Chapter 53

Alford sighed and walked to his seat.
The hall was wide, with a table in the middle, and round the seats, and a different, elegant chair at the end of the table for the president, on which no one had yet seated.
The first, at the age of twenty-five, was comfortably propped up in a chair with red hair and gray eyes.
The other sits in moderation, with brown hair, hazel eyes, and calm features, at the age of nineteen.
Alford: "So...?" He passed his eyes between them.
So the first said, scratching his head: "A group of scum has entered the palace."
Alford snorted and looked at them in astonishment: "Really! How!? I have assigned a group to guard! I haven't received anything from them yet!? Zarya is he telling the truth?"
Zarya nodded in agreement while he put his hands on his head feeling misfortune..
Alford mumbles: "The master will kill me."
Knock on the door Shawn never disappointed.
"I told him to bring coffee," said Alford quickly.
Shawn reluctantly: "Come in."
Triss came in with a soft smile, came close and offered each of them a cup of coffee.
The story continues below
Tris softly: "Are you orders?"
Zarya: "No, you can take a day off today, since it's the end of the month."
Alford put his hand to his face in displeasure.
Alford swallowed his saliva and settled himself: "Let's finish the matter of the palace first..."
Alford swallowed his saliva again: "And if someone finds it?"
Shawn put his hand under his cheek: "Never mind, boy, the master will not be angry with you, and the coffin is in a difficult place to reach, especially of a group of only money-thirsty,
Alford put his hand to his face, disliking the job that Shawn had just given him.
Zarya: "Don't worry, the master is waiting for someone to find him."
Alford and Shawn were surprised.
Zarya: "And he will include whoever finds him with us"
Then he looked at them: "Now Tris...we must dispose of him before the master returns, I don't think he will be satisfied with his presence among us!
Silence pervaded the palace, devoid of anyone but these three!
Shaun: "Unless you want him to join the group like us or get killed?"
Alford objected: "No!"
Shaun: "Then he should leave before the master returns."
The palace was quiet again.
Zarya: "Yes, let's ask the master to take him with us."
Alford objected: "No! Or at least not before he's a bit older!"
Shaun: "Then let's get him out of the palace until then!"
Zarya: "But he grew up here where are we going with him!"
Alford: "I give up"
They turned toward him, while he thought thoughtfully, "Tress will remain here, and when the master returns I will try to keep him in the palace without joining the group, and if the master refuses, then we will act."
Zarya: "And do you intend to disobey him!!?"
Alford: "No way! I just hope Triss is okay with us"
Alford fell silent and lowered his head, Then he looked at him out of the corner of his eye: "I never regret it."
Zaria looked at her phone: "Simon says the number of contestants has gone down to twenty."
Little did Shawn know that he was in the midst of this bad group, A child who was forced to be with them sits down one of the corners of a room when a sharp iron appeared from the ground and killed a person in front of his eyes.
He held his limbs with his hand on his head, afraid to make one move, And he must finish his work here and return the money to Taron, He began to see the floor.. He noticed that the location of Hodeidah exit and disappearance was different.
He threw a small piece towards a spot and a piece of iron came out. He was surprised that he was able to distinguish where it came out.
A week passed while he was in this palace, Someone was going out with him down the corridor to go to school, He was waiting in the corridor for his return.
Only at this time did he speak or mingle with him, He's the one who helped him on the first day they were here.
Save the little lane traps, the main halls, Rather, he was running with confidence and had distanced himself from a large part of the fear... and it was a clear shift in just a week!
There were eyes watching him silently..
The lamp fell from him rolled over when it was raised up, He began to move his legs and his hands were trying to remove the rope from his neck.
I
s it the end? Why couldn't he discern this trap? He was so good at discovering a lot.
He was higher than the ground, He felt his end getting closer, but one of them cut the rope, and he fell to the ground, and the rope untied.
He started panting and then took his flashlight and quickly pointed up when he felt someone and the person who was trying to kill him ran away..
He felt his neck, feeling the effect of the rope on it. He looked at the rope and knew that someone had saved him.
He heard a screeching sound, but he did not move, He is now careful in all his steps and stillness, so he does not know any trap that may appear suddenly..
He had already forgotten about his brother, He almost swears that his brother's punishment is easier for him than coming here, but how can he get out of the competition, as he is threatened with death..
Here he has a chance of surviving.. but outside, who knows what that cunning contest owner will do with him!
Someone reached out and grabbed it and stood up, This is the person he could count on.
Simon: "Young man, you are the center of attention for the contestants."
He was surprised and opened his eyes wide, Threatened here and threatened abroad, And threatened with the traps of the palace..
