[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: TRIGGER ~ SEORI]
After the execution of Man-uel, the crowd sat in silence, a moment of reflection that showcased the orderliness of the kingdom of Morado.
In Morado, if anyone threatened or attempted to harm a member of the royal family, it ended with their head separated from their body.
Clephas, who was still kneeling close to where Man-uel was beheaded, felt cold sweat run down his spine. He had been prepared to die for the princess, he was fully aware that this was all a plot to bring her down. He looked through the crowd with tears in his eyes, and when his eyes met Kitanna's, they both exchanged a knowing smile.
Almaria sat still in her chair, unable to move. She just watched her most trusted aide being executed, and she could not do anything about it. She reassured herself that it was better him than her. She looked around the crowd, trying to find if anyone was looking at her, but everyone's attention was fixed on the lifeless body of Man-uel.
