Don't Shoot The Messenger

The messenger arrived at my castle with, unsurprisingly, a message. As they delivered it, they told me that they were instructed to await my response.


As I read it, my blood began to boil, as I read the demands. They wanted me to sacrifice my Kingdom, and all my subjects, or risk being destroyed.


I looked at the messenger, and saw he was prepared for my reply to be violently bloody.


Instead, I gave him a room for the night and a full meal before he returned with my reply.


And a plague in his stomach, hidden in that meal.
