Cedric still ended up infiltrating the 'castle' of the Void Prince...
The place was filled with his Royal Guards—smaller but definitely mightier and far more terrifying void creatures who obey direct orders from the Void Prince himself.
As confident as he is, Cedric still thought that it'd be wiser to be more cautious as he roamed inside this place. It was already hinted that the Void Prince can somehow sense him but only subconsciously. If he slips up even for a bit, he'd be caught right here, in the heart of everything.
So, he made sure to avoid line of sight as much as he could. He also ensured that he's not making any noise at all when he moves. He kept his body low, and he moved slowly. He's not in a rush to see everything this place has to offer; it's better to go explore slowly but safely instead of rushing in recklessly. The void cannot be underestimated.
