I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 7 Preparation for Execution
previous story:
Pale found a bunch of strange warriors as he wanted to head to the capital to meet the Duke. The soldier was wearing a silver armor that was very striking and shiny. But Pale did not know that they were going to head to the capital or just hitchhiking by. After he arrived and met the Duke, he found some strange people in black robes following the Duke behind him. Somehow he felt unhappy with those people because one of them was trying to get close to the Duke.

Preparations for execution were also made. It took several hours of preparation, until Denis did not realize that the morning was approaching. They chose a hall in the town hall so that the execution process could be seen by everyone. Then a very large stage of execution was already placed there, and poison.
In the hall of the city hall there were already chairs surrounding the field for seating. In fact, this open hall was used to watch matches and not to execute criminals. But this was done because the villain was a dark wizard. And that crime as a spy is pretty fatal. Then the King also planned to lure the other spies out.
Denis chose poison because he still had pity on Diana even though the woman was very evil. Diana's execution was more cruel. But Denis was kind enough to make it cleaner.
Denis arrived early in the morning. There's no one in that place. There were only a few soldiers who were busy setting the execution stage. Denis didn't sleep so his face looked very tired.
Denis had expected that Duke would wreak havoc and attack the capital. So he put a great general and ten thousand soldiers to guard the gates of the capital, preventing them from entering. And in anticipation of the chaos in the capital, he left several high-level mages in the hall to oversee the execution.
There was one more thing that made him uneasy. It was the Magic Tower. The organization was centered in the capital and had countless high-level magicians with them. If they all decided to attack the kingdom because of the order, it would become very troublesome and dangerous. Internal war will take place in the capital.
But actually Denis doesn't have to worry too much about it. The Magic Tower and the Kingdom of Well have already signed a pact with each other. The Kingdom of Well will provide a safe haven for them. And they should not interfere at all with the political affairs of the Well government. And they have to help if the kingdom is in danger, but this is just an additional option. They could not intervene if they did not want to.
If they suddenly interfere with Well's royal affairs just because of Dean's unofficial adopted grandson. That would make the name of the Magic Tower ugly. And of course, unilaterally undermining the agreement is very unethical. Therefore, the Magic Tower remained silent for as long as this case occurred.
Denis was just afraid they'd be enemies in a blanket. So he also needs to anticipate it. Denis had already sent an invitation to Dean Wason to attend the execution and he had also invited Court's faction. Dean Wason accepted the invitation without any complaint and Court's faction refused to come.
The Court faction also has the potential to become enemies in a blanket. But they are too weak and cowardly. So Denis doesn't care much about them. He could exterminate them if they dared to disturb him.
Finally the execution process arrived. The execution was held early in the evening. But all those spectator seats were already filled with a sea of humans. Everyone was excited to watch. Even those who do not get a seat, still insist on going with meliha. They were willing to fight for a place to stand with the others.
After the place was filled with spectators, important guests arrived. They were nobles and high-level magicians. There were ten nobles present. The nobles who were not present said that they were not in the capital and were sick.
Dean Wason was also present. Denis smiled when he saw her. Dean was completely relaxed as if this did not bother him. Then he casually sat down on the chair he had been provided.
Then Denis stood up from his chair and announced that the execution process would begin.

"Let's go" one soldier pulled Diana.
Diana lifted her face and looked ahead. He can't sleep either. But strangely she was neither sad nor crying. She knew that her husband and children had escaped safely. There was no more sadness in him even though he had to die in a humiliating manner.
He walked out slowly. Last night they placed it in a cage and moved it to the lower room in the hall of the town hall.
Diana walked down that dark alley. Then he saw the light at the end of the hall. When he arrived at the end of the hallway, he could feel the morning sun. He was shocked to see that there were so many people in this place.
When Diana came out, everyone started cheering. They scolded him angrily and even threw the trash into the hall. They intended to throw Diana, but the execution stage was too far away that the trash was scattered throughout the hall.
"Stop! You're soiling a public place" one of the soldiers shouted. They stopped throwing rubbish into the hall.
Diana followed the orders and knelt down in front of the executor. The executor was one of the high-level magicians of the kingdom. He gave a bowl of liquid to Diana. It is a deadly poison. There is no cure for the poison.
The poison was often used to execute criminals. And they all died in seconds. There are some who are lucky to live after drinking the poison. But their condition was weakened.so even if they were still alive, the executor would instantly kill them on the spot.
