244 – Before the Fall of the Elain Empire (15)
The idiots of this era were actually close to street entertainers.
Because medieval society didn’t have much entertainment other than boring books and cinnamon sticks…
People enjoyed watching the executioners kill death row inmates as if they were watching a performance.
In the Joseon Dynasty, when the news spread where and when the death penalty would be carried out, people gathered without fail, and people sold a lot of money by selling cushions or snacks to use when visiting Yukuijeon or other merchants.
When I lived as Kim Do-yoon, I had a lot of disgust and aversion to the fact that these things were committed in history.
But now, in order to smooth out future governance…
As medieval and modern monarchs did, they made the execution grounds, or more precisely, the execution grounds of Eva Green and her mistress, Peter, like a festival stage.
Fliers were made and posted all over the castle to promote the ‘execution of the rare bewitched woman who ruined the Eline Empire and the butler bewitched by her beauty’. And happily celebrated Eva Green’s death.
“Is that b*tch finally dying? Damn, the news of the executions of other nobles is a bit sad. You should kill that b*tch.”
“After hearing the story, they say that they are of the same low class as us.”
“At the same time, seeing that he was also playing with a butler named Peter, he is a very mean and lewd b*tch. Well done. No, he’s not dead yet.”
At a place like this, people sometimes talk about their inner thoughts without filtering, with the thought, ‘You can’t hear me grumbling when there’s such a crowd.’
I could hear these words firsthand because I pretended to be escorted to watch the festival some distance from the stage, disguised as a young magistrate, and entered the crowd of citizens gathered near the execution grounds.
In such a situation, there was no sound of directly swearing at me, so it can be seen that killing that woman in Evergreen was part of the stabilization of the public sentiment in this area.
After walking around the neighborhood and trying to figure out how the public was feeling until 10 minutes before the execution, I immediately changed my clothes and sat down on the throne.
As soon as I sat down, cheers spread among the people.
“Thank you for killing that damn lewd b*tch! Because of that woman, my son was killed by dogs!”
“A crazy b*tch secretly having an affair with a young butler! The b*tch that will kill the world!”
“Burn with fire to purify!!”
If I hadn’t attacked Elysium, I wouldn’t have been killed like that.
Also, the reason why he was able to attack Elysium so easily and quickly was because a woman named Eva Green seduced the emperor and ate her image.
So, seeing the citizens who watched the process resent her for allowing me to easily capture her ‘her Elysium’ rather than resent me… I feel strange for her.
Moments later, with the sound of a trumpet, the executioner appeared at the execution site, carrying Eva Green, her hands bound in iron handcuffs, and her butler, Peter, with whom she had had an affair.
People tried to throw stones or food waste at them, but soldiers who had been stationed stopped them with spears.
“This is the strict order of Her Highness Ciel von Kreuttel. If you throw stones now, you will harm the executioner and the soldiers, so don’t throw anything until the execution is over. They are prisoners who will soon be burned at the stake, but if they died instantly by being stoned, wouldn’t it be like dying too easily?”
Everybody clearly objected to the saying not to throw stones, but then let’s hear that sinners can die comfortably.
Citizens gathered there nodded and all at once put down stones and garbage.
At the same time, the door of the wagon carrying the death row inmates opened and Peter and Eva Green came out.
Peter, the butler, had an expression of resignation as if he had given up on everything, and Eva still held on to her hopes and put forward her own beauty, looked around her and found me.
“Your Majesty, it is not too late. Please save me From now on, I will truly serve and love only Your Majesty. Please make me yours. I will do whatever your Majesty wants.”
I was the one who confirmed the verdict of burning at the stake, so what’s the use of trying to seek sympathy?
If you’re just repenting for all your sins and showing signs of self-reflection, I’d ask you to die as soon as possible so that you’ll suffer less…
As if the citizens had the same thoughts as me, they poured out words of selling toward Eva Green.
“Shut up and just die! You slut!”
“Even a prostitute will be nobler than you! Didn’t you like hanging out with that flimsy guy with a face like a parasitic brother?”
“That b*tch is not even a person. Just die!”
