Mocking Position

In the dark room, there were more than six people who were tied from the chairs and were in a state of unconsciousness. 

Chris stared at them with Ian standing behind him.

"Did they confess yet?" Ian's face hardened as he shook his head. 

"Hmm, it will be difficult to take the back to the palace without being noticed. It would be better that they confess here. But if they don't, I want them to reach the place before morning." Ian nodded his head with a salute as he stood straighter.

"I am going to warn the viscount and tell braon the truth. After that we will return to the palace, our work is done here." he said with a pause as he recalled the cold face of kath and how his own kids had left him.

He was here to capture the spies of the duke and then convince the nobles against him. His work was done. Then why was he being so restless?
