Chapter Eighteen

I’ve been in this dungeon for days, it’s cold and damp and I don’t even want to think about why it smells so bad.

I hope Phillip is okay.

When they broke into my shop that night I tried to fight them off but one old man against a bunch of dragons wasn’t a fair fight to begin with. I should have known that Daria winning those damn games would mean people would come after me but I was just so proud of her I didn’t think ahead. Or maybe it was the fact that she somehow found herself attached to all those little Princes. Either one would gain her enemies.

I just hope she is smart enough not to fall into their traps trying to save me. I’ve lived a long life, I don’t want her risking hers for me. Who am I kidding? My fool child would do anything for me, including recklessly risking her life to find me.

Anyone that’s listening up there please keep my little one safe.

Sitting up, I look around and I can't tell if it’s day or night my body screams in protest as I lean against the stone wall. My left arm is broken, and my head has quite a large bump. My back is raw from the lashes they gave me when I first arrived. Something about punishment for resisting. I’m still alive though and I intend to stay that way.

There isn’t anything in this place that indicates where I am. I suspect Tranquil because that is what the soldiers hinted to, but I thought they were the peaceful kingdom. In the end where I am doesn’t really matter I guess. The fact is I’m trapped and with the way my body is feeling right now I won’t be breaking out any time soon.

“I see that you are awake,” a voice says from the outside of the metal cage. It’s so dark I can’t make out any features but I know from the voice that it’s a man.

“Why am I here?” I ask, not bothering to plead for my life. It’s obvious that whoever this is has a plan that requires me to be alive or I’m sure they would have killed me by now.

“I have need of you,” he says, his voice sounding sinister.

“What do you need me for?”

“You are simply bait for me to get what I want,” he says, and that part I had already figured out.

“What is it that you want?” I ask, trying to push for some more answers. They won’t do me much good in here but knowing is better than being left in the dark.

“I want to rule the world of course. Isn’t that what all evil people strive for? Ultimate power,” he sneers and I know now that I’m probably not going to get much out of him, but I still have to try.

“How does kidnapping me help with your cause?” I ask.

“Your daughter is now the key to controlling all the future Kings of Estonia. If I capture her then I will rule them all,” he says and a shiver rolls down my spine.
