Giant Stone City, Dungeon.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Heavy footsteps echoed through the dark corridor.
The sound was slow and rhythmic.
The dungeon air was damp and cold, walls covered with moss.
The torchlight cast flickering shadows on the walls.
Deep in the dungeon, the Eldest Princess sat on the cold stone bed.
The armor she once wore was long removed, replaced by a somewhat stained linen gown.
Her hair was a bit disheveled, yet her back was still straight, eyes sharp.
Upon hearing the footsteps, the Eldest Princess stood up and quickly walked to the iron bars.
"You don't need to try persuading me, I will never bend to Luo De."
Her voice was firm, her face full of defiance, "The Shuiyan Royal Family has never feared death..."
The words suddenly halted.
At the end of the corridor, a familiar figure appeared in the firelight, followed by a tall White Wolf.
"Long time no see, Atrey."
The deep voice echoed in the dimness.
"Uncle Ola, aren't you..."
