Ch. 208 A Certain Hero’s Tale 9 (Irushia)
“The day has finally come, Father. It is with great sorrow that innocent people will die today, but this is the law, there’s no way around it. Let us pray that at least their souls shall have salvation. ”
“…………”
The priest silently glowers at me. Why the scary face?
The subjects for today’s capital punishment are for the escaped felon; relatives of Adofu’s that are no more than twice removed from him. It would be just right for the church. After I spread false rumors about suspicious and disturbing movements coming from Adofu’s relatives, the priest was sure to have been planning to do something about it. That’s just a little cherry on top though.
“You know that we have been put under pressure as of late with the release of the beastmen slaves from Ardezia! To perform something like the public execution of someone from the beastman race at a time like this, that’s no different than dragging the church’s name through the mud! Just what are you thinking!?”
As soon as you sour up. Here we go again.
“It will be fine. We don’t have to listen to what that lot in Ardezia has to say. At any rate, as long as I’m here, they can’t bring anything bad upon Haranae. It would be a problem to set a bad precedent in letting criminals run wild inside our city. Let’s stand firm, Father. ”
Beastmen… that felis huma girl. It’s a bonus that she’s going to be executed today alongside Adofu’s relatives.
