It was not the first time Sera paid Cedrick a visit at the dungeon of the de Lys estate. In fact, she had taken it upon herself to remind Cedrick of what Anna had been through during her detention at the Tower of Penance. Whenever she was bored and had nothing to do, she would torture Cedrick the way Anna had and force him to take a healing potion, only to repeat the same punishment over and over again.
As she reached the dungeon, she noticed that the guards immediately stopped talking to each other and made way for her. Sera could sense the uneasiness in their eyes as she passed. They were part of her father's army, yet hearing the screams Cedrick made as she tortured him made them wonder what kind of monster the crown prince released from the Tower of Penance for their kind and gentle mistress to turn out like this.
