Lauren felt the air leave her lungs as her head was shoved into the tub full of water.
She was in the red chamber with King Martin, Queen Thalia, and Cassandra supervising her torture session. Two guards were holding her down and one of them was shoving her head into the tub. After a long minute she would be pulled up and after a few seconds she would be pushed into the water again.
Queen Thalia sat with a wicked smile as she watched Lauren's mishap. The red chamber was dark and reeked of blood but she didn't care. She was enjoying the show too much to think how dirty the place was.
"That is only the beginning, Lauren. Keep breathing, darling," Queen Thalia said.
After half an hour of drowning her again and again, Lauren's face had gone pale and she was having a hard time catching her breath. Her face was dripping wet as well as her hair and her neck down to her chest.
