"You can rest all you like.""I see. I will be in the garden then." Asty smiled at her and nodded."By the way, Asty."The young woman shifted her head towards her direction. "Yes?""I found your boots in the abandoned staircase yesterday. Have you gone there?"Asty froze for a while, but kept her composure. She had forgotten to take it away. "Ah yes.

I see you've brought my brother along with you.""Ah, I just accompanied him to speak with trivial matters.""I see." she smiled at her and helped him sit on the cushion.

Asty stood in front of Errol and the human prisoner with a shaving tool in her hand. She took a deep breath knowing that it wasn't a good idea to bring a weapon inside the basement."Rule one, you are not allowed to touch me or hurt me in any way. Rule two, you can't grab or take the shave forcefully from my hands and lastly, rule three, you must be in your best behavior."Asty brings out the loaves of bread in her pockets and hands it over to them.

"Are you alright?" Errol caressed her back gently with his calloused hands.Asty's face was pale and her entire body had halted as if she had witnessed something so despicable before her eyes."Thinothel was a friend of mine." Robynn started and took a deep breath. "And before I was locked here, I used to serve him.""Serve my father?" Asty grabbed the male's wrists. "Why? In what way did you serve my father?"Robynn was skeptical about telling the young woman. He realized how his next words could potentially hurt her, and he had no heart to do so. After all, in his thoughts, he didn't need to involve himself with the feud between the young girl's family background."Don't you think you should leave?" Robynn told her in a monotone. "The maid will surely find you here.""I want to know how you knew my father!" Asty demanded.

"Hello, sweetheart."She froze.Her mind was screaming, telling her bail and tell for help. She wanted to run, but she didn't know if her legs would be able to carry her successfully into the door. It was like that if she made a wrong move, the creature would crush her and spread her blood across the pages of the books behind her.Her hand was still above his, and she couldn't move a finger.

He looked around him only to find himself in a sea of pages with had brownish to maroon stains. "Ugh..." he slowly straightened himself into a rod, nonchalantly- as if he just woke up early in the morning. He yawned and then stretched his tired limbs in the dusty air.A smirk escaped from his lips before standing up, when suddenly, he heard a voice speak to him."Hey man."He shifted his head to the corner to see nobody.
