"Haaa… I knew he did it. The Second Prince really committed something despicable by trying to murder the High Prince. Is he that hungry for the throne?" said a man, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Wait, doesn't that mean the Second Prince might also be involved in the High Prince's assassination attempt?" his wife asked, realization dawning on her face.

"Hmmm! You're right. It seems the Second Prince has dug himself into a deep mess," the man responded, shaking his head in pity.

The guards instantly surrounded Prince Bran, chaining and dragging him into the air.

"FATHER!! PLEASE, FATHER!! IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I WAS DECEIVED!" Prince Bran screamed at the top of his lungs, struggling against the chains in a desperate plea for his life.
