While the voices of protest rise around the city and people whisper of overthrowing the king, he ignores his advisors' pleas and recklessly decides to proudly walk through the main square heedless of his subjects' moods. As the angry mob is gathering on every corner, hidden assassins are prowling the streets waiting for an opportunity to finish the monarch once and for all. Will he escape his destiny?
