…

Joe sat crossed legged on the floor, staring at the seven crooked lines next to him in a daze.

This was how he enumerated the number of days he had been here.

For every day that had passed, he would dig a line in the ground.

It had now been seven days.

Joe did not want to think about whether Farrina was still alive or whether Lorenzo was still torturing her. His heart ached every time these questions came floating into his mind.

Joe started to wonder if he had made the wrong choice.

Sean had indeed promised him to send the message to the King of Graycastle. He also treated Joe fairly well. However, Graycastle was, after all, too far away from the Kingdom of Wolfheart. It would take at least a month for the King of Graycastle to receive the message, make a decision and send his troops to the Kingdom Wolfheart, and probably even longer if he was to discuss the matter with his ministers before taking actions.

Joe was not sure whether Roland Wimbledon would take this matter as seriously as Graycastle’s domestic affairs.

There was also a fat chance that he would refuse to help him outright.

If that was the case, all of his efforts would go in vain.

Joe lowered his head and looked at his manacled ankles.

He was tied to the foot of his bed by a chain almost in a man’s length.

“Perhaps, I could use this chain…” thought Joe.

“Hey, are you awake?” The curtain of his tent was suddenly pulled back. Joe shielded his eyes against the dazzling rays of sunlight that streaked across his confinement. “Ah, you’re awake. Come with us then.”

“Wh-where?” Joe asked blankly. For a moment, he was so bemused that all his wild thoughts deserted him.

“To the Kingdom of Wolfheart of course. Didn’t you want to save your girl?”

Slowly, he felt more comfortable with the lighting in the room. The next moment, he realized that the man who had been talking to him was none other than Sean.

Sean tossed him a key.

As the message slowly sank in, Joe snatched up the key tremulously and said, “Did, did the king…”

“His Majesty approved our rescue plan. We’ve decided to transfer you to Neverwinter for a hearing,” Sean replied to him nonchalantly. “The unit carrying out this operation has arrived at the Coral Bay. We’ll be meeting them there and heading to the Archduke Island straight away.”

“They’ve already arrived?” Joe wondered.

“How come they’re so fast?”

He could not believe his ears.

But he had no time to waste on these trivial matters!

Joe scrambled to unlock the shackles. Since he had been sitting in the same position for a considerably long time, he stumbled when he tried to straighten up.

“If you don’t feel well…”

“No, please take me with you!”

He implored exasperatedly.

“Then come,” said Sean, smiling.

Joe cast a backward glance at the marks on the ground. The sunlight blazed off the crooked lines, silvering the strokes.

He wondered what was waiting for him.

Finally, he saw a ray of hope.

Joe took a deep breath and followed the guard out of the tent.
