Chapter 82: "The Brave Ant in the Colony of Rebels"

…

Eight days passed by. Ezekiel and his knights arrived in the Nation of Leoniva, with Samson being guarded in a horse-drawn carriage which they bought from the village near the Forest of Dewmore. After informing King Adam's attending officer of their arrival, they went directly towards the darkest part of the palace. To be exact: the dungeon.

Samson, who lost all his toenails, was chained in the deepest part of the dungeon. He stayed silent ever since he got tortured eight days ago. Although he ate the food given to him, he refused to talk. What went on his mind was to stay alive, for he knew, as long as he lived, there's still hope.

When King Adam heard that his foster son had arrived, he followed him and his knights to the dungeon. He was curious whether there was any news about Ely.

"Greetings to His Majesty," they bowed at the king.

"You may all rise… Who is this?"

"He's the Rebels' tactician, father," Ezekiel responded.
