The trapped chest

In Babylonia the prince decided to fight to cover more ground on earth and expand their empire, so they sent off their guards to pillage and take everyone away to become servants of the royal family by force.
The guards were unsure about this, but the prince forced them too by threatening to steal everything they owned and he would give them millions to live off of.
So they walked off into the distance with dangerous swords and highly protective shields.
The prince did all this to become king and show his father who's boss. The family was none the wiser about this situation.
The guards arrived to the surrounding towns and they stole and took everyone off as prisoners by taking down all of their protective walls and punishing their guards. They left the village in burned powder and walked away with millions.
The prince received them as slaves and payed the guards with food and drinks and even some gold.
When the king noticed he was outraged as no one warned him, and so he hatched a plan to free the slaves and rebuild the towns.
So he used the most advanced tools they had to make holes into the walls of the prison cells. Prisoners were sent free and given a home for free.
And he left without leaving a single clue unturned.
Of course the prince began to blame guards and servants for ruining his plans and they all become quite angry at him as they weren't the culprits.
A few months later one of the prisoners came back with vengeance in mind. He fabricated a trapped chest that when opened would explode. A letter would be placed over the front and the name of the prince would be carved over the chest.
He transported it with his friends over a hill and then they ran back home.
The next morning the prince saw it and he wanted it, but as he was walking towards it the king pushed him on the ground and climbed the hill.
He thought to himself.
I deserve this treasure as I saved these prisoners and I am the richest
As he arrived to the treasure and saw the letter he ripped it apart. He slowly opened the chest, and when it was fully opened it blew up. Everyone in the kingdom heard the king's scream followed by a loud boom.
a bunch of villagers and guards witnessed the explosion and found the king's body burned and taken apart. As the prince arrived he was on the verge of crying, but the rest of the letter that he pieced together said,
Dear prince, enjoy this gift as a thank you for all the protection you gave to Babylonia and all the locations you got rid of to make it larger. Long live the prince.
This made him lose it and he felt regret and desperation as if he never asked the guards to enslave people and take down their towns none of this would have happened.
But then as he was thinking about his next move the soul of the king was awakened from the abyss. He floated out from the floor and pointed at the prince.
Son, I have been awakened from the dead to tell you to repent and leave as supernatural beings are coming to destroy the kingdom because of your harsh actions! Run as far away as you can!
The prince screamed in fear and ran out of town without any of his belongings and he trekked on into the dessert. As he looked up he saw people burning in never ending fire and flying overhead towards the kingdom.
As they arrived everyone was unable to move and they were filled with fear and terror. The beings warned,
We have arrived to destroy your town from sin and chaos. We will leave you a few moments to retreat and repent by spreading love and peace to other villages
Half of the population followed what the beings said and ran away at the neighboring towns to help them and change their lives for the better, but the rest tried to fight back, and let's just say that the entire village was cut into billions of pieces and burned by the beings. The attackers stood no chance.
