"This is really unexpected that Lord Kenny's life is going to end this way.
"Did you hear that Lord Kenny was convicted for deceiving the Emperor because he released that loose woman, Monica? That's why he's going to be decapitated."
"Tut-tut, no wonder. Losing his life for such a woman. He was really asking for it.”
Lord Kenny looked up, pretending he did not hear the gossip, and let the cold rain wash over him.
It was a rainy day again. It was also raining when his wife was framed and sent to the parade. Images of Monica popped up in Lord Kenny’s mind. The memories caused him to smile.
'Dear, are you doing alright? I was not able to protect Ambrose, and I'm too ashamed to meet you again.’
Lord Kenny did not know Yvette had rescued Ambrose and escaped with him.
"Time's up. Prepare for the execution!" the executioner coldly said as the beheader raised his big blade.
At that moment, Lord Kenny had completely lost hope and shut his eyes, feeling devastated. The room was silent as the surrounding citizens stared coldly at him.
When Monica had been paraded on the street, many people had thrown eggs and stones at her. Lord Kenny had imprisoned some of those people out of anger, so these people hated him.
Everyone felt Lord Kenny had asked for it; no one pitied him.
"Execute him!" the executioner stood up slowly.
The beheader spat out a mouthful of wine on the blade and swung his blade towards Lord Kenny.
Bang!
Suddenly, a ray of light came from nearby and landed right on the beheader’s long blade!
After the loud bang, a jade pin flew over.
