The guards turned around after realizing that Ning had already run away and their Emperor was in trouble. They moved to attack but their Emperor was in between, and thus they had to stop.
"I don't really care that you killed me," Ning spoke to the man. "I was bound to die from the beginning anyway."
"I started this adventure to live how a normal person would go through the same problems an ordinary man would," Ning said. "I will say I didn't exactly start at the bottom like a normal man, but I still liked my adventure. An adventure that I knew would come to an end someday."
"I just… didn't expect it to come to an end this soon."
"I'm not angry with you or anything for killing me. That was part of the adventure too," Ning said as he looked around at the people that stared at him. "But… even after all that, even after I told you that I would kill you if you attacked, you still let your greet take over you."
