Chapter 16 - Part 16: Skinned and Crushed

Prince Cersi nodded. "They'll crush you. You and your people will be skinned alive." He said with confidence since Kingdom Singdon is one of the most powerful kingdoms along with de Bleu.

King Theon nodded. "Well then, we have another target." He laughed darkly. "So, who wants prince Cersi dead next?" He asked the townsfolk.

It didn't surprise King Theon that all of them raised their hands high. It determined the fate of the doomed prince.

"You people will be doomed. Just wait and see! My soul will never rest until you all die!" He yelled and laughed.

King Theon eyes the assassin who's in charge of holding down the prince. The assassin took this as a 'Listen and do it as cruel as possible.

King Theon cleared his throat and smiled at the prince. "Next in line to die is Prince Cersi. He even made interesting suggestions." He laughed while the prince froze in realization. "Assassin, he will be skinned alive. His limbs will be crushed. After that, put him in the guillotine and wait for my word."

The assassin nodded and took King Theon's dagger from the assassin who was in charge of the queen. The townspeople dared to watch the gore of their old prince being skinned alive. His screams were like loud sirens, echoing through the whole town.

The prince's limbs were crushed into pieces by two other assassins with mallets. King Theon smiled as the people had satisfaction in their eyes. It made him feel satisfied as well but not yet entirely. There's still the king de Bleu. King de Blue was forced to look at his son throughout the whole process. He was still in a chokehold and started to run out of air to breathe and his face started to turn purple.

Prince Cerci's blood was all over the wooden floors of the stage where the guillotine was placed. The blood went to the basket, to the clothes of the assassins, and to his father's knees.

King Theon remembered his father being stabbed in the back, literally. It was so unfair to his father to be treated that way.'I guess the prettiest flowers always get plucked first.' He thinks to himself.

After the prince was skinned and his bones were crushed, he was placed in the guillotine stocks. His skin was thrown into the river and the meat in his bones was showing. The prince was barely breathing but still alive. King Theon looked at the assassin who held the blade up and smiled.

The blade dropped and the birds started to fly away again. The people rejoiced and jumped around and noticed that all of the noblemen were now dead. Now, the only person alive is the king de Blue.

King Theon signaled the assassin to let king de Blue out of the chokehold. He was gasping for air and the sudden oxygen to his lungs made him fall to the bloody wooden floor of the guillotine's stage.

King Theon looked at the assassin. "I have no more to say to this man. All except...JUSTICE."

The assassin placed the dying king in the stocks and waited for King Theon's command. A snap of his fingers was audible, making the assassin drop the blade.

The people fell to the ground in great joy. They finally had justice and revenge with the help of king Theon. They cried with tears of joy and the others started to leave and head for the kingdom's gates along with the others. The sight of king de Blue's head was enough for them to realize that they are now free. They will have a better life.

'I have finally served you justice, father.' King Theon silently said to himself as he looked at the blue sky. "What a beautiful day for justice."
