Five days passed by after we dealt with Duran and his gang.

Under Tina's command, the Necromancers quickly took action. They absorbed life force from various livestock, not human but actual animals, and summoned skeletons to immediately start working on reconstructing the royal palace as quickly and efficiently as possible.

"These men dared to rebel against our Queen Tina!"

The survivors among the rebelling feudal lords were dragged out into the city's main plaza, before being placed on the guillotine.

"W-wait! We were just...!"

"We were only listening to Rehton's...!"

"Execute them!"

The guillotine's blade mercilessly came down and chopped their heads off. The citizens angrily kicked the severed heads around or spat at the corpses.

As for me, I was sitting on a hastily-constructed throne located in the wrecked audience chamber of the palace. Its wall still had a gaping hole, and a rather pleasant breeze was blowing inside.
