Chapter 686 - Ellena Is Paraded In The Market

Ellena's body trembled when she felt the cold wind brush her skinny body Only the thin dress and scarf covered her up They barely gave protection

If it was up to Kira, this convicted felon would be paraded naked in the town center That's how much she hated Ellena However, when Mars heard about this, the king strictly told her not to follow through with it

He didn't want such punishment to be made an exaht it was barbaric and Mars didn't want his country to ht So, you don't agree with ested punishment to parade her naked in the public, but you are okay with selling her as a sex slave to the pirates?" Kira scoffed when she heard Mars's order

The king shook his head He had to keep telling himself that this Kira was on their side and she cared a lot about Emmelyn, so Mars had to treat her well

That way, he could be patient and reply cal statements He cleared his throat

"That's different nobody will know that you will sell Ellena to a brothel to pay for her crimes The people only know that she is sentenced to forty years of forced labor They just don't knohat kind of labor she would do," Mars replied "However, if you paraded her naked in public, the people will think such punishment is acceptable and will demand as such for the future"

Mars furrowed his brows "Iine if this punishment was in place when my wife, Emmelyn, was framed and punished for a crime she didn't commit?"

He added with a hoarse voice "Such hu woman I don't knoould happen and how scarredlike what you suggested"

"But we know Ellena is guilty," Kira argued

"Ellena is guilty, but I don't want such punishment in ine if Emmelyn was paraded naked when she was accused of a criht have become the final straw and she could kill herself Or, if Eive Mars and his fa about it was enough to send shi+vers down his spine For Mars, it was better to let go of a guilty person, than to punish the innocent The saic applied to punishment

It was better to be more lenient in punish innocent people like Emmelyn

Kira rolled her eyes She didn't like this order, but she had no choice but to agree That was the reason why Ellena got to keep her clothes during the trip to the town center

After half an hour, they arrived in the town center to a gathering crowd Even though the temperature was quite low, many people came to witness the woman as convicted for treason and attempted murder humiliated

They considered this a spectacle and a chance to get back at those arrogant nobles who always looked down on peasants like them

"Look at the traitor!!" Soon drove closer toward theathered in the on The coachon and went to help Ellena down

She would walk the reo to the plaza in the center
