Chapter 12 - Part 12: Who's Next?

"I'll get you for this. You'll pay for what you've done!" Prince Cersi shouted, trying but failing to get out of the assassins' hold.

King Theon raised a brow at the prince. "Giving the people you've enslaved to have a second chance in life...is a bad thing?" He chuckled. "Not killing the innocent...is also a bad thing huh? Maybe you are that guilty."

King Theon nodded to himself, approving his own train of thought to be correct. He then remembered the poor girl and got confused when he saw her leaning on him. It made him...feel wrong. Maybe it's because she was tired from her family's bullshit. He nodded again, confirming this thought to himself being true.

King Theon cleared his throat. "Head of Imperion assassins, Sir Norix, will you be a dear and go back to the kingdom with the tired princess." Sir Norix brushed the hair off of young Clara's face that made king Theon very...uncomfortable. "I see you're fond of her. When you get back, treat her like she's your wife...wait...no...treat her like she is your sister."

King Theon fidgeted with his fingers as he sees his head Imperion soldier carry the young princess in his arms. 'Is there something wrong with me right now?' He shook his head and looked back at the remaining people in the ballroom. 'I'll have that checked up with the royal doctor later.' he advised himself.

"Please. Let me go with her. I'll do whatever you want." Sir Hosa pleaded.

King Theon smiled. "Oh. I almost forgot about you." He chuckled. "Take him to the dungeons first. We'll initiate a deal later. Don't worry about your princess, she'll be alive."

"But the assassins-"

King Theon looked at him with annoyance. "If Sir Norix can handle fire-breathing dragons, I'm sure he can handle a little princess-Ugh! Why am I even arguing-" he scoffed and said with defeat "Just take him to the dungeons."

All of them watched Sir Hosa leave and King Theon clapped his hands with great enthusiasm.

"So..." He started. "Who's ready to die?"

The crowd was silent.

King Theon laughed brightly. "Come on, folks. Don't be like that."

"Where's...my dear Clara?" The third prince was starting to recover from head trauma.

King Theon smiled. "Oh. Your sister is gone."

The third prince laughed maniacally. "No...my Clara. I haven't even committed my greatest crime towards her..."

"That is?" King Theon asked in curiosity.

Prince Gilbert looked at King Theon with his eyes filled with psychopathy and delusion. "Consummation-ghh!"

King Theon looked at prince Gilbert coldly in the eyes. With King Theon's dagger, he stabbed Prince Gilbert right in the heart, looking at him with a deathly stare that alone could kill him.

"Women are respected in my kingdom." King Theon proudly said. "That will include your sister." He pulled out the dagger from prince Gilbert's heart. "Inbreeding is a sin...unforgivable. It's your one-way ticket to hell." He whispered silently to the prince.

Everyone was shaken to the point where they can't speak. First reason being the filthy intentions of prince Gilbert. Second, witnessing his death, and third...

King Theon laughed darkly as the King, queen, princes, and noblemen watch Prince Gilbert bleeding to death. He asked with enthusiasm while, smiling widely while holding his blood-coated dagger. He asked them plainly "Who's next?"
