The Cleaning

Red.

The bloody red is everywhere.

At the dungeon to be precise.

The maids' cries can be heard for a while until the sound stopped. Forever.

Duke. Duchess. Marquess. Marchioness. Earl. Countess. Viscount. Viscountess. Baron. Baroness. Commoners.

All people who have been found to create a conspiracy that may lead to rebellion.

They all died.

Even his own cousin.

That day, the sound of people wailing, asking for help can be heard.

That night, the scent of smoky flesh can be smelled.

The next day, the sound stopped. All that is left: their ashes.

The kingdom has been polluted with smoke due to the body being incenerated.

No one mourned for the dead.

As all of them are busy thinking about themselves.

It all started when 'he' died.

The previous king.

Leaving the throne to his only son.

His only ruthless son.

King Kaiser.
