All his fights and struggle to break free from the hold of the giant man amounted to nothing.
As they carried him away his eyes were on the cell, staring back at the boy who happened to be the only one who could explain this person's (Cerrius's) motives, and intentions when he decided to chose this path.
Val tried to reach out, begging Haynes but the marquis just kept on laughing at his struggles.
"Wait! Please! Haynes, don't let them take me!"
Val called out, but instead of receiving help, he got a certain reaction from everyone. The entire hallway went dead silent in shock, staring at him as though they had been possessed by a time freezing demon.
Why where they looking at him like that?
Had he done something?
He was still in the state of interpreting their actions when the mouth of the tall, bald commander who stood beside Haynes and had not spoken since he got there, moved for the first time.
He speaks!
