The Archduke's manor stood as an architectural marvel in all of Emoria, its magnificent structure comparable only to the King's palace in Destan. Yet, there was a part of the manor seldom spoken of, for it was a place no one in their right mind ever wanted to set foot in—a dreaded dungeon.
Adela was a young girl when Claude convinced her to join him on an adventure to explore the infamous Archduke's dungeon. They had overheard a few royal guards bragging about catching a glimpse of it, and their curiosity got the best of them. Their initial thrill soon morphed into a harrowing ordeal as they became hopelessly lost in the maze-like corridors.
Fortunately, it was the Archduke himself who came to their aid. And while Adela managed to escape punishment for their ill-advised exploit, Claude was barred from visiting Lanark for the subsequent month as a consequence.
