Those were the words Ismael heard before the ropes around his hands and feet came loose. The next thing he knew, the armored knight dragged him out rudely, but he was too stunned to even wonder who was this person, and what they wanted from him.

His dilated and shaking eyes shifted to the armored knight, slacked jaw.

"Conan," said Conan while looking at him with knowing eyes and showing him a thumbs up. "A recruit under the crown prince."

'A spy?' Ismael furrowed his brows before he glanced at the dead soldiers scattered around.
