บท 599: Standard Procedure

Shila didn't know what to expect as she made her way down the dungeons of Cordon Castle. While she had heard from her son that Pinra was going to be moved to a more comfortable location eventually, the finalization of the plans for it hadn't gone to effect just yet. This, in turn, left Pinra to remain detained in her usual cold and dark cell down in the deepest depths of the castle, far away from any sun or warmth that could possibly help and get her back to sanity.

Or at least, that was what she was told.

With each step, the very essence of the outside world seemingly evaporated, replaced with the dark and depressing aura of the dungeons as ghosts from the proverbial past seemingly haunted the empty cells around her.
