The guards were caught unexpectedly. They were not expecting the prince who had great respect for the king to talk in this manner, behind him. However, their jaws fell apart when the king entered the cell.
"I am here, son. As I thought, you seem to have grown scales."
Prince Rex knew what he meant but he didn't even care to apologise for his choice of words, instead, he immediately attacked him, "Your Majesty, I am very sure you know what happens if I go close to that chair, let alone sit on it for a good two weeks? Would I even be able to survive those days?"
The king gave the guards a sign and they excused father and son.
