King Lokendra Deva

A great upheaval just finished in the Gajapathi kingdom, and the nobles that supported prime minister Harichandan were executed; each one of them was made into an example in the region they ruled. 

They were stripped naked and whipped in the public plaza and executed. Their heads hung on the city plaza as the remainder for the others. It was a testament to the consequences of betraying the Gajapathi kingdom for momentary gains. 

Lokendra hunted each noble like prey and killed all of them. He didn't even leave a loose end in his plan. He didn't want the past to haunt him again. So he made sure not to give an ounce of mercy to any of these treacherous scum. 

The former king's, Pratapendra Deva's, funeral just ended a few days ago. Ironically, the delegation from the Empire was present. Lokendra thought no delegation would be sent to the Gajapathi by the Emperor due to their bad blood. It seems his prediction was wrong.
