Chapter 85 : Whimpering

"Whimpering? What do you mean?" Lyte asked in a hushed voice as he tried to listen to what Snow was talking about.

"Yeah. All I hear is whispering. You know, the whispering of the guards the Ice Queen sent to keep us safe. It's very faint, though. Why is that?" Lisa replied after she too failed to catch the whimpering mentioned by Snow.

"The guards were not sent to keep us safe, they are to keep the other inhabitants of this palace safe. They are patrolling at the ends of the hallway, not even close to the door to this room. That is why it sounded so distant. Two to the left and two to the right," Snow continued trying to focus on the whimpering she heard.

"Keep the palace safe? How does them being here keeping an eye on us keep the others safe?" Dawn asked.
