*Clank Clank*
The hallway to the throne echoed with the sound of clanking armor. Knights of the royal order carries the airy and deposed knight - Dane to the king's chamber.
Dane: Let go of me, You rapscallions!
Dane yelled and kicked as she was dragged along the castle floor.
Knight: Quiet!
Dane: Pastrami! What is the meaning of this?
Pastrami: The king wishes to see you in his chambers.
Dane: Regarding what?
Pastrami: You're involvement in the assassination attempt and the princesses escape.
He answered.
Dane: I-I don't know what you are talking about.
Pastrami: Save it for the king.
Pastrami stopped at the door leading to ten king's chamber. Two Knights were guarding it and saluted him appropriately.
Pastrami: Open the door. I've done the king's command.
Regal Knight: Right, Sir.
They opened the door and saw caesar who was anxiously awaiting her on his throne.
Pastrami: I've brought Dane of the Regal Knights, Milord.
He bowed to his king.
Caesar: Yes. Thank you, Pastrami.
Dane: Your highness what is the meaning of this? I am a regal knight of the highest rank! You cannot put me in chains-
Caesar: Quiet! I do as I please.
He yelled as he stood up from his throne.
Caesar: You are going to answer for your involvement in the assassination attempt on my life and the princess alexia's escape.
Dane: P-Pardon? I don't really understand what you mean.
Caesar: Please don't play coy with me. We have confessions from Anemone and Her knights.
Caesar: - And we have a note detailing the plot and a map of the garden.
He pulled out the Notes and the crudely drawn map of the garden. Dane gasped at the newly found evidence.
Caesar: What do you have to say now?
Dane: T-That still doesn't prove, I knew about it!
She insisted.
Caesar: ….
Caesar opened the note and showed it to her. He specifically moved his finger along the line which said: "Dane will load and direct the musket to…"
Dane: M-Maybe that's a different d-dane…?
Caesar: Are you serious? Do you think I'm that stupid?
Dane: ….
Dane paused for a moment and gritted her teeth.
Dane: You know what? I don't have to justify myself to you! You're a traitor and a coward whose taken to rightful throne from the princess
She yelled loudly. Caesar was not fazed and merely smiled.
Pastrami: You shall not talk to the king in a such manner! Show respect.
Pastrami kicked her in the back of the head causing dane to fall forwards in a harmful manner, Blood began to ooze from her nose and face was slightly bruised. Caesar knelt down to dane and whispered in her ear:
Caesar: When we find your little "Princess." I'll make sure to kill you in front of her.
Dane: You're an evil bastard!
Caesar: Maybe so. But I can't wait to hear her screams when your head topples to the floor.
Caesar laughed.
Caesar: Take her away! I'll schedule her execution personally.
Knight: Yes sir!
The two knights from earlier carried dane away. Caesar shook his head callously and returned to sit atop his throne.
Caesar: Pastrami if you could-
Before he could even finish his sentence, another knight came bursting through the door!
Knight: M-Milord! Pardon the intrusion!
Caesar: What is it now!? Can't I ever get a rest with you idiots?
Knight: I'm terribly sorry! But it is in fact urgent news!
Caesar: *sigh* Let's hear it, then?
Knight: Our scouts have located the princess!
Caesar and Pastrami: …!
Caesar: Where? Tell me Now!
Knight: O-Outside of the city limits sir. She should be out the capital, meaning we can capture her with tinnish intervention!
Caesar and pastrami looked at each other. Caesar was excited but wary and needed some affirmation.
Pastrami: I can capture her, Milord.
Caesar: No,no. Alexia is crafty. I'll need someone a bit more… Ruthless.
Pastrami: Are you thinking of-
Caesar: Yes, Him….
Caesar's Mind wandered to thinking of, The cruel commander who could seal the deal.
