The Eldest Prince and Second Prince immediately fell silent. They just lay limply on the ground, slowly processing the news.
They had done too many terrible things. So many, in fact, that they felt dazed, as if it had all happened a lifetime ago, done by someone else.
When they committed those acts, they hadn't thought much of them. They only felt a thrill, devoid of any humanity. But now, with their deeds proclaimed for all to hear, they felt the eyes of the crowd on them and wished they could bury themselves in the dirt.
'But they still clung to a sliver of fantasy in their hearts. After all, they were the Eldest and Second Princes of the Guiping Beast Country. Even if their cultivation was gone, their father would surely think of them and send someone to rescue them. And what's more, there was their doting Mother. She would never abandon them.'
'At worst, they would lose their chance at the Beast King's throne, but they could still live as carefree, happy Princes!'
