When it reached midnight he emperor stepped into the royal prison unannounced to check on what the guards were doing and he was not even surprised to see them lazing around near a table as they played cards. They finally noticed his presence as their eyes darted to the dragon pattern on his clothes and immediately fell on their knees trembling. Perhaps, they were even dreaming but they didn't want to take a chance nonetheless. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"It seems you all are tired. The night is getting cold after all." The emperor commented on their fearful forms as he passed them and entered deep within the cell. Dai Jie who followed his trail immediately brought out his sword and killed every single one of them before he followed his master.
