After hours of waiting

The heavy metal doors of her sell started to slowly open...

The guards took her to the Throne room
Were her cruel husband was waiting for her to arrive and receive her punishment
____________________________________

when she finally arrived to the luxurious room she wasn't alone with the King as she had expected

There were also other people

Men,

in black coats with golden and silver crosses hanging around their necks.

The sacred companion

She thought

Modesty was clever

She almost immediately recognized the look on their faces

They looked at her with discuss

"Your highness"

One of them said

How ironic it sounded

Highness

A name made to draw respect

Which was the only thing they didn't

They didn't RESPECT her

Never did and never will.

"you have been accused of sorcery"

Another one said.

This didn't catch the young beauty off guard

The total opposite

She new
This was to come

"Who accused me??"

She asked

"It was an anonymous accusation"

He finally spoke

Her husband

The King

The one that held no mercy

The one that was ready to send his wife to death

The woman he fell in love with

The woman he tortured for the whole year they had been married

"So there is no proof for your heavy accusations"

she said.

And it was true

They had no proof

Which means that they have nothing to hold up against her

"I am afraid that your husband, the King confirmed all the accusations held against you"

The man said

"I am so sorry my love but the law is the law, and no matter how much it breaks my heart even the Queen herself can't be apart from it"

He spoke, his words spreading poison

"Modesty Fayette Martel, with the power I was gifted by God I herewith sentence you to burning to death"
