Cling! Clang!
The sound of metal against metal brought Ysabel to open her eyes. Her body felt too heavy to move. She was struggling to keep her eyes open.
Her tears never stopped flowing until she passed out.
Ysabel knew she was supposed to have left the castle grounds several hours ago. But the iron bars and the foul smell told her she was currently held hostage at the dungeon.
Boisterous laughter could be heard several from nearby.
Clink!
Two guards exchanged happy cheers as they enjoyed the ale served fresh from the ongoing party inside the castle.
The maids served the drink to everyone, a reminder of how the late King usually shared every food on the table with all those present within the castle walls.
Except for the guards in charge of securing the perimeter, everyone else was to enjoy the merry feast.