As Eva Green continued to resist, the executioner seemed to be unable to do so, so he pulled the handcuffs she was wearing in front of her, knocked her over, and dragged her to the scaffold.
Seeing this, the citizens put down their beer and clapped with cheers.
“The filthy male prostitute knows his crime and wants to die quietly, but the ugliest b*tch wants to die ugly until the very end. It’s pitiful. Come on and tie it up.”
The executioner and the soldiers took that order and dragged Peter and Eva Green to the pyre in the center of the plaza, where there was a pile of pyre, and tied them up.
Because of custom, before the execution of the fire, a simple confession was held to pray that the soul would go to heaven as the sins were forgiven by being burned at the stake.
Peter confessed that he was sincerely sorry for his sins, but Eva Green…
“Your Majesty Kreutel! I am pregnant with the child of the former Emperor of Elaine, Adolphe de Elaine! But why do you want to burn me at the stake?”
If that statement is true, the burning should be stopped immediately.
However, according to the doctor’s confirmation the day before the execution, the woman had never had a reaction like morning sickness, let alone pregnant.
There is also a record that she somehow got pregnant and tried to seduce the soldiers who were watching the prison to avoid being burned at the stake.
Citizens whispered as if they were taken aback when they heard that, but I said as I lowered the decorated baton in my hand from top to bottom.
“The doctor confirmed yesterday that the woman is not pregnant. Reports were received that even the day before her burning, she had somehow become pregnant and seduced the prison’s soldiers in an attempt to evade her sentence. Confession is not worth it for that woman, burn her to death immediately.”
At my command, the executioners set fire to the pyre, and soon after, the fire began to burn fiercely at the stake where Eva Green and Peter were tied.
“… Deus, please forgive me.”
“I, Eva Green, can’t die like this!! Your majesty! His Majesty the Emperor Creutel!! Please save me!! Aww! Hot!”
Soon after, the fire also spread to the bodies of the sinners and burned their clothes, and the citizens looked at them and said mockingly.
“Peter seems to have the slightest shame, but Eva Green has no conscience at all.”
“You are truly a woman the world will kill.”
The two men and women tied to the stake burned roaringly while being criticized by the people.
The next day, the executions of nobles who did not surrender, including the Duke of Brussels, were executed.
Unlike when Eva Green was executed, the atmosphere was quite heavy, and when some nobles were executed, even a solemn atmosphere was created.
However, the Duke of Brussels and his sons, who were known to the world for teaching the emperor incorrectly, were executed with booing as things like rotten eggs, straw, and mud flew to the guillotine.

Around the time when the purges of nobles and non-committal activities are about to come to an end.
I called Count Meter, the only one of the nobles who had surrendered who hadn’t decided on a treatment, into the office.
In the letter I sent him when I invited him, I sent ‘Akitel has brought you good wine, so let’s drink it together’, but I bet he didn’t take it literally.
And as if to prove it, Count Meter appeared in front of me dressed in the most luxurious clothes he had and with the utmost formality.
“Your Majesty Ciel von Creutel, Max von Metre greets you.”
“Thank you for coming. Okay, first of all, drink a glass of wine I brought.”
Meter drank the wine slowly, then gently set the glass down.
“Really delicious. I heard that the wine of the Kingdom of Creutel is the best in Europe. There was no exaggeration in that statement.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll give you a whole oak barrel as a gift on your way. Since there are about 200 liters in a bottle, they will be happy if you share it with your retainers.”
“It is an honor.”
That’s how I talked with Count Meter about wine and this war for about 30 minutes, and the atmosphere was ripe.
He spoke in a calm voice that excluded emotions in order to start a full-fledged story.
“I, no, Jim, before attacking Elysium, announced that the title of count and the county would be returned to those who made the greatest achievements. Counts like Walt, Frost and Biermann, including his father, all said in unison: Yes. ‘If it wasn’t for the exploits of Earl Meter who directly killed the emperor, 30,000 citizens and 20,000 soldiers of Elysium would have died in the ensuing war, and the damage to our allies would not have been small.’ Also I agree with that opinion. So, if you wish, I can return the original Countess of Meter… What do you think?”
