Not So Secret Meeting

It was getting late and the lampposts around the palace in the City of Snow were lit up.

"…they’re still not here?"

There was a small garden at the back of the palace and at the moment, Benjamin was standing in the garden, resting his back on a tree and waiting for the King’s servant to pick him up.

Wanting to meet the king was not easy. Due to this situation, if he were to just walk into the door, say that he was the mage Benjamin and he wanted to meet the King, Aldrich would most probably kill him!

He had to avoid getting the attention of his enemy and secretly convey the message to the king.

Fortunately, in order to deal with this kind of situation, the King had left Benjamin a secret way to contact him - if Benjamin wanted to meet privately, in the afternoon before four o'clock, leave a special mark on the street in front of the palace. There will be guards patrolling the street and if they saw the mark, they would think of a way to bring Benjamin in.
