Alice’s Spirit Root
Inside one of the cells in the underground prison of the Firecrown Household, Raphael sat on the ground with his back against the wall. He had dark bags under his eyes and his skin looked filthy. His appearance looked even more haggard than the people living in the slums.
Since he was held captive, thoughts that he had been abandoned by his family emerged in his mind and it almost drove him into insanity.
'Did everyone abandon me?' Raphael grabbed his head and sobbed quietly.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps from outside the cell. He stood up and rushed towards prison bars. "Hey! Let me out of here!" He shouted when he saw two guards walking toward his cell.
"You're in luck, bastard. Someone wants to see you." One of the guards muttered in disdain as he took out a set of keys from his waist. He then unlocked the prison door.
