AS they arrived at teh prison the guard laughed once more. "You'll stay as long as we deem neccessary and if you try to escape, know that you'll be dead before you reach the gates. we have a constant guard of mages and assassins waiting for you to slip up. Hell if it wasnt for the queens benevolence i wouldve killed you myself." he explained as the vampire was put through processing.
