Craig froze.

His swollen left cheek seemed to have dampened his air of regality.

He bore a striking resemblance to Charles. The feature that separated them was the color of their eyes.

Charles’ eyes, piercing blue like sapphires, made him look like a foreign prince. He was handsome with an air of mystery about him.

Craig’s eyes, on the other hand, were dark brown. Razor sharp, he looked striking and righteous,

“I will make you pay for every single thing you’ve done. For the key to the top floor of your house, you punished Charles based on your familial laws and broke two canes. He asked that five strokes be returned to you. We will start from that.”

Two more soldiers, clad in uniforms, entered. They swiftly untied Craig only to tie his wrists behind his back. As the rope was connected to a hook above his head, Craig was hoisted up with his toes barely touching the ground.
