The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of Name Leonhart - Chapter 10
Leonhart Castle, March 7, 537
The Throne Room of Leonhart's castle
A magnificent place with a very high ceiling there are many pillars with beautiful sculptures that support the ceiling
On the left and right sides are the walls with bright red curtains that match the red carpet in the middle of the room
And the most magnificent is the throne that is above the small stairs, the Throne is predominantly red in color very in accordance with the color of the carpet below
"Master Archduke Leonhart has arrived!"
The large throne room door opened Wide and Alaric entered with Reina following in his right rear direction
In the room was Charles and several soldiers and an assistant who accompanied Charles
Everyone there began to bow their heads as Alaric passed by them while Alaric only walked until he reached the throne
He sat on the throne with Reina standing beside him, With her sharp eyes he looked towards Charles
"You're Charles"
"Good Sir"
Charles, who was beside him, walked to the center and knelt to Alaric, while his assistant waited at the side
"Do you know why I call you Charles?"
"No, Sir"
Charles immediately answered Alaric's question for granted because he really did not know what reason he was called to the Throne room
Usually if the business related to his work will be called to the Archduke workspace but because he was called to the throne room then there is something important
He also did not think Alaric knew of his actions because he was convinced that the evidence of all his crimes had been removed
"Dale Onward"
"Okay, my lord"
Dale was the Assistant who accompanied Charles, and when Dale called Charles instantly felt shocked and nervous
'No.. No way, no way, right?'
Doubt arose in his mind he began to sweat coldly and his mind flew everywhere to the point that he did not realize that Dale was already kneeling beside him
"Give it to me Dale"
"Okay, my lord"
Dale stood up and walked up to the throne place and then he took out something from his storage magic that was some paper documents
Charles recognized the papers when he saw them he tried to move because he knew what was going to happen
"Be quiet Charles"
Charles froze Alaric's sharp eyes immediately making him frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat
"Please return Dale"
"Okay, my lord"
Dale walked back down he did not look at Charles at all until he passed Charles and walked to the side
"Charles!"
"Yes-Yes Sir"
Charles was so frightened he became very nervous and his voice trembled
"Do you know what this is?"
"B-iii"
Charles could not even speak properly due to the fear he felt
"This is evidence of your crimes including evidence that you helped the Bargos to produce false evidence so that they could declare war on us"
Charles's view turned black he no longer knew what he could do but of all the people in the room it was not Charles who gave the most emotional reaction
"CHAARRALEESH!!!!"
Reina screams to the surprise of everyone in the room and when Charles hears Reina's screaming voice he lifts his head and he sees Reina's truly sinister angry expression
His face flushed red with fiery red eyes and a devil-like expression made Charles jump in fear to the point that he even peed on his own pants
Reina tried to draw her sword because her anger had already peaked she wanted to slash Charles' head with her own hand but Alaric's hand stopped her
"Let Reina calm down, let me punish her"
With Alaric's orders, Reina tries to calm herself down while Charles has fainted shortly after he peed his pants
"Bring him!"
......................
Two hours later and the figure of Charles is now above the fountain in the middle of the city with all the people of Leora watching it
The pants are still the same so that the smell of Pesing from his pants is still strong at least those who are near the pancung can smell it clearly
The expression on Charles's face in the fountain was dead because he had resigned to what was to happen but what attracted people the most was his bloodied legs and his leg bones were confirmed crumpled so he could not walk again
This is because he had previously been dragged from Leonhart castle to the city of the fountain, while the distance of the city of Leora and Leonhart castle itself was far enough to walk
In addition, because the castle is on the hill, of course, many roads are not smooth that they pass, Alaric who was on the horse carriage alone felt uncomfortable and Charles was dragged using a horse with his legs tied so that he could only resign while feeling the pain
On the way he cried out a lot of help and apologized but no one ignored his screams and finally he gave up and resigned, When the chariot first reached the city of Leora Charles had lost hope, his eyes dying like rotten fish
When Charles was no longer able to stand up even to get to the fountain he had to be dragged again because his legs had been crushed so he could not stand
"Listen to the people of Leonhart, the people who are here are criminals, He committed many inexcusable crimes to the point of causing many to suffer the consequences of his actions"
Although Alaric did not try to raise the volume of his voice but everyone who was there heard his voice
There were a great many people gathered from commoners, pedangan, adventurers and others because when they were ordered to gather at the fountain everyone immediately left their work and immediately rushed to the place of the fountain
"But the reason why he was punished here was not because of his crimes that made the people suffer but because he had betrayed Leonhart!... He had conspired with the Bargos family to bring down Leonhart"
All those who heard it were shocked that even those who knew of Charles's infamy would not have expected Charles to betray Leonhart
"Is it true that Sir Charles is a traitor?"
"How could Mr Charles, whom Mr Javier trusted so much, betray him?"
The People wonder how Charles turned into a traitor who sought to destroy Leonhart
"Listen!"
When Alaric made a sound everyone immediately fell silent and stopped whispering
"Treason is not an unforgivable sin because of this betrayal of Charles, a mother lost her child, a sister lost her brother and a child lost her father who was killed on the battlefield... That's why I, Alaric Leonhart, will execute him!"
Alaric turned around and looked towards a soldier and the soldier immediately came forward to hand his sword to Alaric
When the sword reached Alaric's hand the soldier returned to his original place while Alaric prepared to execute Charles
"Master"
Reina's voice made Alaric stop
"Please use my sword"
Reina said while trying to hand her sword to Alaric
"While it wasn't me who cut off his head at least I wanted my sword to cut off his head"
"All right, I understand"
Alaric put down the sword he was holding and took the sword from Reina
With a few breaths Alaric was preparing to behead Charles
When Alaric's long breath was finished he executed Charles perfectly, Charles' head had fallen and his blood had begun to pour
"Remember this People of Leonhart, as long as you are under the auspices of the name and flag of Leonhart, I am your protector and I will make sure that such an event will not happen again in the future....For the Sake of Leonhart!!!!"
"Life Leonhart!!"
"Life Leonhart!!"
"Life Leonhart!!"
"Life Leonhart!!"
"Life Leonhart!!"
The sound of the cries of the entire Leonhart People that day became the loudest scream they had ever made
After this incident some of their people began to trust Alaric especially those who had been oppressed due to Charles' crimes, they really consider Alaric as their savior
