The prince smiled gently. "What? Do you believe I will thrust this knife into your eye?"
Wesley seemed frozen, unable to respond. His red eyes could focus on the blade, and he lifted his head to stare at the prince. He swallowed hard, "U-Uh-"
The prince moved the blade lower to his mouth. Wesley didn't say a word. He knew it was a gesture to be silent. Then the prince turned to me; he tilted his head. "What do you think I should do?"
Why is he asking me?!
I responded with a forced smile and prayed for anything or anyone to come and prevent this madman from stabbing someone. "Don't do it."
I said, honestly, I didn't know what else to say. The prince stared at me briefly, then he turned to Wesley with a faint smile, "I'll let you off this time, but get on my nerves next time, and I'll remove one of your eyes."
Wesley's body trembles at his words.
