The Perfides

A parade for the king has started as the dancers perform on the streets and as the stalls and markets open up, the king enters the balcony surrounded with his 2 most trusted bodyguards, as he surveys the scenic overlook as he sees his subjects scurry around as his mouth bends into a crooked smile as he says to both of his men, "Look at them all scurrying all around and performing dances for me, I dearly hope they'll understand why I decree it to be in this fashion, do you know why I made them do so?" "Sir I believe the answer is because in your own words you helped direct their strength and intelligence into what you call a 'New Age' ". The left guard responded to the question immediately, the right one then looked over the balcony and said, "I'm not sure if they are quite enthralled by your rule Sir". The king's smile didn't dissipate, but turned into a chuckle as he continue to say, "Well it can't be helped a small price to pay, indeed for peace what would you do". Both guards remained silent to that question.     "Follow me, I believe it is time for me to show you the truth", the king said striding off the balcony and into his castle, both his guards followed him into the dungeons of the castle, The king suddenly opens a secret door in the dungeon which leads a dim lit room with figures surrounding a round table, as the king and his bodyguards enter the door shuts close.     With a flash of metal and blood the king fell down with a cut on his throat, as the blood seeps into the cracks on the mossy floor as the people around the table were examining the body someone noticed that the bodyguards were missing from their place behind the fallen king. "They were assassins all along, find them before they escape!", The people of the round table said.     Then suddenly the figures fell down one by one leaving only 1 left, "Who are you, what do you want!". the last person said as he trembles and is backed into a corner. A voice silently said, "Justice." Right before blade entered his neck causing blood to ooze down and drip.   Above ground the citizens look to the balcony awaiting their kings speech, what they saw next were two men holding up the kings corpse and said, " You are all free of this tyrants reign, now go on and live, trust in yourselves and never look back!", and as sudden;y as they appeared, they disappeared leaving only the body of a dead tyrant, a reminder for all those who abuse power and take those who are not willing to give it.
