Ara’s Betrayal

"Wait, don't take her tongue out." Kael decided after a beat.

"Thank you for your kindness your highness—"

"if she is going to tell everyone what the punishment is for trying to harm the princess she will need to have her tongue." Kael interrupted Cara's gratitude.

She gasped as sweat broke out on her forehead and she shrank back from the king but was unable to go too far because the guards were directly behind her stopping her progress.

"I want you to take away all of those fingers that she used to try to harm the princess and make sure you do it where the rest can see her." He instructed and watched blankly as Cara was dragged out while she screamed and kicked and tried to beg for mercy but to no avail.

He felt nothing for her and was willing to make use of her to send a clear message to anyone who thought of insulting or harming Naiari in the future.
