Chapter 516: DXVI. The Painting On The Wall

At the end of the stairway, two other guards, having noticed that their colleagues downstairs had let Dag through without any problems, did the same, opening the door and allowing him to pass.

In the main hall of the palace, as he might suspect, Dag met no one and headed directly to Kranus's private office, hoping to find his teammates there. 

The man on his shoulders began to moan, regaining consciousness after being stunned and slightly moved his legs as if stretching himself from a long, deep sleep.

As soon as he barely heard his voice, in a violent gesture, he threw the squire to the ground, slamming him with his back on the stone floor of the interior of the palace.

"Ouch! Aargh..." 

He writhed several times for the pain, having not yet realized that he was inside a building and no longer in the middle of the street.

"Hey... hey! Wake up! Oh!" Dag exclaimed, slapping his face and continuing to treat him as if he was a soulless wild beast.
