Chapter 113 : The Tunnel

Two guards came to either side of me. Before they could grasp my arms, I told them, “Don’t touch me. I have legs, and I can walk on my own.”

They glanced at the king, and he waved his hand, allowing the guards to respect my request. As a result, one of them nodded to me, showing me the way while the other followed behind, keeping a close watch.

I kept my head down but I constantly shifted my eyes from side to side, looking at my surroundings, memorizing my way through the palace to the dungeon.

I caught sight of several paintings on the wall that stuck out, embedding them in my mind.

When we got to an entrance leading to a tunnel going underground, the pitch black pathway had me stop for a moment. One of the guards pushed me onto the stairs.

“Hey!”

“Just keep going. You’ll be where you belong soon enough,” he growled.

The staircase was long and winding. When we got to the bottom, the air was damp and musty. Thankfully, I found the walls were lined with luminous stones, giving off a dim light. Once my eyes got used to the darkness, I could see again through the faint lighting.

“Straight ahead,” the guard barked at me.

I noticed there were hallways on either side, too.

The guards made me walk down the central hallway. That was easy enough to remember.

Despite my better judgment, I kept thinking about Eros. Had he told me the truth about Helen being in the dungeon? Was it all another part of his game?

He’d been deceiving us right from the start. Always lying about who he was and what he was after.

I understood that he wanted his freedom. Hell, I’d been there too. I nearly killed myself with poison to win my own. But the way he went about it… I had to question myself, if it was me, would I make the same choices as him?

Honestly, I didn’t know.

For someone like me and him, a slight chance for freedom meant everything.
