The Knight of Chivalry

Chapter 19

The night in the cell wasn’t too bad for Simon and he stretched when he woke up and walked around the cell for a bit, waiting. The guards came for him and slapped him in chains again and they pushed him forwards. They took him for a few different corridors and they came to another room, inside he saw it was full of torture devices that were covered in old blood. There was already two people in the room, one really vicious looking one and another who was older and more refined. The guards pushed him into the chair in the centre of the room and attached his arms into the chains that were behind it.

            “So you are the assassin responsible for taking out my captains?” The old man asked.

            “That I am and you are the general in charge of the castle” Simon said.

            “That’s a good guess and that I am, why kill my captains?” The general asked.

            “Because they were cruel men who deserved to die” Simon replied.

            “Usually people don’t give us such straight forward answers and we have to persuade them” the general said.

            “Well there is no point in hiding the truth now that I am captured” Simon replied.

            “But you disappoint me and Sebastian, he so long to put his skills to use to make you squeal” the general said.

            “I’m sure he does and I’m sorry about that but I don’t fancy squealing right now” Simon replied.

            “So who employed you to kill the captains?” The general asked.

            “No one did” Simon replied.

            “I don’t believe you, looks like Sebastian gets to use his talents after all” the general said and the vicious man smiled and hit Simon in the face. It hurt quite a bit but Simon knew there was going to be a lot worse to come. He was hit a couple more times and this made his lips and nose bleed.

            “Ok that’s enough for now, want to give me a truthful answer now?” The general asked.

            Simon spat out blood and then grinned “Ok I was really hired by god to end these men, they had broken the lords will and needed to be sent to hell.”

            “Looks like we have a bit of a joker asking for more, work on his body this time” the general said and Sebastian nodded and did as he was told punching to the chest, arms, legs and groin area. This hurt quite a bit but it was nothing to Simon who didn’t shout in pain at all whilst Sebastian worked him over. After about five minutes of this the general tapped Sebastian on the shoulder and he stopped his hitting, his knuckles were bloody raw from all the hitting.

            “You ready to talk now?” The general asked.

            “Depends on the topic, if it’s something interesting I’ll be happy to talk if not I might not have too much to contribute” Simon replied.

            “You really are a big joker aren’t you, you want use to start using some torture devices on you?” The general asked.

            “Well I’m not really into that, I don’t judge you if you are but it’s just not my thing” Simon replied.

            “We’ll see if you are in suck a joking move after we are done with you, use the finger breaker” the general said.

            “Trust me you don’t want to do this it will only end badly for you” Simon said.
