Everything for the throne

The atmosphere in the court was tense and somber. The people present held their breath, cautiously observing the figures standing before them, as if afraid to disrupt the conversation unfolding.

The throne was empty, and the man who was supposed to occupy it stood facing his loyal knight, pointing his sword at her. The great Emperor Alexandr asked in disbelief,

Alexandr: Why?

Alexandria: Everything for the throne.
She had clearly prepared this answer.

Emperor Alexandr questioned himself, Alexandr: I provided you with my name, a home, status, money, land - everything you requested. Why did things unfold like this? This outcome was beyond my imagination.

Alexandria stepped forward, allowing the sword to pierce her chest.

Alexandria: You slaughtered my people, yet I remained loyal to you, fought against our enemies, and took the lives of thousands on your behalf. Despite my own culpability, I stood by your side.

She said, spitting blood.
The Emperor was helpless, holding her in his arms

Alexandria: Everything... for... the... throne...

Despite the blood that now covered the ground like water, Alexandria's eyes still sparkled like stars in the night sky. With the last of her strength, she whispered,

Alexandria: I... loved... you.

The Emperor was speechless. He knelt on the ground, holding his knight tightly in his arms until he felt her slip away. Gently, he laid her body back down on the blood-soaked floor. Slowly, he rose to his feet, sword in hand, and made his way to the throne.

As he sat upon the seat of power, the Emperor looked out at the people in the court, who were still processing the shocking events that had just unfolded before them.

Suddenly, a few individuals dressed in royal knight attire burst into the room. They were met with a horrifying sight as they ran towards the lifeless body lying on the ground. One of them shouted at the Emperor, who sat on the throne with dark, cold eyes.

Royal Knight Michael: She was falsely accused... she was the most loyal of all... she was willing to sacrifice her life for you... today, you reign as the great emperor of the four kingdoms because of her... yet you...

He choked up, unable to speak further, tears streaming down his cheeks incessantly.

The nobles and ministers in the court raised their voices.
Minister: She confessed to her unlawful act, and the ruler imposed the consequence that was appropriate for her offense. Long live the Emperor!

The court resounded with praise for the Emperor's perceived impartial judgment.
However, the Emperor remained emotionless, devoid of any feeling, as he sat there gazing at the lifeless body of his beloved knight.
