Chapter: 559

For such delicate and fine craftsmanship, it didn’t make any sense to have a throne off-centred like this.

“Oh yeah. Weird…” Jay thought as he looked closer.

“Let’s try to push it.” he suggested as the skeletons came over the help.

“Okay.”

They all lined up and began to push, but it was simply too heavy.

“Hmm… we need to make it lighter.”

Jay immediately had the skeletons break down the queen’s statue and move her rock chunks off the throne.

It felt wrong, but it was necessary. Right now Jay’s curiosity was the stronger force.

After that, the throne groaned and shifted for a moment, but stopped.

“Needs more work.” Jay said to his skeletons as they began their demolition work again.

They started smashing their hammers against the large decorative armchair parts of the throne, and soon two large chunks fell off, each taking two skeletons to move away. He decided to preserve the back of the throne for the engraved message on it.

“Okay, push!” Jay commanded them all at once with a grunt.

*DRRRRRRRR*

Slowly the statue moved back into place until it seemed perfectly in line with the room.

It looked fine to Jay, but Anya insisted on moving it slightly a few more times before she was satisfied.

Jay and Anya looked around the room for a moment, patiently silent as they looked and listened for anything.

Would a staircase appear in the ground? Would enemies come out of a hidden passage? Perhaps a treasure chest would fall down from the roof?

It was anyone’s guess.

Then, to their surprise, nothing happened.

“Uh..” Jay looked at Anya.

“Just give it a moment.” she held her hand up, sure that something was going to happen.

They both waited longer, but soon enough, Anya gave up.

“Ugh, damn. I guess it was nothing.” she pouted.

“Hmm, maybe we’re going about this wrong? Maybe we should move it even further off-centre” Jay shrugged, and Anya’s face lit up with a smile.

“Good idea!” she got excited as she went back to pushing the statue.
