THE BEGINNING OF THE END

{Music Recommendation: Love In The Dark ~ Adele}

The next day finally arrived; a day set aside to punish the masterminds. As they were dragged out from the dungeon, Gwen and Adelaide were made to dress in their undergarments while they were dragged outside the palace, and beside them was Bessie. Nicholas was dragged by two other royal guards.

The procession was a quiet one; the only sound heard was the carriage that carried other members of the royal family to the village center. Upon arrival, Adric helped Oriana step down from the carriage first before going to sit at the podium meant for the royal family. Since the rulings had already been made the previous day, there was no need for further deliberation.
