Though Eryn had been imprisoned in the Duke’s mansion, she was still able to move around the premises. However, that didn’t mean that she was free to do as she wished, as her presence was closely watched by the numerous maids and guards that worked throughout the area.

However, the girl could care less about that, having been imprisoned in this room against her will. Eryn looked
