"Why, sir, for my part I say the gentleman had drunk himself out of his five senses"

-        The Merry Wives Of Windsor: Act 1, Scene 1, Willian Shakespeare

Antonius dropped the blood dripping head on the table and stared at Yuri kneeling down there in disbelief. "You killed Nikolas?" 

Yuri's body shook as he stared back remaining complete silent. 

Antonius raised his voice. "Nikolas contributed the most towards us taking this God damn city, and I have not awarded him with any thing yet, now you are telling me that you have chopped his head off and even bringing it to me?! What kind of nonsense is this!" 

Yuri retorted staring back with his bull's eyes. "Say no more, admiral, I shall just follow the rules and compensate this maggot with my own head!" 

"Okay! That is what you said! Guards! Drag Yuri out of the palace, and execute him in the forum showing his head in front of every person!"
