A Few Months Later...
You pace back and forth in front of the Royal Family of the neighboring kingdom that you just took over.
"You dared to challenge me!" You says to the former King. "Now you will suffer!"
But despite your threats the King continues to look at you with an air of defiance and superiority. His arrogance is beginning to rub on your last nerve.
He says. "I am not afraid of death!"
"Oh but who said I was going to kill any of you?" You respond with a grin on your face. "You see, I admire you and your family's determination, and I figured that it would be a waste to simply kill all of you."
