"Done!"
Luca clapped his hands together and took a deep breath as he looked at cleaned floor. Everything had either been swept to a hidden corner or hid behind those tall bookshelves.
"That Warrick guy probably wouldn't know about those books…" Luca said as he looked at Wolfe and Juin. "Otherwise, our lives might be in more danger…"
Juin was about to say something when he heard a noise. "They are back."
The three boys then looked in the direction of where the door was supposed to be, and they could hear steady, calm footsteps. By the sound of it, it seemed that only one person was with them .
And soon, Crown Prince Warrick appeared in front of them.
"Alright, boys… What's the verdict?" Crown Prince Warrick asked. His nose twitched a little as he asked curiously, "Why is there a sulphuric smell here?"
With his nose wrinkled, he then looked at the three teenagers and asked, "Did one of you fart?"
Both Juin and Luca immediately stepped away from Wolfe, who was standing between them.
With their mere actions, it was obvious what they were trying to say.
"I-" Wolfe shifted his gaze from those two and looked at the Crown Prince, and his face turned bright red. No matter what, he was still a teenager. He was more comfortable with nudity than being caught farting.
"It's ok," Crown Prince Warrick said as he laughed while waving a hand in front of his nose. "It's normal… But boy, you must have eaten quite a lot of eggs for it to smell this strong!"
Wolfe's face turned even redder as he pulled his teammate back and placed them in front of him.
"So, what's the conclusion of your discussion?" Crown Prince Warrick asked after he stopped laughing. "Just you, Juin, or all of you? Or two of you?"
"Err," Juin hesitated before saying, "We didn't---"
"We will all go," Luca interrupted Juin.
"What?!" Juin pulled him closer and whispered, "I don't care about you, but what about Wolfe? Do you really think he can go into a volcano without being turned into a roast werewolf?"
"My gut feeling is telling me that he will be fine," Luca said in a low voice as he glanced at Wolfe. He had a suspicion that Wolfe might not be a werewolf, but he could not confirm it yet.
"Oh, so my life depends on your gut feeling now?" Wolfe whispered back in annoyance. "That's not very reassuring!"
"If you stay here, you will be able to roam around, but ultimately, you are a hostage. Is that really what you want? If we are unable to come back, you will be trapped here forever, and god knows what they will do to you," Luca said. He then asked, "And do you really want to let Juin go and get all those precious treasures by himself? If the Crown Prince really has a way to send us back, we might still be able to participate in the Battle. Having treasures that are unknown to others will be greatly beneficial to us!"
"I don't care, I just don't want to die!" Wolfe frowned. "That's a volcano, and my poor werewolf skin can't stand the heat!"
"We can use the Arcon bead," Luca said.
"What?" Both Juin and Wolfe gasped. They had forgotten about the Arcon Water Bead.
"But the bead can only grant its user a small amount of water," Juin said.
Luca scoffed. "This is why I am the leader."
He then sighed and explained, "With the Arcon Water Bead, Wolfe can control the water and form a protective layer around him. Then I can use my wind power to keep in chill while you can keep the flames away from him with your fire-control ability. He will be fine if all of us work together."
Juin thought about it. While he hated to admit it, he could see that Luca was indeed a great leader. His years of experience, as well as his knowledge, actually came in handy this time. And for Juin, who had just joined the supernatural world, these were the things that he would not know.
"But this will take quite a lot of soul power," Juin pointed out. "We don't know what's in that volcano..."
"In this case, I won't have to exert any soul power," Luca said. "The problem is you…"
Juin frowned slightly. Lucifer once told him that he had a vast amount of soul power, almost unlimited, but oddly enough, he could not tap into the whole reserve. It was as if there was a block, which they figured had something to do with the shackled soul in him.
"Now that he's awaken, does that mean the block will be lifted as well?" Juin thought to himself. He then shook his head and figured that it probably hadn't happened yet. For one, the shackled guy had yet to rid himself of all the shackles. And he couldn't seem to remain awake for long…
"No confidence?" Luca taunted as he rolled his eyes. "As expected…"
Juin ignored him and looked at Wolfe. After a while, he asked while scratching the back of his head awkwardly, "Do you trust me?"
Wolfe looked at him. He had never told anyone this, but ever since he met Juin, there was this unknown feeling that bubbled within him. He could not understand the feeling, but he knew one thing; that he had to protect Juin.
So, regardless of whether he could trust Juin's ability, he had to go with him.
Thus, with a sigh, he nodded. "Yeah, somewhat."
Now that they arrived at a consensus, Luca looked at Crown Prince Warrick and asked, "We will all go, provided that we can get something from the royal treasury."
"Ha, looks like you are quite an opportunist," said the Crown Prince with a smirk, clearly approving of Luca who was as shrewd as him. "Of course, I can't let you have everything, but if you can find something that can help you, feel free to do so."
"Do you know where the royal treasury is?" Luca asked suddenly.
Crown Prince Warrick smirked. "Of course. I have the map to every corner of this palace."
"And you are fine with us going in?" Juin asked with a brow raised.
Crown Prince Warrick shrugged and said, "If you get me the thing that I want, I don't mind giving you the whole treasury. After all, they aren't mine, to begin with, and I have way better toys at home. It's just that treasure is treasure, and they can bring me more money."
He then snapped his fingers, upon which Master Shawn appeared next to him. "Let's bring the boys to the treasury."
The teenagers glanced at each other. They weren't even surprised anymore. The sound of footsteps meant nothing here.
"Your Highness, I have received reports about..." The guard took a brief glance at the teenagers and shut his mouth.
Crown Prince Warrick glanced at the boys briefly before waving his hand in a nonchalant manner. "It's alright. These boys are friends. How is it?"
"We found the body of King Frederic."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Done!"
Luca clapped his hands together and took a deep breath as he looked at cleaned floor. Everything had either been swept to a hidden corner or hid behind those tall bookshelves.
