Chapters Chapter 56. Bloody Execution (1/2)
Kang Chul-in didn’t participate in Sledge’s execution.
Executing him was not his, but Lee Chae-rin’s responsibility, and so he didn’t want to meddle with it too much.
But he did so for the method of execution.
“Tie Sledge up inside a glass container, and prepare 500 ‘Bloody Wyrms’.
“Don’t tell me… milord plans on doing that as his punishment?”
Podolski’s face turned pale after hearing Kang Chul-in’s orders.
“It’s because of his betrayal as the secretary.”
Hearing this, Podolski nodded as if it maked sense.
“Since that truly is a terrible crime, I guess it’s not too far-fetched to give a punishment like this.”
“If an example is done wrong, and it’s sloppy, it’s sure to have side-effects. When we need to instill fear on the people, we’ll have to do it properly.”
“Kuku… As expected of your highness, you truly speak words like an emperor.”
“Nilus.”
“Yes, your majesty?”
“Can’t you do anything about your way of speaking?”
“That… although this servant’s body might only be twelve years old, my mind is that of an 80 year old man...I will try to fix it, your majesty.”
“....okay.”
“Well, I’m going to go sleep. Wake me up during the evening.”
Saying this, Kang Chul-in walked to a bed and fell asleep. Since he hadn’t slept for 48 hours straight, he definitely had the right to sleep.
And while Kang Chul-in was sleeping, the execution continued as planned.
-All of those living in the Dorado territory, meet up at the central plaza at 11:30 am. Unless you’re on guard duty on another part of the territory, it is necessary to come.
If there are those that do not follow my orders, they will be locked up in prison for 5 years.
Thanks to this cruel order, all of the civilians in the Dorado territory came to the central plaza by 11:30. And the sight that greeted them was…
“I-it’s the secretary! The secretary is locked up in a glass box!”
Was a Sledge that was twisted and tied up like a pretzel.
“What the…”
“What are you doing? Milord? What are you doing to your own underling?”
And a large number of dwarves started showing their discontent.
“Quiet, quiet.” Said Anubis imposingly, showing off his mighty physique.
“Since Lord Lee Chae-rin has not come out yet, be quiet. If you take another step forward, I will crush that mouth of yours.”
And behind Anubis, 29 different dog-men started growling; intimidating the crowd.
And while the crowd was filled with chaos.
“Hur Hur… Can our brothers bother to listen to this old man for a bit?” The Sage spoke.
“Secretary Sledge, no. Sledge was an absolute bastard. After all, he tried to rebel against our own lord!” And with this, his rant against Sledge began.
“Ooopppp… Ooooffppp…”
The Sledge who was tied up tried to speak up and against his former ally, but couldn’t, due to the ropes that tied him up.
“Let his workforce leader speak as well.” And Urad also came up.
And the two of them successfully appealed to the civilians of their Lord, as well as Sledge’s mistakes.
And with that, all of the discontent that the dwarves had towards Lee Chae-rin vanished like smoke.
Instead, they turned their disgust and discontent towards Sledge.
“Hey, you dirty bastard!”
“Disgusting. Kak, tweh!” Some dwarves even spit on him.
“You’re a sc.u.mbag, and deserve to die!”
The angry dwarves seemed like they were about to kill Sledge.
And at this moment, Lee Chae-rin showed herself. When accompanied with Billy and the other adventurers, she seemed like an imposing Lord.
“I’m sure you’ve heard Urad, and the Sage speaking. And that’s all true. Sledge, as well as the dead Entwan and General Smith all tried to humiliate me, and force us into losing Nidavellir. But today, as I, Lee Chae-rin execute Sledge, we will fight against those dirty invaders who took Nidavellir, and take it back! We can do it!”
They say that being honest worked.
By showing her confidence and determination to take back their holy land, the crowd erupted in cheers for her.
“And you humans in the crowd.”
“You have worked so hard until now. I don’t know how much suffering you’ve been through with a weak leader like me in power. I have no words to say as a Lord, even if I had 10 mouths.”
And she pointed at Sledge, who was tied up, and shouted.
“But this was because I had fallen into that sinister one’s trap! The dwarves have no fault in this! Although humans and dwarves should unite, it was all because of that stupid Sledge that we couldn’t. So we will, today, execute him in front of the public. Then, you guys can wave goodbye to the suffering and mistreatment you had received until now. As the Lord of this territory, I guarantee the rights of our humans civilians too!”
And when she was finished, an ear-splitting applause came from the crowd.
“WOOOHOO!!’
“LONG LIVE LORD LEE CHAE-RIN!”
“WE BELIEVE IN YOU!”
“PLEASE TAKE CARE OF US HUMANS!”
And as they spoke, Lee Chae-rin sighed to herself.
‘Mr. Chul-in. How did you predict all of this was going to happen? Sigh, I can’t even imagine how great of a person you are.’
Lee Chae-rin marveled once again at Kang Chul-in’s ability. If not for him, what would have happened to her by now?
“Okay then, EXECUTE THIS TRAITOR, ANUBIS!”
