Chapter 703 - 703: Troubled Soul
The deeper Leo ventured into the castle, the better his understanding of the overall chaotic situation became.
Apparently, the most tumultuous areas within the castle currently were the four main diagonal halls that connected every corner of the palace.
These passageways had become a battleground, as the majority of snakes had emerged through sewer vents leading to the castle's bathrooms, a majority of which opened into these four main connecting hallways.
A smaller number of snakes had surfaced from pipes connected to kitchen sinks, remote taps, and other isolated outlets, but the concentration of chaos remained firmly centered in these diagonal corridors due to the sheer volume of toilets located there.
In contrast, the smaller hallways connecting individual rooms were relatively less affected. However, with the constant screams and battles raging throughout the castle, most guards had abandoned their posts, leaving their assigned positions unguarded, providing Leo with ample opportunity to sneak past their posts unnoticed.
Using [Vanish], he slipped past watchful eyes with ease, while Dumpy, now in his tiny frog form, was practically invisible to anyone not actively
He, or someone under him sends men down here to rape me on the regular.
Although I'm a man… I'm drugged, raped and stripped of my dignity on the regular…..
I'm a fucking prince, yet I'm fed dog-food and forced to pee in a jar.
I-I don't want to live this life. I was wrong to kill my father, but I don't deserve to live like this… I would rather die!" Nathan said, as bringing his own neck to the blade, he slashed it on his own free will rather than Ben doing the job.
*SPLAT*
Blood splattered all across the prison cell, as the shallow wound that Nathan inflicted on himself was not clean enough to grant him a clean death.
*Gag*
*Cough*
Gagging and Coughing blood, Nathan struggled on the floor as Ben looked on with pity.
"Fool—" Ben said, as he bent over and granted Nathan a quick death, severing his arteries completely so that he did not have to suffer anymore.
It was one of the most unexpected deaths that Ben had ever witnessed, as he had never seen a royal as broken as Nathan.
Ben could still remember this kids intelligent eyes back at the master's banquet less than a year ago, however, a lot seemed to have changed since.
"While I don't think his brother the Emperor would be aware of what's happening down here, I'm sure there's someone within the castle who took out their frustrations with the royal family on poor Nathan…." Ben said, as just for a moment, he felt genuine pity for the troubled soul he just killed.
