"Click!!" The guards sealed shut the door behind us as we walked in. I picked up a fire torch hanging on the wall and led the way down the stairs.
"My Queen, let me hold that for you?" Gideon requested.
I nodded. I gave him the fire torch, and we both walked down the narrow stairs until we reached the last floor with three routes in front of us.
"This way" I picked the left path and strolled in almost instinctively, dragging along Gideon who was still clueless about whatever was happening.
And soon, we reached the end of the corridor.
Strange. Something strange was going on. Why aren't there guards here?
I was sure. No! I assumed that there were supposed to be guards positioned around here.
"Is something wrong, my Queen?" My immaculate butler, Gideon questioned, dragging me out of my thoughts.
"Gideon, aren't there supposed to be guards there?" I responded.
I watched as he furrowed his brows in confusion. "For exactly what reason, my Queen?" He asked.
