A few seconds later when Isaac finally realized what has happened to him, he shudders in great dread. He urges his tongue to let him speak in terror and finally, he whispers, “Hey, Tommy, let’s come up with an escape plan real quick so we could get rid of this perilous situation.”

“Hey, kiddo, where’s your respect for the ruler of the Cursed Kingdom?” King George crosses its pair of wings in front of its chest.

“Hang on for a second, so it can actually understand every word I enunciate just now?” Isaac is choked with agape.

Tommy makes no response. Awkwardness is all it has now.

“ Oh boy, what a joke this is. Don’t you know that we are birds of a feather now–the most depraved beings that have ever existed? Well, I have no idea what your so-called best friend has done to you, but our beast genes will be contaminating your blood upon blood contact. Didn’t you communicate with Jenny Foster some while ago near the river without any barriers?” King George cackles maliciously.

An epiphany strikes upon Isaac. Realizing how reckless he has been, he takes in and lets out a deep, lasting breath. Then he lifts up his tiny head, and furrows his eyebrows as if he is contemplating the mystery which has haunted countless minds in the past centuries.

“Your majesty, here’s a question for you. Would Tommy be kindly exempted from any sanctions if I sacrifice myself for him? That’s because I shouldn’t be surviving anyhow. I owe dear lord a life.”

Words uttered by the boy have shattered the silence into millions and millions of pieces. King George is touched by the unbreakable bond between those two that you could see some glowing tears beginning to stream down from his eyes. Meanwhile, the innate stubbornness he has would never permit him to absolve any man of his crimes.

“But George isn’t playing lord’s role. Think twice before you make any speeches, Isaac. Do you still remember how tough your brother thrived to make you live? You should, as your brother insisted, live. And NEVER give up your life for someone that easily, especially for this badass,” Tommy grumbles.

“Tommy,” Isaac snivels, “ but you’ll live, won’t you? And don’t sworn buddies imply that we’ll protect each other at all costs. You’ve already done me so many favors, and it’s now for me to do you one.”

They stare into each other’s eyes, and they notice that both of them are holding back their tears.

“Isaac, I…”
“Would both of you just quit chattering for this very moment?” King George mithers as his eyes are ablaze with resentment, “the usual way for me to handle this kind of situation is to slaughter you both, but frankly speaking, I have to say that I am quite touched by the interwoven relationship between you two. Consequently, so as to display my appreciation of it, I would like to provide you with another option– you two could decide who lives and who does not. But you’ve only got 3 minutes for discussion. Once the time is up but none of you have made up your minds, I’ll execute you both by myself. Guards, release them and step back for a while.”

“Isaac, you really should live and I mean it. You are still young and your family is out there waiting for you, aren’t they?” Tommy whispers.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2MvhA2GRA
“But you are also part of my family. Families don’t leave one another behind. Isn't that what ‘ family ‘ means?” Isaac argues back.

Time is ticking and it is running short. It doesn’t seem long until the countdown is over.

Tommy has also paid attention to the fleeting time they have. The faster the time goes, the more nervous it gets.

“Hey Isaac, we don’t have much time left. It’s time to finalize our decision.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmakmw2VJc
“Are there any methods that we will both live in?” Isaac asks.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vn9K8q4uZ
“There’s no such wonderful thing Isaac. Oh, wait. There’s actually one. Although it is not guaranteed to work out well, it’s still worth trying.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyexyvOtxy
“Guess I’ll have to follow what’s in your mind then.”
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2yKxkK6J
“Let’s work it out together then,” both of them cheer, giving each other a fist bump.
