The priest gazed at the prince and shouted, "Get out of here or I'll arrest you for interrupting a hanging!" He glanced over at the masked man. "Proceed!"
The masked man pulled the lever but before he managed to pull it all the way, Solviss screamed, "No!" and threw a dagger at a tiny string underneath the platform, which it easily cut. Solviss rode as fast as he can to the platform.
The lever was completely pulled, but the trapdoor didn't open.
Winter's whole body was shaking she didnt know the dagger had cut the string so she was waiting for the platform to open up beneath her at any moment.
The masked man constantly pulled the lever back and forth, confused on why the prisoners didn't fall and crack their necks yet. He turned to the priest quickly and just stared. The priest saw what Solviss had did and was riding in for the gallows, and he quickly shouted, "Arrest him!"
All the guards on and around the platform immediately rushed for Solviss.
As Solviss' horse dashed in, he pulled five daggers out of his cloak and threw them at several targets: two guards, Tithae's and Winter's rope, and the priest. Unfortunately, all the daggers missed and one stabbed in Winter's leg.
