Earlier in the day—-------
" Please, stop beating us! " The pursuers pleaded with the prince who retorted in an effort, " I can spare you, but you'll have to give me something in return. "
" Something in return? " The pursuers were confused about what the prince could want from them in return for sparing their lives.
One of the pursuers uttered. " What is it you want? "
Another followed soon after, " Ask us anything you want and once that's done, please let us go! "
Smirking at the pursuers, the prince said, " Sure I can do that, only if you can be of some use to me." Smirking even more, he uttered, " If you prove to me useless, then you'll have to meet your doom, I'm sorry! "
" No, no, anything but that. "
Facing their leader, they uttered, " We might not be able to be of much help to you, but our leader certainly will be, so please spare us! "
Staring at the pursuers, he uttered, " Alright, you may go! "
