no better way to kill a death

scene: princess isabelle at the deathbed of the unmerciful king, pleading for the life of william wallace. the king has very advanced TB and has lost his powers of speech.

You see? Death comes to us all. But before it comes to you, know this: your blood dies with you. A child who is not of your line grows in my belly. Your son will not sit long on the throne. I swear it.

the king gurgles with wide, horrified eyes.

boom.
