Murder in daylight

Savine did nothing to these people. She simply stared at them with sharp, emotionless eyes.

"Please!" a woman broke out crying. "Spare me! I won't go back to the Marquis, please! Please, just spare my life."

"Stay silent, you fool woman!" a man in the group hissed. "What are you doing?"

"Do you think she doesn't know?! Bringing us all out together like this?!"

The two started arguing among them.

"Eliseline," Savine eventually said. "Do it cleanly."

The duke's sister nodded and pulled out her Vasa. 

"Please! Please! No! I'-kghk!" 

"Graahkh!"

The 15 people all collapsed onto the ground, clutching at their neck. Their choked, silent screams echoed inside the arena, haunting and chilling. As someone who was standing in the front row, Lihar was forced to watch it all.
