It had been over two weeks ever since Aed Ruad was lodged in the dungeon. Ileus hadn't let Anastasia go down to him because he knew that the moment she went, she would lose her temper. He had mulled over where to keep him with Haldir and Isidorus, but their options weren't convincing.
Aed Ruad had lost all his magic after Anastasia had plunged her sword in him. If at all he howled or screamed, his voice never reached the surface. And no one was bothered about a prisoner who was kept in the high security of the palace. It was extremely rare that prisoners were lodged in the dungeons of the palace, and if they were, then they must have definitely committed high crime. And so, no one even dared to enquire about it.
