The first figure is clad in white and blue, its chin and lips are colored in red, the hands are wrapped in red ribbon.
Priest (solemnly):
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
Dead man (monotonously):
-Because of my slander and greed. My tongue was ripped out and my fingers were chopped off.
The second figure is clad in gray, its eyes and neck are tied with red ribbon:
Priest (solemnly):
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
Dead man (monotonously):
-Because of my blindness to lies and betrayal. My eyes were gouged out, and my head was taken off my shoulders.
The third figure is clad in red and gold, its chest is marred with red.
Priest (solemnly):
-Tell me, o wretch, why were you murdered?
Dead man (monotonously):
-Because of my loyalty to the throne and the crown. My heart was ripped from my chest.
The priest flicks his fingers. All three figures drop to the floor.
Priest (addresses the guards behind him):
-It's clear as day. The murderer is the one in red. He punished the other two for cowardice and treason.
Guardsman (pensively):
-If this is true... Then who killed the man himself?
The priest turns to the audience and opens his white vestment, revealing black robes underneath. He brandishes a bloodied dagger and a human heart.
Priest (mockingly):
-I'm afraid it will forever remain a secret!
