"Princess Consort, I beg you, please plead with the Prince for us." Suddenly, the Fat Man's plump body dropped to the ground with a thud, and they could all feel the ground give a little tremor.
The Thin Man was hating iron for not becoming steel. This younger brother had been spineless since he was a child; whenever he ran into a life‑and‑death situation, he threw all principles aside and didn't care about his dignity.
"Fatty Brother, don't be like this. At worst, your big brother will die with you."
"Big brother, don't say that. Father is still waiting for us to go back! If we brothers die, what will happen to his remaining years?"
The Fat Man looked dejected as he knelt on the ground. No one saw that when he lowered his head, his small eyes flickered with a strange light.
They were halfway up a mountain peak. Down to the left was a river with a very swift current; last time, the Fat and Thin brothers had fallen into the river from here.
