Chapter 137: THE UNEXPECTED EVENT
The thing that Zaya wanted to see was the last batch of people to be put to death. That was what Zaya wanted to see.
Both Zaya and Celine were wearing hoodie that covered their face, especially the princess because her auburn hair was recognizable. She was the only one in this entire kingdom, who had this color of hair.
"Princess. I don’t think I can stand to watch this." Celine whimpered when she lowered her head, while the next person put on the gallows. He couldn’t speak clearly, because their mouth was covered, but one could tell that he didn’t want to die.
"Close your eyes," Zaya said, as she watched the whole thing without even flinched. She observed her surroundings and people’s reaction.
As the king, it was necessary to get rid of the people, who tried to retaliate against his reign, but public opinion mattered too.
Zaya didn’t want Zander to be labeled as tyrant, especially when he did this public punishment for a week straight. It caused a great tension among the people, the street looked very gloomy and the people didn’t dare to talk freely.
Zander did this because he wanted to warn those people, who even tried to think of rebellion, but it could backfire on him.
"You don’t need to be worry about this princess," Lance said. He stood behind the two of them. He covered Celine’s ears, as she lowered her head. "The king has a plan to calm the people after this ordeal ended."
"How?"
