GETTING Emperor Nero— no, Prince Nero— mad was a bad idea.
Lewis belatedly realized that after getting stabbed by hundreds of ice daggers all over his body.
He thought he could avoid them, but this Prince Nero's ice daggers were different.
Poison.
Each ice dagger was laced with poison.
[Why is the Prince Nero of this world using poison? The Emperor Nero and Princess Neoma I know aren't a fan of that method.]
It was too late to wonder about that, though.
Lewis lost consciousness because he had been careless.
When he opened his eyes, he was already imprisoned.
Judging by the structure of that cell, he could tell that he was in the basement prison under the Blanco Palace— the Crown Prince's residence.
[They took away my sword and most of my clothes.]

Lewis turned to his "visitor."
