In the northwest corner of the royal palace at Fort Riptide is King Solas's private prison, which was converted from an old royal prison.

Since the time of the Arathas Empire, countless noble criminals have been imprisoned here, from royals who have committed unforgivable sins, to ministers suspected of treason or rebellion, who have spent the last moments of their lives here; Water dungeons, dungeons, guillotines, torture chambers, you name it.

"Your Royal Highness, Prince of Arthas, please be careful, the staircase here is in disrepair and can easily be emptied." De Jong cautiously led the way, turning back to warn Artsace.

"I see, Lord de Jong......" Arthas had a helpless expression on his face, he couldn't remember how many times he had answered De Jong's words, and from the time he descended to the underground stairs of this dungeon, the elder of King Soras's guard had reminded Arthas of I don't know how many times.

In fact, Frostmourn had always held his master firmly, and Arthas wasn't worried about slipping into the problem at all.

But De Jong can't do it, and he doesn't worry at all; Not long ago, the little prince of Lordaeron found himself and offered to go to the dungeon to see the orc chief who had been imprisoned.

De Jong naturally refused verbally at first - although the orc had been kept under strict guard, who knew if it would have some evil spells, and whether it would have the strength to resist; Even if it doesn't know how to use spells, if it breaks free and hurts His Royal Highness the little prince, it can't afford that responsibility.

But De Jong did not prevail against the neighboring prince in the end; De Jong was also present at yesterday's military meeting, although he escorted His Royal Highness Prince Christopher out of the chamber in the middle of the process. But the few words of the Prince of Alsace at the beginning made De Jong look at this young child.

The Prince of Arthas said that His Majesty King Terenus had given him permission to interrogate the orc, though De Jong was suspicious. But he could not confirm it - not long before Arthas found him, His Majesty King Solas and King Terenus had left the palace to visit the wounded soldiers in the city's makeshift shelter for wounded soldiers, accompanied by the chief chamberlain, Master Kurbanke.

Because Prince Garin accompanied His Majesty King Solas to visit the wounded soldiers, although His Royal Highness was unhappy that his father had forced him to stay, De Jong did not accompany King Solas on his journey.

In the absence of Kurban, the chief chamberlain, De Jong almost became the head of the palace, but don't forget that there are still two noble princes in this palace. One is the grounded Christopher? Torbain, the other is Arthas in front of him? Minahill.

De Jong did not dare to take the risk of stopping Arthas from interrogating the orc, because if it was really the order of King Terenus, then De Jong could not afford to delay the plane.

However, although Alsace was agreed to this trip to the dungeon. However, De Jong made his own request - he would be accompanied by a team of palace guards, and the flow and details of the entire interrogation process must be decided by himself - he did not want the Alsatian prince to come near the orc out of curiosity, and then have his neck broken by the big green hands.

Walk through the torch-lit dungeon corridors. Alsace is greeted by a cell made up of numerous compartments; Some of the compartments are wooden. Some were made of iron, but they all had one thing in common - they were not inhabited.

"Lord De Jong, isn't this dungeon usually used?" Arthas asked curiously - a dungeon that is not used very often, presumably it is not safe, what if the orc escapes?

"Well......" De Jong hesitated, a little dodging between his words, "that's not the case, His Royal Highness Prince Alsace. It's just that...... It was usually used to imprison high-ranking political prisoners, who were usually quickly executed. ”

Although De Jong was somewhat vague. But almost two lives were gained, and Arthas understood what the captain of the guard meant; I have heard before that King Solas of Riptide Castle has a relatively short temper, and his political methods have always been like thunder, and there is almost no word tolerance in his political dictionary, presumably the political prisoners who are imprisoned here are quickly sent to the gallows or guillotine, and the good thing that can commit treason like the Blackmore family and continue to serve as a lord in a remote area can only happen under the generous King Terenas.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Alsace, please come with me." Guarded by the court guards, De Jong led Arthas to the deepest part of the dungeon, where three court guards sat around a square table and one guard guarded an iron prison.

"Lord De Jong!" When the three seated palace guards saw this large group of people coming, they first stood up with a wary face on the hilt of their swords at their waists, and only when they saw De Rong in the crowd clearly did they let down their guard and saluted the chief of the guard.

However, Arthas noticed that the guards who had been guarding the prison did not leave their posts, but only nodded to De Jong from a distance, which surprised Arthas at the loyalty of the guards.

De Jong waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to be free; On weekdays, these palace guards are not a group of harmony, and they are too close to the upper aristocratic circles, and they will always be contaminated with some mutual admiration, but after experiencing this baptism of side by side bloody battle, the guards have formed a real love for their robes, and De Jong has become much more tolerant of these subordinates.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Arthas, are you interrogated here, or are you in prison?" De Jong asked, looking back.

According to De Jong, Arthas naturally got as far away from the orc as possible, but he decided to ask Arthas what he thought first.

"Let's go inside, with De Jong here, I don't think there will be any accidents." Arthas replied with a smile.

I can't guarantee that—De Jong said in his heart—but he motioned to the guard guarding the cell to open the door - if De Jong was still a little afraid of the orcs, after the battle with the orcs last night, he already knew something about these creatures, although they were stronger than humans - and the great chief of the orcs was obviously stronger than his kind - but there were so many palace guards here, and the guy was handcuffed and shackled, It wouldn't have caused much trouble - as long as His Royal Highness Prince Alsace didn't come to him.
