You need to calm down

The trial ended as one would expect.

All of the members of the Snake Syndicate received the death sentence for their crimes.

From the very beginning, the fourth prince hadn't been planning on letting any of them live. The only reason that he went through with this sham of a trial was because he wanted to show the people of the kingdom that he would not tolerate criminals like this.

He wanted to use this trial as a message for all those that were still out there that there was someone to protect the people of this kingdom.

He wanted to use this trial to instill fear into the other criminal organizations that were in the kingdom.

Of course, this wasn't the only thing that he had planned for them, but that was another matter.

It would have been perfect if it wasn't for the final blemish at the end. Though this blemish was only a small one that wouldn't really affect the overall message that the fourth prince was planning to send.
