On the ground lay bundles of arrows and several crossbows. There were also rows of knives and swords, along with a selection of bows. A few large barrels were stacked in one corner.

As Rafael approached, the pungent scent of gunpowder wafted toward him. The barrels were sealed tight and covered with several layers of material. Yet, the unmistakable smell of gunpowder lingered in the air.

The area where the barrels sat wasn’t illuminated. The only source of light was at the entrance to the dungeon.

Rafael turned around just as Eleanor’s household soldiers arrived. Their eyes widened in shock at the flickering light illuminating the dungeon. Many stood frozen, momentarily forgetting to confront the

Rafael stepped forward with his sword drawn, taking down several household soldiers in quick succession. It was then that he spotted Barrett entering with a handful of capital guards.

Barrett barely had time to take in the scene before he charged toward the so–called assassin, weapon raised.

Rafael exchanged a few blows with Barrett, who was momentarily distracted when they locked eyes with each other in the dim light. Seizing the opportunity, Rafael darted up the stairs, ascending three steps at a time and leaving the dungeon swiftly.

Barrett paused, taking in the surroundings wide–eyed, his heart pounding with shock. He took a deep breath and exchanged glances with the other capital guards.
