They entered the gate and came to a small hall, which was about the same size as the classroom Chang Wuyong saw in the previous world.It was very dark in the castle, and the place where the windows used to be were nailed with animal skins to resist the winter wind and cold.Torches were lit all around the hall, and a candle chandelier stood in the center.

In the middle of the hall, two soldiers in leather armor were standing there.

"My lord will be here soon," one of the soldiers said to the armored man.

The armored man nodded.

The three of them stood in the lobby and waited.Chang Wuyong remembered that Arslen said that they were the ones the princess wanted.Chang Wuyou couldn't think of any other reason why the princess specially sent her bodyguards to take over them.

Freya is Abbot's daughter, and she is Abbot's heir.Chang Wuyong suddenly remembered that she didn't know whether this kind of heraldic inheritance could be taken away, but she could imagine that if it could, it would definitely cause irreparable losses to the people who were taken away.

Looking at the gloomy castle, Chang Wuyong knew that what they were about to face would definitely not be a good thing.

The door on the left side of the hall was suddenly opened, and Chang Wuyong saw a fair-skinned girl with red hair and a braid walked in.She looks about 15 years old, her features are very sweet, she looks innocent.Her attire was also gorgeous, with a long skirt and delicate gold headpiece.Behind her, followed by two maids.

She seemed to come from the same place as Freya.

This is?Princess?

Chang Wuyong saw two soldiers bowing to her, they bowed to her and said, "Your Excellency."

The 15-year-old chief executive nodded, and she said to the armored man, "Thank you, Batu, is this the one the princess wants?"

"This blonde one is." Batu said.

What the princess wanted was Freya, Chang Wuyou thought, the princess didn't know that she was Abbot's successor.Then, there is no risk of her heraldic inheritance being deprived for the time being, but...

"Then this black-haired one should be locked in the dungeon first." Chang Wuyong saw the little manager tilting his head to look at her, and said casually.

Two soldiers walked towards Chang Wuyou.

"What are you going to do?" Freya stood in front of Chang Wuyong.

"Freya Abbott?" said the steward, using the language of conversation between Abbott and Freya.

Fu Liya tilted her head, she protected Chang Wuyou and said, "Where are you taking her?"

"The princess has always wanted to see you again." The little manager said with a smile, "but only to see you."

Following the little manager's words, the soldiers pointed Sensen's spear at Freya, and the armored man Batu also assumed an attacking posture.

Chang Wuyong knows that Freya's physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people, but what she is good at is hunting, not fighting.She gently pulled Freya, and said to her: "It's okay, I'll be put in prison first. After you see the princess, try to find a way to get me out."

Freya looked at her worriedly.

"Be obedient." Chang Wuyong squeezed Freya's hand.In fact, she knew that the relationship between Abbot and the prairie people was not very good, and Freya might not be able to rescue her.However, Chang Wuyong didn't want Freya to get hurt for her again.It is often useless to find out the situation before trying to find a solution.

"Will she die?" Freya asked the little manager holding back her anger.

"Don't worry, no prisoner will die before the princess returns." The little steward replied seriously.

Freya looked useless, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

The two soldiers led Chang Wuyong to the door on the right, and Chang Wuyong turned around several times, only to see Freya watching her from behind.Those blue eyes seemed to be burning, burning with helplessness and anger.

The wooden door slammed shut, blocking Freya's gaze.

Looking at the dark and damp corridor, Chang Wuyong took a deep breath and continued to follow the soldiers.On the right side of the corridor, there is a half-covered room with several bunks, and there are random piles of changed uniforms beside it, which seems to be a place for soldiers to rest.The room on the left was open, and a man in his 20s was sitting behind a desk, and the soldier led her into the room on the left.

The man's complexion is dark, and his facial features are quite heroic. There is a thick stack of parchment on his desk, and he is frowning and writing with a quill.Seeing that Chang Wuyong was brought in, he briefly asked the soldiers about Chang Wuyong's background, and when he heard that it was brought by the armored man Batu, he nodded.Then he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to put Chang Wuyong in prison.

Chang Wuyong hadn't walked out of the room when he heard the sound of Rusha's pen rubbing against the parchment again.Immediately, the soldiers took Chang Wuyou to the end of the corridor, and they went down a winding staircase.There was a low wooden table under the stairs, and two people were sitting at the table bored.About 1.5 meters away from the table was a cell, in which seven or eight women with disheveled hair were imprisoned, while the rest of the cells were empty.

Chang Wuyong noticed that when the two soldiers sitting there saw her, they looked at each other and smiled.

Chang Wuyong secretly frowned.

After a brief exchange, they put Chang Wuyong in the cell. Chang Wuyong felt that one of the hands was deliberately pressing on her shoulder and sliding down her back.The disgusting touch made the hair stand on end. When she was about to touch her butt, she hurriedly stepped into the cell and avoided it.

She heard the laughter of soldiers behind her.

The women in the cell seemed to have been imprisoned for a while, and Chang Wuyou noticed that there were grassland people here, and there were also European-like Masta people.The women here range from about 17 or 18 years old to 30 or 40 years old, and their clothes are also different, but it can often be seen that they are all civilians.

The only similarity is the eyes, and everyone's eyes are numb.They glanced listlessly at Chang Wuyou, and quickly continued to lower their heads.No one talked to her, and no one even gave her a second look.

"Before the princess returns, no prisoner will die." Chang Wuyong suddenly remembered what the little manager said, but it was just that he would not die.

Some things are better than death.

Chang Wuyong chose a seat relatively in the back, and sat down against the cold wall.She found that she quickly integrated into this group of women, and she might be faster, life would be worse than death.

The soldiers outside the iron railing looked at Chang Wuyong with wolf-like eyes, the two guards, and the two who escorted her over.Their eyes were fixed on Chang Wuyou, as if looking at a fresh plaything.It is often useless to retreat, but there is no way to retreat.

The time in the dungeon passed slowly, and Chang Wuyong felt thirsty, cold, and hungry.She felt even more frightened. She tried her best to concentrate on the withered grass in front of her. She counted one by one, counting and counting, and she fell asleep.

Chang Wuyong was awakened by the sound of the iron door opening. She saw two crying women being brought in. They looked slightly older than Chang Wuyong.After they were locked in, they sat next to the prison door.Tried to talk to someone else but got no answer.

From the conversation between the two of them, it was useless to hear that it was their husbands who committed the crime, so they were used as atonement.After a while, the soldiers began to distribute food to the prisoners, and each was given a bowl of sticky stew.Chang Wuyong discovered that she had been given a little extra on purpose.The soldier brought in a wooden bucket of water, and everyone could drink from a gourd.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, the cell regained its silence.But Chang Wuyong found that with the passage of time, the cell began to become restless, the person on her left began to tremble uncontrollably, while the person on the right was clenched fist.

Suddenly, there was a noise, and soldiers came in one by one, making noise, laughing and cursing.

"Let's go." They opened the cell door.

"what--"

The new woman sitting by the cell door was dragged out screaming.
