You get a visit from the tattooed woman

Not long after Mia left you another woman shows up. It is the other witch you suggested to be Keylaras apprentice. She walks towards the dungeon and bangs her fist against every cell.

“Wake up, ugly bastards,” the witch screams loud, “enough dreaming. We have work for you. Everyone of you is assigned to a duty or as a personal **** to one of the elite soldiers. There is a list at the entrance of the dungeon. Laziness will be punished.”

The witch, unlocks the cells with her magic. Everyone hurries to get to work. Nobody is ready to risk punishment.

“You there, bookworm” the witch says to the head of scholars, “seems like you are my personal assistance. Great. Another egghead. Why do I always get the old slaves. You will call me mistress Kryptia. Just try to shut your mouth and do what I say. I have to research dream-magic. And I can use a helping hand. If I hear a single word about demons or unholy magic I will immediately toast your wrinkled balls. Do you understand me?”

“A-as you wish, mistress” the head of scholars stumbles and gets out of the cell.

“You there, noble insect,” Kryptia says to you, “the great mistress, Keylara the dark, demands your services. But she is a very busy woman. So you have time until afternoon to show up. You can move free towards the castle until you decide to see her. Just stay out of the elite soldiers businesses.”

So it seems that you can decide by yourself what you want to do. You can use this chance to build up relationships with the elite soldiers or search for helpful information. Or you can act as a good **** and please your mistress to avoid punishment.
