Duke Ashvale and Margaretta soon arrived at the detention center.
These facilities were established in every major region and operated under the direct authority of the imperial palace.
Because of that, even the dukes had to obtain permission from the head of the detention center before they could enter for an inspection.
As they stepped inside, they were greeted by a woman dressed in formal black attire.
"Welcome, Duke Ashvale and Lady Margaretta. Are you here to visit Prince Cedric?"
Both of them were slightly surprised. They hadn't expected her to know the purpose of their visit.
"That's right. Could you take us to him?"
The woman gave a slight nod.
"Of course. Please follow me."
She led them to a special holding area not far away.
The detention center was divided into two levels. The first level was located underground and housed inmates convicted of serious crimes. It was heavily guarded.
The second level was on the ground floor, near the administration building.
