A devastating kick landed squarely between Orion's legs.
The king's face instantly turned pale.
His entire body froze.
"ARGHHHHHH!"
A pained scream echoed throughout the hall.
Orion immediately doubled over and collapsed onto his knees, both hands clutching himself as tears gathered in the corners of his eyes.
Are you okay?!" Orion asked, terror evident in his voice as he quickly helped Finn to his feet. Without wasting a second, he pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood splattered across Finn's face.
"Is he okay?" the Queen Mother asked anxiously as she hurried closer. Consort Sasha and Evelyn followed behind her, worry written all over their faces.
"I knew she was dangerous, Your Majesties," Prince Kaelith said coldly. "My apologies for startling everyone. I'll have her body taken away immediately, and the punishment of beheading will still stand. Her family will also be punished. Or does His Majesty have another punishment in mind for her?"
