Chapter 1000 Execution 1

As more Dry City residents and members of Minos' subordinate and allied families arrived at the central square, influential people from all over the region were already in the surroundings.

Today an event relevant to local and regional history would take place, the execution of the former crown prince of the Kingdom of the Waves, someone of regional fame.

At first, such a thing might not seem so crucial since, at the moment, the war was about to end, and Minos had already done much worse things than executing a person. But still, this event was necessary so that more people would know the truth about Charles and why young Stuart had been so ruthless with the Walker family.

The region needed to know that there were crucial differences between the Walker family and, for example, House Snow. Such a population needed to understand that Minos did not slaughter people for pure fun but for sensible, easy-to-understand, and valuable reasons to avoid pain.

He naturally wanted to take revenge on Charles more than anything. But showing this to his citizens, subordinates, allies, and the region was an excellent opportunity to emphasize part of his limits.

In short, if these people were sensible and did not act crazy, they could talk and even negotiate with him. But if they crossed his limits, it would be better to hide or flee to the far reaches of the Spiritual World as he would stop at nothing.

That said, showing the cruel way Charles would die was important to Minos and the entire Black Plain.

After all, at the end of the day, everything he did was connected with the Black Plain and his future state.

Because of this, many influential people were in that area, some arriving and others already seated in the bleachers set up in that area to hold more people around the execution stage.

Among these people was a group of journalists from the Cromwell Kingdom, representatives of the regional newspaper, Night News.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ

This institution had spent the entire war maintaining contacts with Dry City, using the pages of its newspapers to show the rebel side of the story.

Initially, of course, they had maintained a more neutral position since powers such as they did not have many preferences.

In fact, their preferences were tragedies, situations valuable to the people in this business area...

And with the Dry City forces getting increasingly impressive, they had decided to keep a Black Plain-oriented approach, something seen, for example, in a more friendly language to the actions of the local forces.

Because of that, this organization had earned a place in this execution, being ready once again to tell the stories of Minos to the region.

"This place has even more specialists than the last time we were here..." One of the journalists who had come to Dry City for the execution of Otis Silva said this to his co-workers.

"Is that right?" An individual who had not come to this place before said in curiosity, interested in the changes in this place.

"Yes. In fact, it's not just the local experts that catch my eye. But even the city looks different..."

"There hasn't been a change in terms of size, but it looks like the quality has increased a lot." He commented as his conversation caught the attention of another group in that VIP area of the execution stage. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ

Besides these journalists and influential people from the local government, there were also some royal entourages in that place.

And precisely, some people from House Stone had overheard the end of those journalists' conversation.

"That's in line with some things I've heard recently." A subordinate said this to Lorelei while standing to the left side of this woman. "It seems that the local government invested a lot of crystals with their people in this recent period, as there was no more labor available to invest in local businesses."

"And because of that, the number of crystals that went into that bank in that period cannot be underestimated."

"Oh?" Lorelei became even more interested upon hearing the name 'bank' being said.

She had obviously already learned about this local institution that offered such an exceptional service to encounter in this region. And knowing how much the Black Plain could grow in the future, she already had her eyes on this institution, interested in having her family invest locally.

That could help her get even closer to the Black Plain and guarantee absurd earnings for her family. That is, this place would soon become the strongest state in the region, something that definitely had a lot of room for growth.

With that, she already had the local bank in her eyes, looking forward to when Minos would release investments from people outside the Black Plain.

For now, only citizens, subordinates, and allies living in this territory could do such a thing. But this woman knew that sooner or later, this would change. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Consequently, she already gave the Bank of the Black Plain its due importance.

She then commented in a low voice. "No matter how much has been invested in this bank, the local population or Minos' allies and subordinates cannot afford to suppress all demand from this place!"

"Let's prepare for the day when Minos opens the vaults of that bank to us!"

At the same time that Lorelei was thinking about the future, Blake and Wilfred's group was already on the outskirts, alongside the four widows of Willian Walker, who had already been freed.

After their contracts had been confirmed, those men had received permission from Minos to take their mothers and stepmothers out of the local prison.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ However, they still had to attend this event, so they were standing there, dressed in black clothes, but already looking better than before.

"Wow..." Wilfred looked in the direction of the crowd of over 100,000 people in that square, shocked to see so many people there just to watch the death of one person.

"It seems that Minos truly wants to humiliate Charles to the very end." The queen said this in a low voice, looking toward the middle of the execution stage, where that fellow was on his knees, chained to the ground.

'Us too...' She thought about it silently, annoyed at having to watch this.

But without other options, she could not complain or ask to leave.

"Well, that will all be over soon..." Blake commented in a low voice, noting that Minos' group was already in the area, settling in for the show.

Dillian was walking alongside Eda while Ruth and Abby accompanied Maisie through that area, heading towards one of the best places in that area.

On the other hand, Peter was also there, already seated in the first row, looking forward to Charles' execution.

He particularly no longer saw a problem with his leave from the Walker family since it had led him to a much better place. However, this man could not deny the desire to see his old enemy destroyed.

Thus, he was in that place alongside Mia and some high-ranking soldiers, including Robin and Barbara, his companions from the days of slavery.

"Looks like it's about to start..." Robin said this in a low voice, looking at young Stuart, who at the moment had just appeared on the execution stage.

Minos then walked over to a small speech area that was around there and looked at the kneeling figure in the center of that execution platform.

After looking at the item right behind Charles, Minos looked at the tens of thousands of people in that square and raised one of his hands.

Immediately upon seeing that, the people in that area began to fall silent, quickly creating the 'space' for the local ruler to speak what was on his mind.

"Well, we are here again..."

"But this time, I'll try not to prolong myself, as happened the last execution."

"Today, citizens of Dry City..." He then looked at the VIP area. "And friends from the region, we are here to solve a problem that has bothered me for years."

"I'll be honest with you. The Walker family was my enemy for some time, but they didn't deserve what happened months ago."

"However, I still did all that on one person's account." He pointed in Charles' direction, causing the people in that place to follow his movements, looking at such an individual.

"Charles Walker's crime is, in my opinion, one of the worst he could commit. He, my friends, tried to kill your future queen, one of the most important people to me."

"That scoundrel tried to kill my dear Abby!" He said in a slightly altered tone, showing his hatred for that person.

"That's why I couldn't forgive his family, and I won't forgive him now, even after everything that happened!" He then turned to where one of his high-level soldiers was standing and said amidst the screams calling for Charles' death. "Eduard, activate the Puller!"

"Execute this person!"
