- Laith Taher 167
By noon, as soon as Adrian arrived at Cintana, Prince
Harlem ordered the immediate transfer of Adrian to an
underground cell designed to detain prisoners. Next to it
was a large hall designed to torture them.
Once Adrian was transferred to that dirty
underground cell, Harlem went there.
He approached the bed in the cell where Adrian sat
surrounded by soldiers. “Tie him to the chair in the middle
of the room.”
A fat, tall, bald, and fair soldier with orange hair
and short black moustache approached. He grabbed Adrian,
put him in the chair in the hall that was designed for
torture, and tied his hands to the arms of the chair and his
legs to the legs of chair.
The prince approached Adrian and put his head next
to Adrian’s head. “You call yourselves the Prouds? Isn’t
that right?”
He started shaking his head gloating. “Who is your
master, Adrian?”
The gloating prince wanted to humiliate the Prouds
by any means possible. Therefore, he wanted to humiliate
Adrian as much as possible, as killing one man without
humiliating him would not harm the Prouds much but
humiliating him meant a lot to them.
With the extreme calm and courage, he was known
for, Adrian replied, “My master is Addison, the master of
the Prouds... he is my only master.”
The prince shook his head and moved it away from
Adrian.
