Bang!
The screech of iron bars slamming shut echoed through the prison.
"Please wait patiently, Your Highness. Once we receive word from headquarters, we will transfer you to the capital prison," the warden said indifferently.
Nolan stood calmly and said nothing.
After the warden left, he was left completely alone.
The prison cell was quiet and suffocating. Since it was a private prison, there were no other inmates—only him.
"Huh…" Nolan let out a long sigh and slowly sat down on the floor.
He turned slightly to the side—or rather, toward his shadow—and asked calmly, "What do you think?"
Buzz!
A beam of light appeared, and Malverna's figure emerged from it.
She glanced around with a mocking gaze before turning to Nolan.
"No comment," she replied casually. "On the contrary, what do you think? Why were you thrown in jail right after returning from that kingdom?"
Although her tone sounded natural, a hint of sarcasm lingered beneath it.
