Operation Violence II

3rd pov

The night is ripe. Ruijerd has only one objective; to rescue Furn and Rudeus. Whether this objective will be easy to do is up to fate and the actions, small or big, Ruijerd, and other people the objective revolves around. 

But focusing on Ruijerd, he is running to the location where Furn and Rudeus are trapped in. According to the information earlier, Furn and Rudeus are trapped in a dungeon underneath the castle where the 7th and "Blessed Child" Princes resign. One thing based on the information is the power both princes possess and their potential of it. It is frightening. The "Blessed Child" is better known as the "Decapitator Prince" due to his. . . violent ways of. . . ripping heads and his irregular human strength and magic. 

Ruijerd chuckles: 'If Eris learned about him she would undoubtedly want to challenge that prince.'

As for the other prince, the 7th is regarded as a prodigy for his level of magic and the amount of mana reserves the human has. But due to this label of being a prodigy, he is nothing but lazy and arrogant. 

'How did they even get captured? Furn is certainly stronger than both princes, especially the 7th. Rudeus on the other hand is... subpar. He is always hesitant in his actions. But at least he has morals that make him take action.' 

Ruijerd always regarded the twins as prodigies in their own right. But one is clearly better than the other. Ruijerd knows all too well what might happen in their lives. It's only a matter of time.

Shaking his head, Ruijerd sees the entrance of the castle and focuses on the task at hand. Looking in all directions, he sees guards stationed at various points of the castle. It's as if there is a plan of some sort. Blending in with the darkness the night provides, Ruijerd jumps over the wall.

Looking to his right and left, he sighs too many guards in sight. Moving quickly, Ruijerd subdues one guard to head further into the castle. But before he does, Ruijerd drags the unconscious guard to a 'nature' spot on the wall to make it seem he's slacking.

Heading into the outside of the castle, the inside of the walls. Ruijerd heads to a predetermined path laid out in... food? Giving it no thought, Ruijerd uses the food path as a way to quickly locate Furn and Rudeus. 

'Odd. There are no guards near the path as I keep traveling from it. And no maids...' Ruijerd suspects this to be a trap or the work of whoever is part of Estalle's group. Whatever the case, Ruijerd grips his spear. 

-A couple of minutes later-

Step by step, inch by inch, Ruijerd seems to be heading deeper into the castle. Whether this is the correct path to be on is not in his mind but it's better than any alternative he could've chosen. 

The path of food he has taken seems to have ended up on a door sealed by magic and various locks that would be taken with a massive hint of caution. Touching the door with his hand, Ruijerd senses a type... no multiple signatures of magic locked in the door. Next the locks, each one different from the other. Whoever designed this door clearly didn't want anyone to know what is inside of it. 

"This could be where Furn and Rudeus are held at." Murmurs Ruijerd.

*clap*

*clap*

*clap*

Turning around, Ruijerd sees a figure out in the distance of the hall. 

"Wow. I did not expect an intruder to actually come." The figure stated. 

"Who are you?" Ruijerd questioned.

"Me? I think the question you're looking for is..." The figure leans forward and appears in front of Ruijerd. "What am I?"
