CW: torture
"Understood, Her Majesty!"
In the wake of Queen Oda's departure, the chamber plunged into a silence that echoed with the remnants of Sophia's torment.
The air was heavy with the weight of suffering, a suffocating blanket that clung to the walls and seeped into every corner.
The torture continued unabated, each lash of the whip accompanied by a guttural sound that emanated from Sophia's throat.
The news of Lady Sophia Mary Pynsia's capture, the hunt for the two heirs of the Gamaaloth royal lineage, and the conspiracy between Queen Oda and Vicar Engeram, the warlord of the Ostrill kingdom responsible for the slaughter of countless people in the Cescil kingdom, had reached the ears of the Governor of Clearport.
The governor couldn't fathom how Queen Oda could conspire with someone who had ruthlessly massacred her own people. It was a puzzling and horrifying alliance that defied logic and morality.
