Chapter 919: All for your majesty
Chapter 919: All for your majesty
There was a look of disbelief in those wide open eyes, as if he couldn\'t believe that the second prince would actually kill him.
Even before they were king and prince, they were father and son.
He didn\'t believe that his own son would kill him like this...
But the fact that the king\'s head dropped to the ground with a splash of blood was a fact that couldn\'t be ignored. Everyone just stared in shock as the king\'s head was on the ground, that was except for the second prince.
Once he finished chopping off the head of the king, the second prince took a few seconds as if he was adjusting himself.
Then he turned around to look at the nobles and gave a nod to the royal guards that were holding them.
The royal guards came back to their senses when they saw this nod from the second prince. Even without an order from the second prince, the royal guards started to move.
This time, they made the nobles stand up and forced them forward as if they were bringing them into position.
The nobles had been dazed seeing the second prince chop off the king\'s head, but they didn\'t have the luxury to remain dazed when the royal guards started moving them. The moment that the royal guards laid their hands on the nobles, they knew that it was their turn after this.
They knew that unless they did something, they would be the next ones on the chopping block.
No, they were already on the chopping block.
They would be the next ones with their heads severed.
So they all started pleading with the second prince.
There wasn\'t a single person that cared about their pride as a noble at a time like this, the only thing that they cared about was their own life. They offered everything that they had in hopes of being spared.
It was just too bad that the second prince didn\'t show any signs of mercy.
Once the first noble was placed in front of him...
"Your majesty, I\'ll give you my family fortune, just..."
"Chop."
A single motion was all that it took for this noble to lose his head.
His mouth was still moving as if he wanted to say something, but there were no vocal cords to make any sound. His mouth just opened and closed like a dead fish, which was quite the appropriate way to describe how he looked.
The other nobles started pleading even more when they saw this noble being executed, but it was just too bad that the second prince didn\'t hear any of this.
He brought the next noble up and...
"Your majesty, my daughter is quite the beautiful girl...No, even my wife is a beautiful mature lady, if your majesty..."
"Chop."
Another chop and another noble\'s head came flying off.
It seemed that nothing that they said would move the second prince\'s heart.
The nobles that were at the end of the line realized this and they started looking around the room as if they were looking for something to save them.
Their eyes turned to Klein who was standing there watching all of this happen with a stunned look on his face.
There was a moment of silence before they started pleading with him.
"Sir Klein, I wish to defect!"
"Sir Klein, I will offer all my wealth to his majesty if you save me!"
"Sir Klein, I..."
They didn\'t hesitate to offer everything that they had, but Klein didn\'t fall for the bait.
He just silently watched all of this happen.
It wasn\'t just him, but the entirety of our group that had been watching in silence.
We had no idea what the second prince was planning, so we had been watching in silence to see just what he was going to do next.
However, the second prince didn\'t seem like he was planning to do anything other than execute the nobles.
He just continued to cut the heads of the nobles off until there wasn\'t a single one left.
When the last one was executed, he turned the axe upside down in his hand and slammed it down into the ground. The moment that he did, the blood that was on the axe dripped down and formed a large pool on the ground.
The second prince didn\'t even seem to care that his pants and shoes were splashed by this blood.
Instead, he turned to look at the head of the king that he had cut off.
Taking a deep breath, the second prince went over to the king\'s head and reached down towards it. He first reached for the eyes of the king that were still open and closed them before reaching up to take the crown off the head of the king.
The second prince just stood there with the crown in his hand, looking down at it as if he was
in a daze.
When I saw this, I immediately tensed up.
This was the moment that would decide everything.
This was the moment where the second prince would reveal everything and then take the crown for himself.
After all, he was in a situation where there was no one that would be able to stop him.
I wasn\'t the only one that thought that, as the rest of my guards all tightly gripped their weapons as if they were prepared to fight their way out of this.
Then all of a sudden, the second prince turned to face us.
That just made us even more tense, but we still waited to see what he was planning to do.
With slow steps, the second prince walked over in our direction with the crown in hand.
He didn\'t bring it to his head and just slowly walked over.
Once he was a few meters away, he suddenly fell to one knee and said, "To your new majesty, I offer the Midra Kingdom."
