"Father, they are very sorry for their actions. Can you not lighten their sentence, Father? Life sentence and being placed underground, for example. If you cut it, I feel I can't bear it, Dad." said Shem to King Theophylus.

"Hahaha !!! That's why you are not old enough! Your heart is still soft. We have to be able to see what can be tolerated and which cannot be tolerated. The problem of Red Xavier Crystal must be a death sentence. Imagine if the crystal was successfully stolen. Our kingdom will be stolen. collapse and we will be ruffled! That is very fatal my son. " The king stood proudly with his hands on his hips.

"Princess Adaline and Prince Andrew do not know anything about the Crystal theft. Father, give them another punishment. Prince Andrew is still too small," begged Prince Shem.

"Ha ?! Never mind the child who doesn't know anything? The daughter is an adult and the son is also big enough! Even the babies of King Serafin's descendants if they exist. They also have to feel the head separate from the body too !!! Moreover, the child - Serafin's grown-up son? " said the king shouting.

"But Father, the fact is that the Crystal is still in place. Nothing has changed the state of our Kingdom." Prince Shem replied.

"You have to put you in the less secure Royal Colony for a long time. So that your heart and feelings are trained in abomination! It is not proper to become a King if you are soft like this. You will be my only successor someday !!! Is this Shem ?!" asked the king with a hint of anger.

"Being a king is not it better to show your father's dignity? Not evil. I can also be cruel when in war. This is not a battle for you, it is just a matter of punishing. I think a lifetime is worth it rather than being beheaded." Prince Shem denied.

"Ah you don't know anything about this, you learn again! It's ... I don't want to argue !!! I will announce tomorrow to the public to punish them! It's up to you whether you agree or not!" King Theophylus left.

"Never mind my son, do not argue with your father, there is no mercy for a crime." Her mother approached Shem.

"I mean so that you can reduce your sanctions even more, Mom. I don't want them to die."

"Do you still love Princess Adaline? She's running away now," said the Queen.

"I love her very much Mother, I really want them to be punished for life. What if Adaline is found and she also has to be beheaded, Mother? She didn't participate in this crime. I won't be able to see her." said Shem with a sad look.

"Humm ... Mother also can't do anything, I'll try to tell him later. It's good for you to start forgetting and looking for another girl. So at the time of his sentence. You no longer love him," suggested his mother.

"There are many other kingdoms who are more worthy of a relationship with us. Surely their daughters are equally beautiful, my son," Queen Eloise kissed her son's forehead and immediately followed her husband.

The next day the King actually announced to his people that he wanted this sentence to be carried out today. He asked the palace guards to spread the news and asked the people and all who were there to witness this important event, not forgetting to also invite some important people outside of his kingdom. He wants everyone to see this shocking incident. So that everyone knows. King Theophylus did not play around with the death penalty. He wanted that no one else would dare mess around with the Sadrach Kingdom. So that no one can imitate the behavior of the traitor who will be punished today.

Palace members were very busy preparing for this splashy event. The most ruthless executioners had been chosen by the King. The servants sharpened large machetes that were ready to shed the blood of sinners. The dazzling sight of the machete was ready to cut anyone who challenged the Palace.

Prince Shem is very sad about the events that will happen today. He decided to just go get Adaline. As long as everyone is focused on the death penalty. He invites one of his servants whom he trusts the most, who is closest to him and often enters his room. He was Elliot, a middle-aged man who was trusted to make potions for members of the royal family. Especially Prince Shem. Every day, he cultivates various kinds of herbs and spices for consumption by the Royal family so that they can maintain their health and fitness. Elliot was asked to ride alone while Shem also brought his own horse.

All the important occupants of the Palace were lined up to sit on the palace balcon. All were very enthusiastic about the punishment.

Three executioners have accompanied

the three actors. They have lined up in the space provided, they are positioned on their knees. Then in each side of them stood an executioner who showed his ruthless eyes that were merciless.

They were waiting for the King's cue to be ready to swing the big machete they were holding. The people felt a fluttering feeling about this rare event that had not been around for a long time.

Of course the faces of the victims who were about to be beheaded had been covered with small sacks so that they would not see what would happen to them. They were very scared. They must be currently crying with the most heartbreaking and pitying cries of anyone, but King Theophylus was different! He will never withdraw what he said. He will not abandon his cruelty. He was very enthusiastic about all of this.

The cue has been blown. The executioners had swung their machetes. The people stared and watched carefully the thrilling situation.
