Chapter 17: The Plot Thickens

Arthur, Gedeon , and Antorn made their way to Lady Victoria's chambers, determined to uncover more secrets about the king's past. They had so many questions, and they hoped that Lady Victoria would be able to provide some answers.

As they arrived at her chambers, they found Lady Victoria pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace. She looked worried, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of fear.

"Ah, princes," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm so glad you're here. I've been expecting you."

Arthur's eyes narrowed. "What's going on, Lady Victoria?" he asked.

Lady Victoria took a deep breath before speaking. "I've received a message from a trusted source," she said. "A message that suggests the king's secrets are more sinister than we ever imagined."

Gedeon's eyes widened. "What kind of secrets?" he asked.

Lady Victoria hesitated before speaking. "It seems that the king has made a pact with a dark sorcerer," she said. "A sorcerer who has promised to help him maintain his power and control over the kingdom."

Antorn's face was set in a determined expression. "We have to stop him," he said.

Lady Victoria nodded. "I agree," she said. "But we need to be careful. The king's allies are powerful, and they will stop at nothings to keep him in power."

Arthur's mind was racing with possibilities. He knew that they had to act quickly, but they also had to be strategic.

"We need to gather more evidence," he said. "Evidence that will prove the king's wrongdoing and bring him to justice."

Lady Victoria nodded. "I agree," she said. "And I think I know just the person to help us."

She smiled mischievously before continuing. "Follow me."

And with that, Lady Victoria led the three princes on a wild adventure through the castle, dodging guards and avoiding detection as they searched for the evidence they needed to bring the king to justice.

As they navigated the castle's corridors, they stumbled upon a group of guardsmen talking in hushed tones. Lady Victoria motioned for the princes to hide, and they quickly ducked behind a nearby tapestry.

The guardsmen were discussing a mysterious prisoner who was being held in the castle's dungeons. The prisoner was rumored to have information about the king's past, and the guardsmen were speculating about what that information might be.

Arthur's eyes locked onto Lady Victoria's. "Do you think this prisoner might be the key to unlocking the king's secrets?" he whispered.

Lady Victoria nodded. "I do," she said. "And I think we should try to find out more about this prisoner."

The princes nodded in agreement, and they quickly came up with a plan to sneak into the dungeons and gather more information about the mysterious prisoner.

As they made their way to the dungeons, they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. They knew that they were taking a huge risk, but they also knew that they had to uncover the truth about the king's past.

And so, with their hearts pounding in their chests, they crept into the dungeons, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead.
