Tristan did not realized the Valkyrie, Serene, really took this seriously until he saw group of elven guards barged into the tunnel. Even so, he still maintained the faint smile when the dozens of elven guards grabbed and restricted his movement.
Well, Tristan was still the guest of the Queen, wasn't he? Surely, the princess would not go so far because of a few harmless lies
Unexpectedly the elves still took him deeper through the tunnel into the lower dungeon.
"What Is this princess trying to do to him?" He wonder
As they walked through the tunnel, Tristan could clearly feel the temperature getting colder with every meter they passed. The air slowly became musty and stuffy, while natural light gradually lost its presence until only the blaze of torches lit the darkness around.
