"Do it". He taunted again.
Haze decided against any plans he had.
Better to stay put for now.
"Answer me boy!" The monarch snapped impatiently.
Haze looked at him, at his piercing black eyes.
What could he say?
He couldn't tell the monarch about the truth yet he couldn't think of a suitable excuse.
Should he say they were lost and stumbled into the snowy mountains by mistake?
The monarch would look at him disbelieving before asking.
Why then did you break out of prison and kill all my guards?
Would he say they were scared and had acted based on that fear.
After the first person had been killed, it had been a downward spiral from then on.
Should he say he killed all those people because he had to get his brother who was being tortured in a small room on the last floor.
The monarch most likely wouldn't believe anything he said.
There was no way out of this situation.
So Haze said nothing.
