Episode 14: Intuition Doesn't Lie

"As you know, the penalty for any attempt to take my product from under my nose is severe. Did you consider that before crossing me?"

"Master, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be able to feed and provide for my family" cried the desperate Pawniard.

"...by stealing from me? When you could've just asked for my assistance. Have I not shown you benevolence?"

"Master, you must understand. Gaining an audience with you is not easy to do. You're tasked with running this facility. Please you must understand!"

A Bisharp guard then addressed his master.

"Lord Kingambit, how should we proceed?"

"Kill him."

"As you command, my liege."

"BUT MASTER, PLEASE YOU MUST UNDERSTAND! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! MY FAMILY!" screamed Pawniard before Kingambit and his audience.

"Give him to Salazzle. Let her deal with this mess for me."

"As you command, Lord Kingambit."

                                ---

"Well, look what the Delcatty dragged in" hissed Salazzle frothing from the mouth with lustful excitement. "A new plaything."

The terrified Pawniard winced in fear and whispered "plaything?"

"YES. Plaything. We're going to have some fun. I'm going to ask you why you were trying to steal from the boss."

"H-how do you know it was even me?!"

Salazzle waltzed to her computer and turned her monitor to face the Pawniard who was chained to the wall by his arms and legs.

"Lord Kingambit keeps receipts. This is a taping of your 'audience' with him. Did you not already admit guilt in trying to feed your family? Our lord's intuition doesn't lie."

"Lady Salazzle, please you must have mercy. You must have a heart! My children!"

"Oh, I have a heart. Which is why I asked our Lord to spare your family but they'd still have to figure out how to fend for themselves. You, however, must be dealt with."

Salazzle than conjured a Flame Whip and pressed the flaming handle against Pawniard's chest."

"I wanna make some liquid metal. Do you wanna be a good boy and help me, honey?"
