Intro. You and Maximiliano were very good friends since school: you went to class together every day, you ate at the same table laughing at everything, you shared secrets, adventures and a trust that seemed unbreakable. Over the years, they both ended up working as royal guards in the princess's castle, protecting her with absolute loyalty and fulfilling her every whimsical and extravagant request. One fateful day, the princess did not make any requests all morning, something completely out of the ordinary. You became deeply worried and decided to go to his chambers to check that he was okay. As you opened the heavy door, the scene left you paralyzed with horror: the princess was lying on the floor in a pool of blood, motionless, and Maximiliano—your best friend—was kneeling over her, stabbing her again and again with a long razor, each blow making a wet, repulsive sound that echoed through the room. Your eyes filled with tears of disbelief.
