He is dead Nicholas POV Karl and I stood there, waiting for the guards to arrive with the car. Chris's unconscious body lay motionless on the ground and I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for not being able to provide help for him right away. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. I scanned our surroundings, my eyes searching for any signs of danger. I couldn't help but feel like we were being watched. “Why are the guards not here yet?” I asked Karl and he just sighed. “They should be here by now, your Majesty. I don't know what's keeping them,” He answered. “I'll give them a call again,” He said “Please do. I'm tired of staying here,” My eyes were still trained on Chris's face. Just as I was about to give him waiting, two figures emerged from the trees.
