However, when I thought that might be the last thing I saw before my death, I realized how ridiculous it would be. My mouth inadvertently loosened as my fear diminished.
A person noticed and yelled at me.
“Violet! What are you laughing at!?”
A tall man with the same purple hair and eyes as me, Sagius Samaria, was yelling.
He was my brother.
Aggravated, my brother glared at me while holding his glasses.
Even if I could speak, I wasn’t willing to answer him.
No matter what I said, he’d deem it senseless.
No matter how sensible my explanation would be, I was still the bad person.
He was the same as His Highness.
I didn’t want to see those three anymore, so I decided to look down.
…These three are so eager to see my head fly. They even came up the decapitation block…
How nasty.
Do I even know them?
I tried to look up at His Highness, but lowered my gaze once again.
I was sure back when he was still my fiancé, he was only putting an act.
Standing before me, was the real His Majesty.
…I wondered if I should thank Baroness Abazn for revealing his true nature.
When I tried to look at Baroness Abazn, my hair was yanked, and my neck was fixed to the block.
Fear engulfed me once again.
My entire body trembled.
…—red
I’m scared…
This isn’t the same as whipping…
My trembling intensified.
At that moment, His Majesty the King—Dapthen Rolaud, announced to the square.
“The woman standing before us is none other than Violet, the fiancée of the crown prince, His Highness Feld. She attempted to murder Baroness Mia Abazn and the crown prince of the neighboring kingdom using poisons forbidden by the Kingdom of Rolaud. This is considered the greatest betrayal towards us, the royal family. Therefore, the execution of the great sinner, Violet, shall be enacted.”
The moment His Majesty declared that, everyone began to cheer for my execution. My former family members and friends who sat in a distant turned their eyes in contempt.
Thanks to them, my fear gradually transformed into anger.
I glared sharply at everyone—
“—…even though I know nothing…”
The moment I squeezed those words, pain ran around my neck and the ground approached.
To be more precise, it seemed that my head had fallen.
Just before my face hit the ground, my field of vision dimmed.
