"What did you say?!" The Empress questioned with both disbelief and rage. Even his fists were clenched tightly causing the veins in them to pop. One look alone was enough to see that the Empress is harboring endless rage in his body
"T-the first Prince is assassinated, Y-Your Majesty. P-please f-forgive our incompetence!" the man reported. This alpha is one of the guards that were tasked to protect the 1st Prince though all of them failed to do so
With his low status in the Empire, he does not have enough qualifications to meet the Empress. However, this Knight volunteered to be the one that would report the Prince's death to the Empress
The person that is tasked to do this would have a higher risk of dying and no one was willing to do this. After all, although all the guards are at risk of death, as long as the orders to execute them was still not given, there is still a chance that they would be able to retain their lives
