Forbidden Area

“Well, putting aside my dream of becoming a pirate, it seems that the lot of you have a very interesting plan to enter the forbidden area of the Garden of Shadows?” The King smirked as she spoke, her eyes glistening with excitement as she leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed over her chest.

Xue Wei frowned when he heard her question. He had not expected that she was eavesdropping on their previous conversation; however with her current attitude, it did not seem like she had any intention of stopping them.

“That is right,” Xue Wei admitted with a nod of his head. “We went to the ninth floor of the Soul Tower today and saw some rather unsettling things.” He continued, “these things gave us an idea of what might be hidden within the forbidden area, and we would like to enter it to make sure whether or not we are correct.”
