"This is the place." We stopped in front of the gates to the palace. The inside looked pretty neat. The grass is cut, the water fountain seemed to work well. "What's first." Sasori asked while pressing the button to page the gate keeper. "First thing is to talk to the king. He had sent out the request. So if he thinks we are best for this mission, then that's what we'll do." A man walked up to the gate and looked at us.

"Are you here for the mission?" He asked suspiciously. I guess everyone is in high tension when they learn their prince and fellow butler suddenly disappeared. "Yes sir. The prince and butler mission. I would like to request a meeting with the King before we begin." He nodded his head and pressed a button inside a small box next to him.

We walked through the gates and followed him through the front gardens before walking in through the front entrance. "My name is Kasai." He spoke formally, turning his head to look at us. "I am Misa. Nice to meet you Kasai." I spoke to him and looked at the guy with an emotionless face next to me. "Sasori." He spoke before looking somewhere else. "He doesn't speak much." I covered the awkward silence. Kasai nodded before gesturing to the stairs once we were inside.

At the top of the stairs there was a door to the left and a hallway to the right with several doors on both sides. Kasai opened the door to the left and held it for us. We walked in and I saw the King sitting comfortably on a couch. The King turned to look at the unexpected guests in his room. His face lit up with hope as he stood up and walked towards us.

"Are you two here for the mission I had sent out?" He asked. His eyes were red, probably from lack of sleep or from crying. His voice was slightly hoarse too. "Yes sir." I spoke for both me and Sasori. "Thank you for helping me. He never came back, and I'm extremely worried about him. If you find him safe and sound I'll double your salary, and triple that for finding the culprit." That's great news for me. "Don't worry your highness. We'll definately find him and bring both him and the culprit back."

"Can you wait to kill the latter off later?" He seemed to fidget slightly. "I will try not to sir." His shoulders relaxed as he fell onto the couch. "Thank you miss. And thank you lad for helping her." Sasori looked up and stared at the king. "It's no problem. It will take a few hours. If they're not in the castle, they must be close to it." I opened the file again. "No one goes in or out of  this palace. Anyone who does will be interrogated."

"I guess that's fair. I will tell this to every employee here. I hope there won't be any problems." He gave a small smile. "I understand sir." We bowed to him and left. Kasai closed the door behind him and escorted us to the living room downstairs. "Here is a layout of the palace." Kasai handed us the blueprints of the caste. "Woah! Five stories underground are you kidding me?!" I stared at the huge maze of hallways under the palace.

"No. That is all there is. You can begin anytime you would like, but be careful down there. No one has been in there for over ten years. I would watch out....if I were you." He bowed and left. Such a weird guy. Suddenly giving me weird tips and all that. I looked at the rooms located in the most strangest places and in weird positions. "Hey Sasori. Look at that room." I nudged his arm. He broke his gaze from where Kasai went to and looked at the blueprints with me.

"This one here. Isn't it in a strange shape." The room was shaped like a person. Quite creepy. With what looked like katanas stabbing it. Some of the other rooms were shape like the katanas sticking into that one weird one. The rest of the rooms looked pretty normal to me. The one strange room was at the fifth floor starting from ground level. I never would have thought I would see such a creepy thing.

Who and why would they shape a room like that. Maybe more space? Maybe they broke off some of the walls of the other rooms and put a new wall for a reason. But I can't say that. It resembles a person so much. Sasori stared at it intently, then looked at where Kasai left. "I don't trust that brat." He muttered under his breath.
