Chapter 43: Reverse Interrogation Technique
Not gonna lie, I descended into the palace dungeons seeking a certain comfort in Ravenna’s presence. After what happened during breakfast, I lost all appetite, and having to eat lunch looking at Leliana’s blank face disgusts me.
I wanted time away from other people, to walk alone, but that’s not possible when my life is in serious danger. The guards, inquisitors, even some of the more competent martial arts servants are glued to my ass, just to make sure no one suspicious gets too close.
To be honest, having hairy, strong men staring so much makes me extremely uncomfortable. At this point, I’d feel safer sleeping next to Leonhardt than walking through the rest of the corridors.
Let’s forget that for now and focus on finding Ravenna.
The dungeons also have their own guard, so I’m relatively safe here. It’s a rather dark and empty place, cold-blooded criminals are rare here. Most are corrupt nobles, high-ranking people who messed up colossally, "normal" people with high power who serve as scapegoats for the powerful to get away. Disgusting, yes, but fully real.
Speaking of real, I wished the person before me were a complete illusion, because I am, at this very moment, seeing my father with his arms crossed, leaning against a cell door.
What are you doing here, old man?
"What are you doing here, Darius?"
Hey, don’t steal my mental question!
"I ask you the same."
"We are currently interrogating Ravenna, considering she is still responsible for the terrorist attack on the courtroom that day."
"’We are’? There’s someone else inside?"
