It was dark outside when Cian and his knight left his study after the prince wrapped up some paperwork. Although he was tired, work was not yet done. His last schedule for the day was to visit the prison where criminals who have committed crimes against the crown and the royal family were held captive, the very place where he had imprisoned the traitors who helped Hatha and Thevailes in his abduction, the assassins who killed the royal knights and hung their mutilated bodies inside Seren's garden and the perverted men who tried to molest his little sister in the marketplace.
At the entrance of the underground prison, the two knights guarding the door bowed to Cian. "We greet Your Highness, Prince Cian!"
"Are they still alive?" Cian asked.
"As per Your Highness's order, they are being tortured but we didn't let them die," one of the knights informed him.
