Chapter 576

The Lost entered the inner sanctuht Temple — its very heart — and bolted the heavy doors behind the runes flashed for a moment on the dark wooden surface, and then disappeared without a trace

Sunny glanced at the door with a frown, but didn’t say anything

Cassie had never been to this part of the Citadel, so neither of them had any infore, but right below them was the main bell tower of the cathedral, which was taller and wider than the other six belfries

The two Masters led their people through somber corridors to a spacious hall that seeuards keeping watch in front of the entrance, crates with food and water, a fireplace keeping the cold at bay, andfor people to sleep on

Just fro at the number of cots, Sunny understood that not everyone had returned from their latest hunt… or whatever it was that the sentinels had tried to accomplish

All in all, twenty-three Lost remained, some of them heavily wounded With Pierce, Welthe, and the two of them, there were less than thirty humans left to oppose the mad prince That meant that in several weeks, Mordret had eviscerated more than two-thirds of the te how confident Master Welthe had been in their ability to contain the prisoner at the start of all this, Sunny couldn’t help but shake his head

…Mordret turned out to bethan even his jailers had expected

The wounded were quickly tended to, and the Lost fell on their cots, dead tired A feent through the fa food, distributing water, and doing otherwas perfor once more how experienced and professional these people were

They were obviously fatigued, both mentally and physically, but not nearly as beaten and unsteady as Sunny had thought Their spirits were not broken… perhaps because only those with the strongest wills had survived

He also couldn’t help but notice that there was not a single reflective surface in the whole of the inner sanctum The Lost wore either arive off reflections, and even made sure to store and drink water frole drop fall to the floor

After a while, the familiar female sentinel approached them and said:

“Sir and Lady wish to see you”

Sunny and Cassie were led to a separate roo for theriestured to a couple of chairs and, after waiting for a few moments, said:

“The two of you will follow simple rules From now on, you are under our coive you You will not use any Memory or item that can be used as a mirror inside the inner sanctum… or outside of it, if you wish to live You will not conspire against your fellow soldiers or tell a single soul about what you have seen here in the Night Teht now”

Sunny and Cassie glanced at each other, but remained seated

Welthe nodded, then looked at Sunny
