[Author's POV]
[Flashback]
Walking down to the basement, Kazech could feel how dark and crowded the interrogation room was. It was intentionally done to force the prisoner's mind to go mad and result in telling the truth. However, from what Kazech heard from his butler, even though those assassins were tortured until their bodies were covered in blood, they did not want to open their mouths and instead make fun of the soldier in charge of interrogating them.
He arrived at the entrance door of the basement. Two soldiers that guarded the door bowed down to welcome Kazech.
"Welcome, Your Highness."
One of the soldiers has a long scratch on his cheeks.
"What's wrong with your face?" Kazech blurted out and made the wounded soldier cover his right cheek quickly.
"I-It's nothing, Your Highness."
"Ah—one of the prisoners attack him using the chain on the handcuffs."
