Edward had no idea what was going on. After being captured, he was locked up in a small cell and given only small amounts of food once every two days.
Sometimes he was so thirsty that he wanted to drink his urine.
At first, he hoped against hope, but no news came.
The guards only brought food or water once every two days. He felt they simply wanted to keep him alive.
Edward had thought about killing himself, but seeing that he was not being tortured or mocked, he thought he might still have some negotiating power.
Perhaps some loyal men were planning his rescue.
After waiting in vain for more than a month, he started losing hope.
What he noticed during this time was that the harbor had become busier. He wondered what was going on.
Just then, the door to his cell was pushed open.
It had been two days since he was last given food, so he thought the person had come to bring it. Unexpectedly, after the door opened, the man did not drop the food as usual.
