707 Alec's End

'Chop!'

(×_×)

Heads were sent flying for a bit before all the nobles had already met their brutal ends.

Now, it was time to take care of their BOSS.

Alec tried his best to control his body and got on the stage as majestic as he could.

Even if he was to be executed, he would damn well go down as the powerful ruler that he was.

He listened to the cheers from below and looked keenly at the executioner who was busy sharpening his blade carefully.

"Moby!

It seems like I have been too lax on you these past years that you don't even show any signs of fear when beheading your king."

Hearing Alec's words, the executioner stiffened up instinctively... before replacing once more.

"As to your words, you are no longer king.

Right now, you are not his majesty, but a common prisoner.

So I hope that you do not take it to heart since I'm just doing my job as the chief royal executioner.

But I have to say Alec, I too have been looking forward to this day."

"Hahahhahaha!

As expected, you're finally showing your true colours.

You're not even willing to call me by my title.

Now I've become 'just Alec'.

Hehehehehehe!

Mark my words Moby, you will regret your insubordination soon." Alec said coldly.

And as they spoke, Alec's crimes were currently being read to the people.

Alec's crimes were so long and detailed that some people couldn't even believe that man used to be their king.

What sort of person had they allowed to lead them all these years?

How could he kill his own son and blames it on kidnapping?

No wonder his wives were up there looking at him with resentful eyes.

If he could do that to his flesh and blood, then what more of them?

But then again, this was the man who killed his father and attempted to kill his own brother.

So they weren't too shocked by his crimes.

It was as if they had already accepted that he was the devil himself.

Minutes went by and finally, all his crimes were read out loud and Moby had already finished sharpening his blade too.

But how could William give Alec a painless death?

"For the crime of killing his son who happened to be my cousin James Barn, I will allow my aunt, Duchess Argenia to come forth and take her revenge before the tyrant is executed." William announced before gesturing towards Argenia.

She walked towards Alec with a cruel smile on her face.

Her smile was almost menacing to all those who saw it.

Her body trembled as she held onto the dagger in her hands.

This was the day that she had been waiting for!

She hastily advanced like a child who was about to receive a gift, and finally stepped on the stage.

At that moment, Moby pulled Alec's hair and tilted back and tilted his body at an angle that made it easier for Argenia to launch her attacks

Alec looked at the woman who used to scream pleasurable on his bed in disgust.

At this point, he had no family love for any of his wives as sons since they had betrayed him.

So he just looked at the ungrateful things with disdain and disgust.

"Do you want to know how your worthless son died?

I kicked him, pinched him, strangled him and stabbed him until he turned stupid.

The fool didn't even know what hit him when he died before me."

"Bastard!

I want you to die!"

'Stac! Stac! Stac!'

Argenia angrily stabbed Alec's shoulders countless times in pain.

Tears fell out of her eyes as she recalled the scene she had witnessed years back.

That's right!

She had been right there when he killed her precious baby.

And all she could do was watch in pain and shock.

She watched her child fall to the ground and struggle to escape from Alec's grasp.

The boy seemed like paper when he was held down by Alec.

Her baby boy was killed by his own father mercilessly.

And the saddest part of it all was that his body was never returned to her.

She never got a chance to say her final goodbyes to him.

Not even the chance to look at his face one more time.

Did the bastard not know what this meant to a mother?

"Bastard!

I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"

Immediately, Argenia was sent crazy on Alec.

Blood splattered in her face and her clothes more and more as she viciously attacked her husband in tears.

Of course if they truly left her to go on, then it was very likely that she would kill him instead.

So William sent 3 other guards to get her down from the stage.

"No!

Let me kill this bastard!"

Let me kill him.

Let me.....wooooooo!!!!"

Argenia broke down even more as the men tried their best to get her off the stage.

Everyone below looked at her pitifully, as they too could imagine her pain when she realized that she had been sleeping with the monster that was responsible for killing her child.

At this point, who knows if he was also the real culprit involved in killing his first daughter Princess Jennette?

If they were her, they would do the same too.

William walked to her side and whispered a few words to her.

"Aunt, it's okay.

We will avenge cousin soon."

"Yes.

T...thank you nephew." Argenia said sincerely before adjusting her feelings once more.

She then stepped back and positioned herself at an angle that allowed her to properly watch Alec's head roll.

Once Argenia found a spot to watch, the ceremony continued with William's mother and several other people came forward to either stab or punch Alec too.

What could they say, he was a well-hated guy.

Alec breathed hoarsely and tried his best to stare at his enemies in the eye.

But his weak body, coupled with today's injuries made it hard for him to keep his eyes open for long.

Dammit!

He was truly unwilling to die, even though he knew that his end was near.

He had been hoping that his ministers and other nobles would team up and save him all this while.

But now he knew that they too wanted nothing more than for him to die.

He realized that he had been swimming in murky waters all these years.

He wished that if he could start anew, he would definitely ensure that Oden out of everyone else was truly dead.

Sadly, even if he went back in time... the heavens would still send someone to take care of him again.

The will of the heavens could never be changed unless he was the one that changed for the better instead.

That was just the way things were.
