"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!" cried out one of the warriors in black armor as he placed the blade of his sword against his own throat. Then he moved the blade forward in a slash, sending a shocking stream of blood through the air. The smell of blood slowly spread across the hall.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!" shouted another warrior very shortly after, taking out his sword and committing suicide on the spot as well.
Clatter, clatter, clatter. The sound of swords falling to the ground rang out as warrior after warrior crumbled.
Upon seeing Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen and Baili Han appear, everyone knew that this rebellion plan had utterly failed. The emperor's words were undoubtedly the greatest amount of grace he would show to them in this situation.