He said nervously, "Why?"
Simon was calm, He looked at him for a moment and then replied, "They have noticed your ingenuity so they are afraid to lose to you."
He didn't know what to do so he decided to consult the only person to address here, The one who was helping him to go and back from school.. and the one who saved him now..
"Shall I escape from the palace?"
"You can't, but there is a better solution."
a lake looked at him, Is there a better solution than running away?
"To stay in your room until the end of the month"
The solution seemed reasonable to him, so he simply dragged himself to his room, where he stayed until he fell asleep...
The next morning, at school, and specifically at lunch.
Tris came cheerfully, and set his table across from Ace's, and sat down: "Shall we eat together!"
Ace was discharged, He didn't notice until Tris spoke.
He smiled wryly, "It's okay."
Triss: "Hey, Ace, stop Abo."
Tris felt that Ace didn't want to talk so it was simply like he didn't see anything..
He took out a medal from his bag, smiling cheerfully, and handed it to Ace: "This is our friendship gift! I bought it especially for you! You bought me the same too!"
"Oh, Tres, looks like you've found a boyish friend like you."
Triss turned to his young bully with a cheerful smile: "I told you I was going to find a friend, I beat you to the challenge!"
Then he grabbed Ace and pulled him out.
"You are ignoring me!!"
Ace: "What do they want from you?"
Tris: "Back of a bunch who like to tease others, just let them go and let them have a good life."
It was quiet between them as they ate their food for a moment..
"Tris?" said Ace Sarhan.
Tris turned to look at him questioningly.
Ace: "Do you believe in vampires?"
Triss was surprised by this question and then smiled cheerfully: "Of course!"
Ace wished the other would deny the existence of such a thing, But unfortunately he supports him, so he looks sad.. how he is surrounded by problems...
And indeed, after school, he ran towards his house, Who knows, maybe his brother took pity on him!
He entered and did not find him at first. Then he saw him coming down the stairs, so he ran towards him.
"My brother!"
Taron looked at him angrily, how many times did he have to repeat the same thing to him? Does the little one like to be punished?
Taron: "Don't call me my brother!!"
His voice was furious, harsh as always, Ace leaned back as he looked at him with slight concern.
Ace: "I'm sorry, but please I'm tired of that mansion, I want to stay in my room and decide to lose! Everyone threatens me because of my cleverness and traps!"
He walked towards him, grabbed his shoulder and said in a murderous tone, "If you lose, Ace, I will double every punishment you will receive for your mistakes, you will taste the meaning of dying alive."
Ace shivered from the threat and from Taron's own tone, He swallowed his saliva and then deliberately showed the effect of the rope in his neck, he does not like someone to show pity for him, but he really wants to survive in any way..
Taron looked at the wound and then giggled, causing Ace to be surprised by this reaction.
That cunning smile on his face made Ace turn his face and then decide to run out, ignoring his brother's call.
the choice he will make, Whatever it was, he was cruel to him.. they did not leave him an option that he could escape from!
He left his room slowly on the fifteenth night of his coming, Skip the search for what he researched the first week..
Relegated ranks to a place like a prison, He began to walk cautiously, He decided to go out and look again.
He heard loud cries and the sound of flames of fire, he swallowed his saliva and then continued on, He looked at a large, sealed room with a small opening that was closed by strong glass..
He saw the flames behind him and someone was trying to hit the glass to no avail...
"You won't find, when the flame stops, the door will open."
Ace was surprised and turned to see Simon leaning against the wall behind him. How could he not have noticed? He had blonde hair and hazel eyes at the age of twenty-seven.
Simon: "It's good to see that a little boy has held out so long, I see you've decided to keep looking?"
Ace lowers his head, he's forced to hold on, what else can he do?
Ace: "Yes, I've decided to find the coffin...it's the best way to escape, I'll find it, open it, and find nothing!"
He said it, trying to relieve himself, yes there is a possibility of survival, which is that there is no vampire in the coffin!
Ace cautiously: "How many runners, sir?"
Ace passed that room and his body was trembling a little, the number was decreasing and he didn't know how he would survive from here..
He opened the door and took two steps inside until the door closed behind him.
The little boy turned around in panic, then he heard a voice from above, and he raised his head to inhale from a huge number of thorns that gradually descended..
He ran forward, seeing a distant door in front of him.
He felt like he was in a race, run as fast as he can, danger from above, The door behind him is closed and the exit is at the end of the road in front of him.
He noticed some diffractions so he just decided to avoid them without allowing himself to think if she was going to hide something..
