He turned and crawled toward Robin .

General Ramsey Kieran is blind , hes an idiot ! Please , have mercy on him .

Spare him … Robin scoffed , Dont beg me .

I dont forgive , General Ramsey , Ill make it right .

Ill provide all the compensation you want … Before Burt could finish , the sharp crack of a gunshot cut through the air .

Kierans skull was torn open by a violent bullet , blood spilling onto the floor .

The room fell into stunned silence , the screams of horror fading into an eerie stillness .

The younger members of the royal family stood frozen , staring at Kierans lifeless body , visibly shaken .

Kieran , the Southmere Scoundrel , had met his end at the hands of his own grandfather .

Burts mournful cries echoed through the room , his voice breaking .

Lord Southmere stood over his grandsons body , his gaze cold .

His body trembled , but he didnt flinch .

He turned slowly , as if in a daze .

He handed the smoking gun to Mr.

Josington , then raised his arm without a word .

Four of Lord Southmeres guards stepped forward , removing Kierans body and Burt from the room .

The onlookers watched as the lords figure retreated .

In that moment , it seemed as though he had aged years before their eyes .

Jayden watched his old friend , whom he had often clashed with over the years .

His lips twitched , but no words of comfort came .

Skylar , still in shock , took a long time to process what had just happened .

Kieran was dead .

Rhett had spent the day carrying out executions .

Skylar , I need to ask you something .

Why did you leave your hometown ? Skylar hesitated , My lord , you know why .

I left because , in a fit of rage .

It was you , my lord , who saved me .
