Chapter 132 The Conviction 1 (2/2)

”T-This... this is not true. Someone is trying to frame me. This is not true!” The wife screamed frantically.

”The evidence speaks for itself.” Prime minister Murdoc said and looked at the king.

”You are convited with these crimes. According to the laws of our country, you are hearby sentenced to death.” The king said with authority.

”Guards, take her to the dungeons where she will await her sentence.” Prime minister Murdoc said.

The guards unlocked the chains from the floor and took general McGregor's wife.

”No, no... your majesty I am innocent. I demand a re-trial.” The wife was squirming out of the guards grip. ”Unhand me you low lives. I am a noble. You can't do this to me.”

The wife was escorted outside the palace trashing and squirming, screaming that she is innocent.

”Next is general McGregor.” Prime minister Murdoc continued. ”Do you want to see the evidence against you?”

”Heh, do I still need to defend myself?” General McGregor said arrogantly. ”I know what I have done. In this game, I have lost. As a general, I am prepared to take the responsibility of my own actions.”

”I see.” King Edward glared at general McGregor. ”All of your crimes are punishable by death. You are sentenced with three death sentences and would be given the most slow and painful death for your treachery.” His every word was coated with fury, resentment and hate.

”Guards, take the general away to the dungeons to await his sentence.” Prime minister Murdoc ordered.

The guards in the vicinity carefully unlocked the chains of general McGregor. Once he was free, the guards escorted him. But just after some steps, the general paused.

”Your majesty.” General McGregor turned around to look at the king sitting on the high seat. ”The crimes I have committed, I plead to all of them guilty. But, there is something that I have to say before I go.”

The people kept silent, curious as to what the general has to say.

”I am a great general of this country. I have fought in the last war and defended our country's borders. I have given my own blood and sweat for our country's future.” General McGregor said. ”I would die a death I choose of.”

A smile crept from general McGregor's face that sent goosebumps down my spine.

”I always finish what I started.” General McGregor looked my way with a piercing gaze. My body froze in an instant.

General McGregor elbowed the guard escorting him in the stomach. The guard was caught by surprise that he wasn't able to counter, he writhed in pain. By that time, the general took out the guards sword from its sheath and launched towards me.

”Guards, stop him!!!” The king roared.
