A painful whimper escaped from the king's mouth when he felt the sharp side of the sword cutting some skin around his neck when Claudius pushed his sword even closer.
"C-Claudius… ngh!" Augustine groaned in pain and quickly raised his hand to touch his neck as he widened his eyes when he found blood left on that hand.
His neck was bleeding.
He was about to open his mouth to talk again and try to calm the crown prince down but the latter furrowed his eyebrows in both confusion and anger when his eyes landed on that dagger that was on the king's waist.
He glared at Augustine immediately with anger clear in his eyes as he pushed his sword even closer without caring about the cut which he caused on the king's neck and which also was bleeding and yelled at him " You have a dagger on you. Why aren't you using it?"
" Claudius, please calm down." This is everything the king said after he hid that dagger with his coat.
