They had originally planned to take the emperor somewhere safer. Unfortunately, they'd stumbled into this scene during their hasty exit, leaving them all frightened and speechless. The young emperor, having witnessed the whole thing, was shivering nonstop. He couldn't stop the flood of tears pouring down his face.
