C2 The Execution
The next day, Alexander was taken to the execution site.
The execution of the Greatest Magic Swordsman of the Aelios empire was held in public.
Many ordinary people come to witness the historic day.
The execution was held in the square of Magnusia, the hometown of the Greatest Magic Swordsman.
Emperor Sergei Alfonso deliberately did so intending to mentally suppress and humiliate Alexander.
However, this did not make Alexander depressed at all. He walked to his last place with a quiet smile.
People who see this are very sad. They would lose the most influential person, as well as their protective figure.
Indeed, since the war broke out, Alexander has always prioritized society over other imperial interests. Because according to Alexander, society is the real king. The emperor was merely a figure who represented the people of the empire.
Therefore, many residents cried as Alexander walked towards the execution site. Sergei who saw the calmness of Alexander seemed displeased. This could degrade his credibility as a notoriously fair and dignified emperor.
However, Emperor Sergei was a major milestone in the leadership of the entire Aelios empire.
"Damn it! Even in these circumstances, you still remain calm and show your smile, huh? All right Alexander, my friend. Let's see if you can calm down after seeing what will happen after this," Emperor Sergei said inwardly.
When Alexander stood at the execution site, the Emperor stood up from his throne. This made everyone present become confused by the situation.
"Alexander Von Carl! Have you really betrayed me, my friend?" asked Emperor Sergei with a very sad face.
His hands clenched tightly and his forehead twitched.
Alexander who saw this was silent for a moment. However, when he wanted to open his mouth, the emperor immediately shouted again.
"Did you take my entire empire? I will very sincerely give the whole empire to you, my friend! Just tell me if you don't really intend to betray me!" said the emperor again.
This time, everyone who initially felt sympathy for Alexander, slowly began to feel sympathy for the emperor's grief.
Indeed, Sergei and Alexander are two people who are known to be very close. Even when he was an ordinary soldier at the border, it was Sergei who helped save him from the dark abyss.
"SPEAK UP, BROTHER! WHY SHOULD YOU BETRAY ME? WHY? WHY?!"
The emperor was seen in tears as he clenched his hands very tightly. This is one of the tactics that has been known by all leaders and officials of the empire.
This was a strategy by Stevan Marseille to turn the sympathy and pity of the people to the emperor.
"MY LORD! DON'T SAY THAT! YOU ARE A GREAT EMPEROR! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR CREDIBILITY!!" shouted Stevan loudly to forbid the Emperor.
"SIR EVAN! SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BROTHER IS GOING TO KILL ME! THIS MUST BE A TRAP AIMED AT ALEXANDER!" cried emperor Sergei.
The officials began to stop the emperor who began to get emotional. This is the scenario they all plan for.
Some people who had been paid by the empire immediately moved to provoke the community.
"I don't understand. What exactly did Alexander think? Why did he betray the emperor who had considered himself a brother? Even this makes the emperor's dignity fall."
"That's right. He was a great emperor. But he didn't care about his image because he still trusted his best friend very much. What rubbish!"
"If I hadn't heard wrong, Alexander used to be a poor boy and also the illegitimate son of Duke Carl."
"It seems, that blood is indeed really thick, huh? How could father and son both lack self-esteem and continually betray the empire? I really don't accept this!"
As a result of the provocation, some citizens also began to sympathize with the acting of the emperor and his subordinates.
"MY LORD! I KNOW IF YOU ALREADY THINK OF ALEXANDER AS YOUR BROTHER! BUT THE LAW STILL APPLIES! WHATEVER HAPPENS, HE'S ALREADY KILLED SO MANY LIVES OF THE VILLAGERS OF FROOST IN THE NORTH AND THE NEARBY VILLAGE OF JAX! SURELY THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SERVE HIM."
Hearing what Stevan the commander of the witches had said, the people in the place were shocked. They don't know that at all.
"ALEXANDER, YOU BASTARD! HOW CAN YOU KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE? YOUR CRIMES CAN NO LONGER BE TOLERATED!!"
There was condemnation from the people who were masterminded by provocateurs on the part of the emperor Sergei.
It will still be, it's not just Magnusia's people who are surprised by this. However, Alexander was also very surprised by this.
"What? People in Froost village and Jax village... Has he died?"
Frost Village was a village founded by Alexander and became his fief. He deliberately took the territory so that he could teach his magic sword science to the next generation.
While Jax Village is a village located near the Froost village area. There, Alexander founded a school of witches who specialized more in healing magic techniques and life magic.
He didn't want the knowledge he had forged for life to just end. Therefore, Alexander deliberately opened free training to all people who were interested in learning Magic.
"SERGEI!! YOU BASTARD! WHAT ARE YOUR LIVES LIKE TOYS? YOU BASTARD EMPEROR!!"
Suddenly Alexander shouted out loud to make everyone speechless. The anger of the best magic swordsman in the entire world was unstoppable.
If only he had been punished, he wouldn't mind it. However, this time the lives of the disciples and those whom he had regarded as families had been very sadly wiped out by those bastards.
Hearing this coming out of Alexander's mouth, Stevan immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"Hit, you!" he said in his heart with a grin.
"YOU FUCKER! HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE EMPEROR! EXECUTIONER, HURRY THE EXECUTION OF THE CRIMINAL!" shouted Stevan who was also immediately followed by other imperial beetroots.
This was also heard from the group of people who were consumed by incitement from the imperial people. Many of them chided and cursed Alexander.
"REMEMBER THIS! EVEN IF I DIE, I WILL DEFINITELY CURSE YOU ALL AND WILL AVENGE THIS AT ANY COST! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!" cried Alexander.
He was absolutely devastated by the news of the deaths of the people in the village of Froost and was angry with the bastards.
Suddenly, there was a dark blue that came out of Alexander's body. Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Alexander has been handcuffed using anti-magic handcuffs and injected with a poison that can destroy the 'Mana Core'. However, he was still able to give off that aura.
"I WILL DEFINITELY AVENGE YOU ALL, BASTARD! ALTHOUGH I MUST RISE FROM THE GRAVE, I WILL DEFINITELY AVENGE ALL THOSE WHO ARE INNOCENT."
But those were Alexander's last words. Because at that very moment, the Executioner in charge directly slashed the head of Alexander to prevent unwanted things.
