Chapter: 454

He told him all the other secret passages, but this one was the exception.

The Duke entered the door and went down the steep stairs.

He went down the stairs for a long time and passed through the dark passage and saw a door in the stone wall.

This was a secret room that he did not tell anyone except one of his most trusted men.

When he knocked on the door, the man who had been waiting inside came out.

“Duke.”

“Did you bring the child?”

He received a report that the child had arrived a moment ago.

“Yes, the Young Master is here, but……”

With a shocked face, the man paused for a moment.

“Why? Is there something wrong with him?”

The duke was worried that the child might be injured or sick.

It didn’t matter whether that illegitimate child died or not, but it would be a problem if he died now, since Kaizen was looking for him.

After hesitating for a while, the man said,

“Duke, you must see the Young Master right now.”

Theor was locked up in a narrow, dark room.

No matter how much he looked around, he had nowhere to go.

There was one small wooden door, but it was closed tightly.

Theor came to this strange place after riding for a long time in a carriage with strange men.

He didn’t know where he was. He only remembered seeing a huge building.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Theor was led by the men into an underground passage.

And he was locked up in this little room.

‘Where is this place? Is this room also underground?’

There is no window here, so he doesn’t know if it is night or day.
