Somewhere Only We Know  

What: Curiosity consumes Cecilia as a hooded figure makes yet another regular visit to a secret room in the dungeon
Where: The dungeon of the Stave castle
When: Friday night

Cecilia's unjust imprisonment, Christoph unaware of the false crimes tacked to her name, left her to rot in the dungeon of the Stave castle. She was transferred from the Arcane prison after the castle was deemed unfit to be lived in even for the incarcerated. Here in the Emporer's third son's home her only source of entertainment was watching people out in the yard from her tiny window, watching mice and cockroaches scurry about the dirt floor of her cell, or trying to strike up conversation with the guards that watched her day in and day out.

Occasionally, though, in the dead of night she was able to witness what had become a weekly ritual. A hooded figure would appear and make his or her way to (and then through) a hidden passageway in the dungeon. The hooded figure was never in there, whatever lied beyond the secret door, longer than an hour but Cecilia's curiosity about what was going on grew with each visit.
