were two posts down on this side of the palace He didn&039;t have ti&039;s mind, Celticad walked over to the va the button on the side, Celticad said so knew to be a report, but the way that it was spoken concerned hiiven a certain way, parts of it in code Celticad spoke fluently, like he&039;d done this many times before Celticad knew the Queen&039;s codes While the King didn&039;t know all of the code, he knew enough of it to recognize it when he heard it spoken
When Celticad finished, he said, "Over," and clicked the thing off, tossing it to the ground on top of the dead vale one was killed the same way - decapitation Vacant eyes were still open in shock, like they couldn&039;t believe that they were attacked
"When were you in the Queen&039;s guard?" the King asked suspiciously, ready to destroy one , not with his power
"After I was turned," Celticad replied, his voice angry
"Then, why should I trust you?" the King asked, gaze narrowing He didn&039;t expect the vampire to speak truthfully He expected lies, a faulty reason why he knew the Queen&039;s code
"You shouldn&039;t," Celticad said plainly The large va&039;s face as he spoke, not ies for his past "You&039;d be a fool if you trusted anyone Make no pretense for me, your Majesty Assume I&039;d kill you, if I had the power You&039;ll live longer" Wind whipped Celticad&039;s dark hair He stood rigid, ready for the King to attack
After a &039;s lips pulled up into a sadistic smile, "A man after my own heart"
Celticad nodded once "Exactly," he said gruffly "Now, let&039;s find that door before someone realizes we&039;re here"
