Hidden Mine
That morning, Prince Edward followed the others to dig as usual. They had barely dug much when they were suddenly ordered to stop.
"You are all to drop your tools and return to your rooms as quietly as possible," one guard announced.
Prince Edward felt something was wrong. They were only given an hour of rest every day, so he couldn't understand how they were suddenly allowed to return to their rooms barely two hours after starting work.
"Did someone really break through the hidden seal?" Prince Edward, who had deliberately been slowing down and allowing others to walk ahead, overheard one guard speaking to another.
"It's true. I heard the watch guard delivered the news," the second guard confirmed.
Hearing this, Prince Edward was overjoyed. This meant he might finally be rescued.
"But even if someone managed to break the confusion seal this time, why are the guards being so cautious?" the other guard asked.
