The King's Chamber

You leap at the king, attempting to claw at his neck. He dodges and shoves you to the hard floor. He puts his booted paw on your throat.

"How dare you!"

He presses harder on your neck.

"I've dealt with assassins aplenty, but to be so cruel! To think I almost believed you."

You struggle to stand but you're beginning to weaken from lack of oxygen. 

"Now die, traitor."

The King presses even harder on your neck. You feel blood vessels burst and your windpipe collapse. You thrash on the ground, unable to breathe, before fading into oblivion.
