The dungeon was no longer as restricted as before. With most of its security measures removed, the top officials could easily access it.
Thea didn't know why she listened to the little girl but she did. Here she was standing at the door. Her heart was beating violently in her chest.
She blamed her heart for loving a heartless man. Even now, she could feel the excitement in her blood as she hesitated to walk inside.

Sadly, she couldn't avoid it for long. She gave in to the urge and rested her gaze on him.
Lucas was no longer in a sitting position. His body was shackled down in a bed. At first, Thea couldn't understand why Lila would go through the trouble and give the man a bed.
The answer was soon obtained when she saw the figure clearly. The person lying in bed was no longer the same as the mighty man she once followed.
