Chapter 150. Unexpected Dinner

Joseph and another guard grabbed each of her arms and led her through the building to the lower, much darker area. It looked as if no one had been down there in years. The thought of all the bugs and rodents that resided down there made her skin crawl. It was even worse than the cells were at the palace, at least there was some sort of light there.

Joseph tightened his grip when he felt her tense. She glanced up at him but he refused to look at her. The other guard held her normally and didn't seem the slightest bit peeved at her like the rest did. Still, she knew she wasn't a favorite among the night crew now. She bet they all had to say goodbye to their many naps and now had to pay a bit more attention to people sneaking right past them.

There were rows and rows of unoccupied cells. Joseph wasn't kidding when he said they weren't used to having prisoners, it made her wonder why they even had an area like this to begin with unless they were here from previous lords.
