Prince Damien's Pet
the Queen commanded, stepping back with a regal wave of her hand.
The executioner reached for the lever. The ropes swayed gently in the breeze, waiting to fulfill their grim purpose.
“Wait.”
The word rang out, commanding and firm. All heads turned toward the voice.
Prince Damien rose from his seat, his expression unreadable as he descended the steps. The Queen’s eyes narrowed, her lips pressing into a thin line as he approached.
“What are you doing, Damien?” she demanded.
He didn’t answer her. Instead, he stepped between me and the gallows, his tall frame blocking my view of the platform.
