Eder's heart raced as Prince Frederick's question hung in the air. He couldn't believe that their attempt at sneaking past the fort had been thwarted so easily. His mind scrambled for a response, but before he could gather his thoughts, Sir Felix stepped forward, his voice steady and composed. "Your Highness," he began, his tone respectful yet confident, "we mean no harm. We are only refugees seeking safety and a chance for a better life. We humbly ask for your mercy and understanding."
" Mercy? The only Mercy I will show you is by not
killing you right now" The Third Prince replied coolly, turning his back on the intruders and addressing his soldiers " Bring them here unharmed. I wish to torture them slowly and painfully. I am particularly intrigued to know how these
people have come across our borders"
