his mid-thirties, but he looked no older than twenty.
He had a neat appearance.
But his whole body exuded an aura of authority that did not match his age.
As he showed himself on the platform, cheers erupted from the crowd.
“The Golden Lion of the Empire!”
“Long live the Second Prince, no, the New Emperor!”
[The Second Prince of the Empire, Leonhart]
He was the man’s half-brother and the one who drove him from his throne.
His expression became slightly grim as he glared at Leonhart.
“……”
But Leonhart’s expression was cold as ice.
The winner had been decided and the life of the man who was once an emperor was already worthless.
‘So you don’t even bother to face me anymore, huh?’
The man listened with a hollow expression as his charges were read out loud.
The nobles who presided over the trial looked smug as they watched him.
“We will now accuse the deposed emperor of his crimes.”
“He corrupted state affairs with luxury and decadence, and ruined the people’s livelihood!”
“He invited foreign forces, disrupted the foundation of the empire, and incited civil war!”
“Booo!!!”
“Kill him! Kill him!”
The judge banged on the table repeatedly to quiet them down, but every time a charge was declared, the crowd’s voices of condemnation grew louder.
“With this, we have accused all of his crimes one by one.”
“Does the deposed emperor have anything to say?”
The man snorted inwardly at the judge’s question.
‘Do you think you’ll spare me if I defend myself here?’
He had enough of playing along with this childish drama.
He was a loser, but he didn’t want to be more pathetic.
He had already given up on hope for life.
He just wanted to rest now.
‘Tsk, don’t you want me to die with dignity as an emperor?’
The judge clicked his tongue inwardly and finished the verdict.
“The criminal does not answer, so he admits to all his crimes.”
“We sentence the deposed emperor to death by guillotine!”
The executioners’ strong hands grabbed the man from both sides.
Following the executioner’s lead, his neck was slowly placed on the frame.
He felt the cold touch of the frame digging into his neck and various thoughts crossed his mind.
‘Where did it go wrong?’
When he was young, he was naive and foolish.
Maybe, it was from then on.
“Clank, clank, clank.”
The heavy steel blade slowly rose.
Then the declaration came down.
“Execute him!”
“Shriek!”
The blade came down with a lightning speed, opposite to when it went up, towards his neck.
“Thud!”
The beheading by guillotine was too easy.
The blade severed the man’s neck in one breath, which should have been attached to his body.
‘Will I be able to see it after I die?’
He was not a religious person who believed in the afterlife, but he couldn’t help thinking about it in this situation.
The last thing that came to his mind was a woman holding a sword and standing proudly.
‘Beatrix……’
His thoughts were cut off along with his severed neck.
