Eran is now inside the royal prison, a gloomy room with cold stone walls, creating a tense atmosphere. Moments ago, two soldiers roughed him up as they dragged him from the underground prison to this cell, leaving wounds on his body that were getting harder and harder.
He remembered the first time he arrived in this place. How his negotiation with Sandise, the deceitful man who played in the shadows, went. Eran couldn't forget every punch and kick that landed on his body during that encounter; he was determined to repay every blow to Sandise later.
"Will he keep his promise?" Eran murmured silently, his determined eyes reflecting the steadfastness of his heart. The question made him curious, and even though he was bound by cold iron in the prison, Eran hoped Sandise would keep his promise to save Taneaya.
