Chapter 279: The Guillotine

The noisy debates and whispers among the crowd continued, but under the centuries of accumulated prestige of the Boske Family, no one dared to step forward.

Mezulash scanned the crowd below, their faces a mix of fear and panic, his pure black eyes narrowing slightly.

"Everyone, this is a public trial of the kingdom. You can exercise your power to the fullest; do not harbor any feelings of fear."

"Hehehe..."

Suddenly, laughter came from the high platform.

Hollen, who had remained silent, trembled as he lifted his head. His blood-streaked face displayed a wanton smile.

"Evil Dragon Kin, your schemes will never succeed."

"Stratholme Fortress will always be the territory of the Boske Family... The bloodline of the Lion will never submit!"

"I am Hollen Boske, first son of Duke Leo. Apart from my father, no one is qualified to judge me!"

Hollen spat blood-stained saliva, cursing Mezulash, showing a reckless defiance.

"You're seeking death, right?"
