They arrived at the castle Aurelius' home which had been given to him on his 16th birthday when he was officially appointed crown prince.
From the high walls outside that nearly touched the sky, the castle felt more like a fortress than a home. Abrielle thought about what Cedric had said. He didn't go into much detail, but she understood the hints.
Under normal conditions, Cedric should have been welcomed at the palace and given accommodations there. Instead, he was brought to Aurelius' castle, an impenetrable fortress that was almost impossible to break into and out of being held inside like a prisoner. It would be hard to escape.
Although Cedric could not be held by walls because he could teleport her out, what about their allies who had come all the way from Dacronia? Aurelius didn't know about Cedric's ability, but having the rest here could serve as leverage against him.
