"Arrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhh!" The Crown Prince's agonized cries echoed throughout the hall, startling General Wang Dahui and the royal guards.
"What are you doing to His Majesty!?" General Wang shouted in alarm as the royal guards quickly aimed their rifles at the man in the owl mask.
"Arghh... Ugh… sob… please… please make it stop!" The Crown Prince's cries turned into desperate sobbing as he thrashed on the ground. Meanwhile, the man in the owl mask watched the scene unfold with a twisted sense of amusement, as though entertained by the spectacle.
Seeing this, General Wang's voice grew sterner. "I'll ask you again… what are you doing to His Majesty?" he demanded, pointing his gun at the man in the owl mask.
"I didn't do anything to him… really," the man replied nonchalantly.
"Are you expecting me to believe that!?" General Wang snarled, pressing the muzzle of his gun against the man's head at point-blank range. But then—
Slash!
