The steward, Lidun, led the way with a torch.
The treasury of Iron Wall Castle was in a similar location to the one at Longship Castle. But as they rounded a corner, a spiderweb suddenly brushed against Leech's face.
He raised a hand, pulled the web from his face, and said, "It seems the Black King never came in here."
Leech didn't need the torchlight to clearly make out the layers of cobwebs in the corners, or the desiccated moths caught within them.
As Lidun walked by with the torch, the flame instantly burned a large hole through the webs.
The two of them stopped before an iron door.
Lidun tilted his torch to light a sconce by the treasury door, then handed the torch to Leech. "Yes, my lord. I don't think anyone has been here for at least a year."
Holding the torch in one hand, Leech used the other to push open the treasury's heavy doors.
