"I'll sentence."

"... Yes?"

"My father told me to finish quickly and report, so we have to hurry. The important thing is not to execute them but to support their manor."

That was why the Emperor didn't attend here.

"So I'll take care of it all at once."

Eventually, the aristocrat, who knew the character of Asher, handed over the papers as if it were inevitable, and Asher, who received them, began to call the names that were not yet called.

"... In this way, I sentence all thirteen of you to be beheaded."

There was silence in that uncompassionate tone, and the square was filled with only the cold air that came out of Asher's cold expression. Even Aria, who had seen his cold look in the past, was surprised by his cold voice.

"And the two are left, the former Duke and Princess Frederick."

Unlike the other sinners, as the two were the main instigators of this rebellion, they seemed to be getting a separate sentence. Or maybe he had taken the papers from the nobleman, presuming he was feeling bored to give them the final sentence.

"I'm sorry for the Duke. Even though it had been a long time ago, your family has succeeded the royal blood, but you're done with the end of the only historic Duke family in the empire."

He said he felt sorry, but the Duke swallowed his saliva because his expression was cold.

"Sometimes a man has to cherish what he has, and then he gets something unexpected and precious."

Asher said that and glanced over where Aria was as if she were a precious person he had unexpectedly acquired. Asher continued, "Now that I think about it, I should be grateful for the Duke, for you have been a good help in many ways since I was very young."

The Duke's face was cold, and the winter was not over yet. The cold air was still in full bloom, but he got a cold sweat.

'Why did you do such a terrible thing if you are frightened like this?' Asher ridiculed the Duke and continued to sentence him. "For the Duke of Frederick, his sentence is beheading, and his body will be hanged at the entrance of the capital for a month."

The Duke closed his eyes tight. Nevertheless, he was not surprised, so he seemed to be prepared. It was not desirable, but nothing was scarier than this, so he walked to the last sinner, Isis.

"Frederick Isis."

Isis's body was trembling from time to time as she saw him for a long time. It was a different appearance when she had faced Lohan; it was full of malice.

Asher said as if he was disappointed when he saw that she abandoned herself to despair and had a desperate face.

"You were frightening since you married a king of another country and sold the empire."

What he said was true. 'How could you have thought of treason? No matter how much you hated me, even if you were the Duke's eldest daughter, you should defend the empire.'

"If you weren't that bad, why did your brother betray your family? I am so sorry to see your despondent face." Asher pointed to the stands and whispered.

As she followed his hand, Oscar, a pale man, was watching his father and his only sister nervously.

For betraying his family, he looked as if he would fall out of worry; there was no shadow of a traitor on his face; there was only one face of his own brother, who was worried about his family and regretting. She had thought that if she met him, she would try to remind him of the terrible things he had done. "Why make that face?"
