The Second Life's

LXXXIII - Execution Day (I)

“Do you not want to talk to me first over tea?” bargain Idris with me.

I'm shaking. “Create the report letter, Idris.”

Idris wrote me a report and gave me full responsibility for the punishment of Belka and the Franklin family. Especially the Marchioness Franklin.

Finished writing, Idris gave the Emperor a special stamp in the letter. The paper was folded and given the Imperial seal for its seal. He handed the letter to me. I accept it with pleasure.

“Be careful, My wife,” Idris said as I walked towards the door.

I looked at him for a moment, then smiled faintly. Without further ado, I walked out of Idris's study room to be greeted by Jack. He drove me to where Matilda and Chloe were.

The three of us finally got back into the carriage. I told my coachman to go to the High Court about taking care of the sentence for Belka and the Franklin family. If I have a letter Idris gave me, I don't have to show any evidence in the morning to convince the High Court.

The power of the Emperor is absolute. Whatever is said, whether false or true, the Emperor remains true and indisputable. You could say, now I'm using the power of Idris to uphold justice.

“Will that server be executed?” ask Chloe.

“Yes. If all his business is done today as well, he will be executed tomorrow along with the mastermind behind it,”.

“You have found the person who told Belka?” Matilda was surprised to be pleased. “Can you tell us that, Queen?”

I chuckled a little and glanced at him for a moment, before finally turning my gaze to the window of the carriage. “You'll find out by tomorrow,” I said mysteriously.

Matilda was finally silent with a curious face. I caught the same expression on Chloe's face. A day's worth of curiosity won't make someone die.

Arriving at the High Court, I was greeted warmly by the Chief Justice directly and two court officials. We entered the building, and were invited to speak in the courtroom of the Supreme Court. While I was talking to her, Matilda and Chloe I told her to wait in the room that the two court officials had prepared.

After I took a sip of my tea, I looked at the Supreme Court Justice who had been waiting for me a little restlessly. It was not usual for the Imperial family to come to the High Court without any clear and important affairs.

As soon as I put Idris' letter on the table and shifted a little, he was shocked to death.

“Is there something going on, Your Majesty?” ask the Supreme Court. He then opened the letter and was even more surprised. “Ratu—”

“Send a letter to the Franklin family. At 12 noon, the execution will be carried out,” cut me directly. “Can you do that as soon as possible?”

“Ah, yes. Okay, Queen. I will send you the letter as soon as possible,” said the Supreme Court Justice, agreeing. “But ..., will you give the Franklin family the death penalty?”

It was only natural that he asked like this. The letter only stated that Idris had fully given the responsibility of execution to myself, his legal wife. No mention of what the problem is and who did it.

The Supreme Court's question made me chuckle and shake slowly. “I won't do such a thing. Just do what I tell you. Just prepare the palace side yard for tomorrow, then spread the news of this execution to all the people. They should also know what has happened actually.”

“Good, Queen. I'm not going to disappoint you.”

I smile. “You can't disappoint me.”

I opened my eyes in the morning as usual. She was served tea by Chloe, helped with proper dressing, and now I'm enjoying my breakfast. I do it all with a smile. And I can't wait for today.

The day I had been waiting for since last night, to keep me awake for a few hours at night, thinking about today.

Brak!

I turned to the door that was forcefully pushed by my own personal knight, Hendery. It seems like he already knew that I would do something to his family.

“Knight Franklin! Can you knock on the door?!” chloe's protest that didn't accept Hendery's actions just now.

“Queen, what will you do to my family?!” shoot Hendery directly. She ignored Chloe's words and immediately stood behind me. “Please answer me, Queen.”

“Did you receive a letter from the Marchioness Franklin that contained an inducement to make me revoke their sentence?” I glanced at Hendery with my tail.

Hendery was silent, but I knew it was true.

“Your mother has deliberately tried to harm me with the help of that servant. Injuring a member of the Imperial family is a very fatal punishment,”. “There's nothing I can do. Any error should be acceptable to the person without seeing his background.”

“Queen, I beg—”

I snorted at him. “You have no authority to plead anything to me, Knight Franklin. If you don't accept it, you can join your family to receive the same punishment.”

Hendery said nothing more. My bluff managed to make his mouth shut. I stood up and left Hendery, along with Chloe.

Now, Hendery's own choice remains. He still wanted to pursue his ambition to gain power by cooperating with me, or choosing his family and discarding his ego by no longer being my knight.

I hope you can be a wise man.

“Your crown has me put on the train, Queen,” Matilda said, as soon as I finished breakfast. “What Queen will go right now to the Imperial Palace?”

“Faster is better. You and Jasmine will come along with me and Chloe. Call Jasmine,” I said, while walking out of the palace.

“Good, Queen.”

Chloe and I got in the carriage first. Five minutes later, Jasmine and Matilda had already exited the palace, then entered the carriage. Maya, along with two servants, stood in front of the palace to see our departure. The three of them bowed their respects to me before I finally left with my three ladies in a horse carriage, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

Both my hands were shaking for no reason. I've taken the medicine Ava gave me for my headache. All the preparation I need is done.

However, my worries were still not gone in my mind. My heart still doubts my actions at this moment. I know very clearly that this action is not an action that my heart cannot justify. But, I don't want to be a weak person at a fault.

Whoever is wrong deserves what he deserves. Moreover, that mistake was a fatal mistake of some sort trying to kill the Queen of her own territory.
