Chapter 27 : Misunderstandings

Ayda’s POV

The prison was a lot more wholesome and charming than I’d originally anticipated when the Luna of Opal Hill shackled us for suspicion of espionage from an enemy state a few hours ago.

For example, the beds were properly stuffed in goose down as opposed to the straw bedding that I’d grown used to in the servants’ quarters while I was in Castle Lykaia. The room itself was a very spacious twenty-five square feet of stone cottage with bay windows that opened out into the courtyard with an en suite open-air bathroom.

Granted, the windows seem to be gilded in electricity somehow, as there is a constant hum that lets me know there’s a live current running through it. I would hate to be stung by that, but I suppose that’s the point. A good deterrent for those that try to escape or alter the windows. There also seemed to be hidden spike traps along the exposed walls of the bathroom.
