บท 396: In The Bailey

The lieutenant and two other lieutenants brought the soldiers to the Bailey as the commander had instructed. The men had confusion evident on their faces as they were bound by their hands behind them.

"What did I do?" one of them kept asking over and over again.

One had attempted to run off but was caught before he could make it out of the barracks.

"Where do you think you are going?" the Lieutenant asked him with a scowl on his face.

"I don't know what you did but you know deep down within you..."

He went ahead to tie the soldier's hands behind him.

"You know that you won't make it out of the kingdom so why attempt to run in the first place?"

"I did not do anything!"

"Then you should come and clear your name," the lieutenant said. "Not to run..."

The soldier shook his head severally.

Another one cried out. "You are taking us to our deaths!"

"No one is killing anyone," the lieutenant replied to him.
