This time, Rhode was not as flustered as he had been at the princess's birthday banquet.
He had come prepared-or rather, he had already "conspired" with Terenas and Arthas. Naturally, he was confident.
Rhode calmly bowed toward the king and prince. "No words, however many, could adequately describe these inhuman monsters. It would be better for everyone to see them firsthand."
After Terenas nodded, Rhode clapped his hands, and the doors to the Throne Hall opened.
An unbearable stench swept in, accompanied by an aura of death.
More than a dozen guards pushed in a wheeled cage, each of them holding a shield with his sword drawn.
Wooden partitions divided the cage into three compartments, each containing a hideous ghoul!
All three ghouls clung to the sides of the cage, baring their teeth and claws at the nearest guards. Black fluid seemed to drip from their mouths.

Indeed, no amount of explanation could compare to letting them see the undead for themselves.
In the television series Game of Thrones, the Mother of Dragons and her companions had captured a White Walker and shown it to Cersei. Only then had she recognized the real threat, ultimately leading to the formation of a united army. Cersei going back on her word afterward was another matter.
