Prologue (2/2)

He was in his mid-thirties, but he looked to be in his twenties and had a pleasant appearance However, his entire body exuded a certain dignity that belied his age

The crowd enthusiastically cheered when he appeared on the trial stage

”It's the Golden Lion of the Empire!”

”Hail the second Emperor, no hail the Emperor!!!”

[Imperial Second Emperor Leonhart]

He was the Emperor's half brother and he was the one that removed him from power

As the former Emperor looked at Leonhart, his expression darkened

”…”

However, Leonhart's expression remained cold

The winner was already decided, and the er exist Do I even have any worth anyht

The man listened with a blank expression as his crimes were read to the crowd

The nobility involved in the trial looked on with triumphant expressions

”We will now present the charges against the former Emperor”

”His reign led to the ruination of the econoed the country into chaos, as a result of the extravagance and debauchery perpetuated by the National Government”

”It is a serious crime which has weakened the internal affairs of the En powers, and caused a civil war!”

”Wuuu!!!” (Sound of crowd)

”Kill! Kill!”

The judge banged his gavel on the table to rew louder

”All charges against the Emperor were reported in detail”

”Is there anything that you would like to say in your defense?”

At the judge's question, the ain looked up

Are you saying if I defend myself here, you will spare me?

It would be no exaggeration to say that no matter what, his life was forfeit, and so he would not play their childish gaiven up any hope that he would live He only wished now to rest in peace

Sigh, I wanted to die as an Emperor should, must I really die like this?

The judge concluded the sentence, but in his ht it was a shame

”The prisoner pleads guilty to all charges”

”Put the foruillotine!”

The brutal hands of the executioners held the man on both sides

His neck was stretched to rest snugly on the guillotine by the executioners

Feeling the coldness of the execution device on his neck, he reflected on his life

Where did it all get so screwed up?

When he was young, he was a foolish child Perhaps it started there

”Deuleuleuk, deuleuleuleuk” (Sound FX)

The heavy blade was slowly pulled up

Soon the proclamation was issued

”Off with his head!”

”Suiiiiiik!” (Sound FX)

The blade fell on his neck with lightning speed, in contrast to when it was pulled up

”Chulpuk!” (Sound FX)

The guillotine beheaded him so easily

His head which had been attached to his torso was cut cleanly off

Is it possible to see your own death?

He wasn't religious enough to believe in an afterlife, but in this situation he hoped he rong

The last thought that crossed thea blade

Beatrice

Along with his severed neck, the hts were cut off
