=====•

In the stillness of the midnight hour, Ragnar found himself restless in his chamber. Thoughts of Sophia lingered incessantly, her face haunting him even in moments when he sought rest. With heavy steps and a troubled heart, he made his way towards the dungeon beneath his keep.

His mind was consumed with thoughts of Sophia, her image haunting his every waking moment. Despite the late hour, sleep eluded him, and a gnawing unease settled in the pit of his stomach.

The guards stood tall in the underground corridor, their heads bowing in reverence as Ragnar passed by.

The underground dungeon echoed with the faint sounds of Ragnar's footsteps as he made his way through the labyrinthine passageways.
