After a long era of conquest, Lucien finally elevates Bastion into an empire and ascends the throne. To calm the unrest left in the wake of war, he plans to publicly execute the king of the defeated nation, Haydin. For that, he imprisons Kay, Haydin’s former knight-commander and the only person who knows the king’s hiding place.

“Haydin kept a very loyal dog.”
“…”
“Fortunately for you, I’m quite skilled at handling dogs.”

But even under brutal torture, Kay—who served Haydin with unwavering loyalty—refuses to say a word. In the end, Lucien steps in himself… and drags him down into the abyss.
