The man let out a blood-curdling scream, causing the door behind me to be broken through, allowing two servants of Wu to infiltrate my room and raise their long spears toward me.
"I'm only defending myself," I smiled, my eyes slowly trailing to their master behind them. "Now leave me alone. I have to question why this man tried to kill me."
"Huh? You almost got assassinated? But why? You aren't that famous…." Wu muttered, but upon further thought, she let out a long groan. "Are you serious… well… okay, do what you want, but just don't kill him. We'll execute him tomorrow just to appease the people and strike fear into the hearts of any traitors… possibly moles."
"Whatever you want, princess,"
And as the woman left, the man below me violently shook his head from side to side, unable to speak as he manically choked on his saliva.
