A scream escaped the mouth of the third prince as he cried for her.
“MOTHER, NO, MOTHER, NO, DON’T …” he kept screaming to anyone who would listen.
His eyes shook as they met his father. “There is no mercy for betrayal in the land of Ecruh.”
Khawar stood before his son; blood stains were still on his blade. Asad’s body shook as he stared at his father.
He knew what would come; next, he only had the chance of saying, “Father?” before the sword separated his head from his body.
The fear still stayed on his face. The hall became silent after a few gasping and screams from the ladies. The Queen buried the princess in her lap; her body shook, but she saw the whole thing. They watched as the bodies were covered in white clothes and taken away by the soldiers.
Ehsan was standing behind both of them, ‘Father was merciful.’
