Javier slowly opened the door and stepped out.
"Prince Javier!" Captain Bargus moved forward. "We need to get those spies out of there now!"
Javier looked at the captain, then glanced over the gathered Armand Elite Guards.
"Hmm? It's already too late, isn't it?"
"But…" The captain glanced toward the door. "What will His Majesty say?"
"Don't worry about it. I'll explain to Father why I sent them to Bernard." Javier smirked. "But… if any of you want to 'rescue' them… go ahead. Ehehee… I'm not responsible for anything that happens."
The Armand guards swallowed hard, eyes flicking toward the sealed door.
From inside came a muffled sound, wet, abrupt. Followed by a hysterical scream from the other spies who'd just watched something horrible inside.
Javier dug his pinky into his ear casually, glancing back at the captain.
"You all know why Bernard was spared and given this job, right?"
The elite guards shifted uncomfortably. Javier continued, voice calm.
