Renee was held by armed guards and pushed into a remote place in the fort that was surrounded by a lot of guards.
"How dare you offend Mr. Jenkins! If not for Mr. Osborne, your tongue would have been cut off by now! Stay in there and reflect on yourself." The guard fiercely pushed her into a small, dark room, which was the so-called dungeon. The door was closed again, and Renee felt her throat tighten in the tiny room, like she was being strangled.
"Who’s there?" There was movement in the furthest corner, and Renee immediately realised there was someone else in the dungeon with her.
"You're new here?" The person leaned back against the wall and stared at Renee. Renee couldn't make her features out in the dark, but her voice was eerily toneless.
Renee frowned and asked tentatively, "Could you be... Joanne?" She vaguely heard that Joanne was locked up in the dungeon too. Besides, there were practically no women around, so it was very likely that this person was Joanne.
"You're new here, but you know me. You don't seem like the average person." There was a hint of teasing in Joanne's flat voice. She figured Renee had to be special for her to be locked up in here too.
"You're Joanne?" Renee rushed to the woman and said happily, "That's great! I didn't expect to see you so soon!"
"W-What did you say?" Renee was shocked, not expecting such a reaction from Joanne. She thought that Joanne must have been in a situation where she was forced to stab Quinton, but unexpectedly...
"Can you tell me what Night Demon did to make you hate him so much? You guys were on good terms in the past, and you were always the angel who protected him and kept him company. Why did you—"
"Hmph, angel?"
