Chieftain Senal cried out and tried to stop Emperor Wu's near suicidal attempt.
However, Emperor Wu was surprisingly calm.
"The roast meat is very nice. It's full of color, fragrance and taste. Chieftain, would you like to try some?" Emperor Wu handed him a skewer of meat.
Although that was a question, Emperor Wu was already stuffing the meat into Chieftain Senal's hands.
He wasn't asking for his opinion. It was a plain statement.
Chieftain Senal's heart sank.
Emperor Wu pressed harder when he saw him hesitate. "Come. Try one. It's really good."
Emperor Wu was the ruler of the empire, and Chieftain Senal was his subject, so of course he had to follow the order.
Fighting back his fear, Chieftain Senal took some meat with trembling fingers and stuffed it into his mouth despite his fear of death.
He wolfed it down in one bite.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Emperor Wu chuckled.
