A tragedy occurred today, but I am not allowed to mourn for him.
I was a knight loyal only to my kingdom, yet now I am nothing.
"He is disposed of." The words feel like ash in my mouth. It's not right to say it this way, like he's worthless waste.
"You let him go." He says upon his throne.
I bow low. My head touches the floor. But this means nothing but a ceremonial gesture.
No.
Any disloyal man will be disposed of with disgrace, even me.
"Any last words?" The executioner asks.
"To t̴̛̪̳̙͍̉͆he̶͓̟̬̻͔͍̔̐̒̉̋̍ g̵̙̰̞̦̘̪͌͑͗̎̿̓͑͜ͅl̷̨̛̟̟̰͎̓̂͛̈́̃̈͑̿̕o̸̡̦͎̱͒̅̇̿̔̽̕͝ͅr̵̡̝̤̮̝͚̟̝̋͗͒̂̚͘y̴̢̙̤̣̣͚̿́̈́̉̈́̇̏͗̈ ̷̫̲͚̦͔̘͊̈́̈́͘o̸̡͈̮̩̘͌̈́͛̇͌̕f Ḱ̵̢̨͓͉͔͓̰̖̝͌͂͗͑̉͊̌̌͝ḩ̶̨̧̝̗̖̮̎̑͋̄̌̑͘̕͝ae̷̗̙͑͆̇̾͗̀͒̕͝n̸̯͍̼̦͍͔͕̭̐̀͆͂̇̑̏̈́ͅr̸̨̎̃͐̽͌̃̓͝i̶͎͚̳̤̽̓̽̍͂̍͝'̵͔͓̻͔͉̜͚̯̞͚̄͑ă̵̙̺̲̹̞̠͚͜h̶̢̨͍͉͔̞̭͔̣̝̿̈̋́̇͒̇̅̕͠" he said,
But the words rang hollow.
