The Grand Duke chuckled, the tiny kitten squirming around in his grasp.<br/><br/>"My dear boy, fear is inevitable. You do look quite appetizing, and you see, there is only one direction left for you take; down. And before you ask; your friends cannot help you this time. Haha!"<br/><br/><br/>With an evil laugh, the Duke couldn't put it off any longer. He opened his mouth, brought Edmund inside, and shut his beak. Edmund's furry squirming paws kicked outside the Duke's mouth as he relished the taste. Kittens were very delicious indeed. After savoring his meal, he swallowed, bringing Edmund closer in, with only his little tail swaying outside his mouth, doing this all humming a little tune. Not ready to gulp down the kitten just yet, he savored the flavor, and his thoughts temporarily turned to how his henchmen were doing.
