Chapter 469: The Monster Behind Gentle Eyes (II)

Even though he said it was for himself, Primrose knew he really just wanted to get her away from Garrick, so she wouldn’t have to keep hearing the filth inside his head.

"Alright," Primrose sighed. "Let’s get some fresh air."

"Your Majesty, where are you going?!" Garrick shouted when he saw them leaving the dungeon. "Your Majesty, why won’t you release me?! Listen to me, you’ll regret this! The King of Nerathis will come looking for me!"

Primrose shrugged as she walked toward the door. "He won’t. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re back on the streets before anyone even notices you are gone."

"What?!" Garrick yelled. "That doesn’t make sense! People will know I’m missing! They’ll kno—"

Primrose could no longer hear him once Edmund closed the dungeon door. Thankfully, her father had built it to be completely soundproof.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Callen, who stood guard outside, immediately asked when he saw how pale she looked.

"Could you bring her some water?" Edmund said.

Callen didn’t ask any questions. He simply hurried away to get it. Meanwhile, Edmund gently guided Primrose to sit in a chair Callen had prepared in case she ever felt tired.

"Are you alright?" Edmund knelt in front of her and took her hands. "Do you want to tell me what you heard?"

Primrose swallowed hard, then slowly nodded. Bit by bit, she told him everything she had heard inside Garrick’s mind, and the longer she spoke, the darker Edmund’s expression became. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"That bastard," Edmund growled under his breath, his jaw tight with anger. He was already thinking of killing Garrick rather than letting him speak another word. His hatred was so strong that he could barely hide it from Primrose.

"I know some people can be rotten," Edmund said quietly, "but this man isn’t just rotten, he reeks of it."

Primrose let out a tired sigh. Her eyes were filled with sadness as she looked at him. "If someone like him is already this disgusting... then what about the people above him? Like King Averon."

She still didn’t know whether the King of Nerathis was directly involved, but so far, Garrick hadn’t thought anything about him.

"And he also said they locked the children underground." Primrose clicked her tongue in frustration. "That could be anywhere."

Most buildings in Azmeria had basements, because storms could get really bad. Which meant the children could be hidden beneath almost any building.

"There are a lot of big buildings here," Primrose continued. "But I’m thinking... maybe the building aboveground is small, while the real place—the big one—is underground. I don’t know if that even makes sense."

"It makes perfect sense," Edmund replied. "Sometimes the best way to hide something is to keep it in plain sight, and then hide the real room beneath it."

"So for now, we just need to find out where that place is," Edmund said. "Alright. I’ll try to get the answer from him."

"Now?" Primrose looked up at him as he stood. "I still feel a little dizzy. Can we do it... maybe fifteen minutes later?"
