The Crown Prince froze entirely. His heartbeat instantly accelerated. Cold sweat formed across his back.
"You…"
His voice trembled slightly.
"What are you doing?"

Real fear.
Not fear of punishment.
Not fear of politics.
But fear of death itself.

"S-Sorry…"
Noah withdrew the dagger without another word.
Then he simply walked away.
