An strangled scream resounded throughout the dungeon walls as it alerted almost everyone within the vicinity especially the guards.
They rushed into the dungeon and traced the sound of the scream.They finally turned a corner and they were met with a scene that drained the colour out of their faces.
Behind his highness was a woman whose face was covered by a cloak, a sickle was plunged into her neck as black molten blood flowed from the wound, her heart wasn't beating neither could they hear any breathing sounds.
In his highness's arms lay Princess Euphoria with a battered dress. Her right rib area was visibly swollen and so was her left arm. Her breathing sounded slow and painful.
"Your highness, w-what happened?"
One of the guards finally summoned the courage to ask.
