Preface

Part 2/2

・❥・

In the Emerald kingdom, the citizens are cherished and praised. For the most part, they tend to live a peaceful life. They are often heard out by high officials about any problems they have. On the flip side, those who commit crimes in this land are punished savagely, depending on severity. The kingdom has a reputation to be terrifyingly unforgiving once heinous crimes are committed, and through this they have been able to maintain a balance of peace.

Many avenues have been created to punish prisoners, allowing for creative torment. Some include executions, excruciating abuse, public shame, and many other barbaric punishments. It's safe to say that they don't take lightly to violations or offenses. They do however place any of the accused through trails to make sure that whatever they are accused of, can be proven true.

Although the King and his family go through each trails paperwork to approve punishments, it's rare that they participate in them.

Today however, young Prince Diego needs to let out some steam.

Following the tough confrontation he experienced, he needed to make sure his trainings haven't failed him all these years while also releasing his anger in a way where he could let himself be free in whatever cruel act he wanted to commit.

Stomping over to the prison building, he has one person in mind he'd like to release his irritation on. It was a sadistic man proven to have assaulted woman in his own family, even causing the deaths of two of them. Evidence had been found in a cellar he built under his home where he raped and tortured the women. His ultimate sentence is death.

In spite of the fact that his fate was awaiting him in a matter of days, Prince Diego felt it fairly to give him a taste of what it'd be like to near death. Luckily for the prisoner, he was a trained soldier in his past life. Diego needed this type of man to practice on. The goal was to make the prisoner feel like death was bliss compared to what the young Prince would do to him.

With every stride he made to the prison, he left a trail of burning fire pumping with aversion.

And finally, the Prince made it to the cell that held the vile man.

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a small key he picked up on the way inside the prison and creaked open the cell door. In the darkness, the man sat looking down at his lap. The noise of the door opening causes him to tilt his head up, eyes flashing with curiosity. He smirks once he realizes who has come to visit him.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" The man slurs out as Diego slowly makes his way inside the cell.

An eerie silence falls upon them, but both of them don't seem to be phased at all. The Prince creaks the cell door closed and begins to take off his blazer, only to then reach into the inside pockets and pull out a pair of black gloves. Slipping them on, he then kicks the blazer to the side cracking his knuckles. The miniature amount of moon light that seeped into the room was their only guidance.
