"And why should I. You are the one who dragged your poor children in this mess that you created."
As he said those words, he raise his hands ready to order the guards to take the children's life but before he could do that, Michaelson knelt on the floor.
"Your highness, please spare them. They are innocent."
The man intervened for his children. When he had sworn on his own family, he had not expected to find himself in such a predicament. If he would not speak the truth, then his children would die and if he would tell the truth, then he would lose his own life.
If it was anyone else who was in his children's position, he would have denied the truth but right now, his children were on the verge of crying. It would be hard for him to live with the guilt of being responsible for his own children's death.
