"I'm sorry. I have no idea how this broke. I'm afraid to step forward because of this." Using an anxious tone, I slowly lifted the broken Chain on my hand when it was my time to leave my prison cell.
The Decree which the Exalted brought was about pardoning everyone with the reason being the Great One is celebrating a joyous occasion and extending that celebration to the wronged prisoners not just here but also to the other prisons like this throughout the world.
Although that sounds highly suspicious, the decree is real. Otherwise, the warden wouldn't be this subservient towards the Exalted who brought the decree.
By adding a wisp of the Great One's Energy inside the Decree, no one can refute it or he will face the consequence. Dying will be the easiest consequence and it's not impossible to implicate anyone, even one's whole tribe.
