Chapter 294: Cut Everything From Its Roots

Zaro Aventine had already reached Helsia a day ago. With his wife, he stayed in the royal palace.

Though many moves weren't taken during the past year, the Minister of War took charge of the area and Minister Gerin helped him out. The latter mostly stayed in Helsia during the past months as the Minister of War had many works in Jerivia.

Even now, Minister Gerin was the one who led him to the dungeon where the deposed King Rozalez was locked up for more than a year now. 

Death or living as a prisoner... this was always the fate of defeated kings.

"It's this one, Your Majesty," Minister Gerin said to the young King when they halted next to one wooden door where two guards stood watch.

"Open the door," the King commanded.

One of the two guards quickly took out a key and did as the King ordered.

The Jerivian King walked inside with the Minister and two guards followed them inside with fire torches just in case.
