qThe three of them drove to the forest near William Castle. Then, Dominic and Francesca got out of the car and sneaked into the castle through the backdoor.

At that moment, they heard two guards chatting. “Let's have a smoke.”

“How could we smoke on duty? We're doomed if we get caught.”

“What are you so scared about? The people in the castle don't know how to fight back at all. They don't even dare to leave just because they are prohibited from doing so. Look, nothing happened even after so many days. It's pointless for us to guard this place.”

“You're right. These people are used to being oppressed, so they act like caged birds. Even their master, Prince William, is merely a pawn to others. We don't even know if he's still alive.”

“Right. What else can they do when their master is in that state?”

“How much longer do you think we'll have to stay here?”

“It won't be long. Their water source is poisoned, and they have no food. They won't be able to hold on for long.”

“It's already the seventh day today. I wonder if they're still alive.”

“There's some food left in there, so I don't think they'll die in seven days. However, I heard all of them have been poisoned, so they probably have little time left.”

“Okay. So we only need to hang on for a few more days before we get to go back.”

“Yes. Come on, have a smoke.”

“Thanks, dude.”
