He was.

I woke to a mad scramble of pounding footsteps and the abrasive jangle of keys. I scrubbed my hands over my gritty eyes and opened them to find Nylian kneeling next to me, poised to pounce.

Fuck that shit. Pounce, my ass.

Wait, that came out wrong.

It was too early for pouncing on guards and breaking free.

“Don’t speak unless someone asks you a question directly, and keep your answers short. Stay behind me and follow my lead,” Nylian directed.

“No one should expect anything grand out of me before coffee,” I mumbled.

By the time the guard was shoving a key into the lock, I was on my feet and more or less awake. Sleeping in a cold, drafty dungeon was an experience I hoped to never repeat. Zero stars. Would not recommend it to my friends. Just my enemies.

“King Beldroth and Queen Sumina would like to speak with you,” the guard stated as he swung open the door. He even offered a bow that had me glancing over at Nylian. The elf flashed a tiny smirk my way and preceded me out of the cell. This was an interesting change in tone from “We’re going to lock you up and kill your human.”

The walk from the dungeon to where the royals were waiting for us was long and twisting, but we got to see some amazing sights along the way. The first floor we reached was better than the dungeons, but not by a lot, since this looked like the place where all the servants lived and worked, away from the view of the royal family. Not a single rug or painting adorned the first floor to break the austere monotony. Lighting was sparse, creating an ominous air filled with deep shadows from which eyes could be watching.

However, the next few floors we passed through were brighter. Plain stone turned to endless acres of smooth marble of every color. Furniture was everywhere, each piece seeming more delicate and ornate than the last. Gold and gems dripped from every knickknack and luxurious furs covered floors and were draped over chairs. There was no missing that this was a royal residence.

While it was jaw-dropping, there was something that left me feeling like I was walking through an opulent mausoleum. There was a cold austerity to it all, as if nothing living existed in this space. It was a showroom for all the kingdom’s rich possessions.

I was growing winded when the guard who’d accompanied us pushed open a set of double doors, leading us into a bright room of white marble and enormous two-story windows that faced the east, welcoming in piercingly bright morning sunlight. Blinking fiercely, I held up a hand to shade my eyes as they attempted to adjust.

Around the room were at least a dozen servants in matching white uniforms, waiting to fulfill the tiniest command. They all stood close to a medium-sized round table that had to be groaning under the enormous weight of food and silverware.

With a loud clap that made me and about every servant in the room jump, a dark-haired elf with a crown leaped to his feet.
