Capítulo 856: Chapter 72 : The Curse Can't Be Broken

My strange guide led me through a darkened door out of the ballroom. She brought me down a narrow corridor that opened into a much larger hallway.

The ceilings were high and there were nice paintings on the wall. I saw several closed doors with elegant brass handles on them.

Based on the sheer size of this place and the décor, I figured we were in a castle of some kind.

Myrel’s palace… and it was just as eerie and dead as the rest of the city, except for the woman I followed.

She led me up a free-floating flight of stairs with a stone banister and a red carpet all the way up. At the first platform, the staircase split in two and went in opposite directions.

My guide led me up the left staircase.

The deeper we got into the palace, the darker it became. Lights weren’t coming on like they had before.

She brought me to a room with low-lit windows that looked out into darkness. We were probably at the very back of the city, and there were no outside lights to illuminate the window.
