The King's Command

You just killed Caitlyn instead of Lady Myrr. Killing her now would mean Caitlyn died for nothing.

“I’m sorry,” you mumble and offer a hand to help her up.

She grabs your hand and allows you to pull her up.

“So this is what you’ve become? An apologizing, weak shell of a man. I thought we were fit to rule Miranna together. We were going to rule the seas! But I guess I was wrong. The ruler of Miranna apologizes to no one,” Lady Myrr replies.

Her hidden blade pierces your stomach.

“You may be deadly with a sword, but it takes more than that to rule here. You have to be cunning. You have to be smart. You must be willing to do whatever it takes with no remorse. You obviously are not fit for this life. It’s a shame really. You have taught me many things in the past few weeks. Think of this as my lesson to you.”

Overtaken by grief and surprise, you don’t even fight back. Lady Myrr pierces the blade deeper before ripping it out. She departs, leaving you bleeding out on the floor. The last thing you see before you die is Caitlyn’s body on the floor. You feel disgusted by your actions before finally feeling nothing.
