" If you keep going down that path, you'll arrive at the dungeons." King Patrick explained while pointing at a path. "In the sixth cell..."
"You mean the cursed cell". Henry interrupted.
The king gave his younger son a wierd look before continuing." In the sixth cell, pull the torch mounted on the wall down ; It should open up the wall and lead you outside ."
"Yes father" Matthew seriously committed his father's words to memory.
The group finally parted. The king and queen took the left passage while the two princes took the right, each going to different places.
King Patrick and Queen Lorena's POV;
The king and queen took the left passageway which led them into a room, very close to the private room they previously escaped from.
They peeked out of the room but found out that the corridor was empty.
The king picked a sword from the ones mounted on the wall as a decoration while the queen reloaded her pistols.
"That's all the ammunition I have left. Just hope it's enough." After making sure their weapons were functioning properly, they made their way into the corridor stealthily.
They pushed open the door quietly and aimed their weapons into the room. It was empty.
"It's empty" Queen Lorena said." Completely deserted. Where are all the guards?"
"Let's keep checking the rooms. We have to find that monster, Alfred and make him pay for his crimes."
"Okay " she nodded.
Together, they both checked all the rooms in the corridor but found them empty.
"This isn't adding up. Where are all the guards?"
"Let's just keep checking."
They kept checking all the rooms until, they came to the end of the corridor which also leads to another corridor.
Queen Lorena was about to head into the other corridor when she was suddenly pulled back by the King who pushed her against the wall and covered her mouth with his palm.
He motioned for her to be quiet and peeped into the corridor.
