"do you plead guilty or not guilty?
A girl aged 13 stands alone with her eyes dull and open In shock.
She couldn't understand.
No.
She definitely could.
Her life is worthless, even though she was of royal blood, she was still worthless compared to her sister.
She stared up at them coldly
'adults..... all of them, and not a shroud of humanity'
"Guilty, I'm guilty..."
"therefore letha viclou you are hereby sentenced to plantel execution"
It was not even a second she responded and they already reached their verdict
She looked around
Her family members weren't there, probably too busy to even care, or too busy fighting after all there's been a war, she didn't blame them, it's not like it was their fault, the person ruling the country was her sister's husband.
The jury didn't have a say in this, it was clear in the terrified looks they gave her but no one spoke out, the spectators mostly commoners looked angry, it was expected, after all, this execution is brutal, not really the best for a pre debutante, but it was really shocking, I guess they know what this means if a royal child like me who has done nothing but throw a rock at a window get a horrid punishment.
What worse could happen to them?
That's right I broke my sister's favourite window and now I'm sentenced to death
Since I'm going to die anyway I might aswell insult these immature adults
"hey. Look at me"
she looked straight at them not wathering
"are you too ashamed to look?, for someone like you it is to be expected"
The judge didnt look at her but everyone else did
She couldn't see their faces
it didn't really matter anymore
"how does it feel to know you all failed at doing anything? You sold your self and now you can't look at me. Because you're too scared"
The judge hesitantly looked at her
"what type of repulsive human are you?, are you proud of yourself, you aren't grown up, I don't believe you are an adult with the way you are easily played with"
"enough letha!!!"
Ah
Her sister's husband stand above the judge on a high floor
Ah renard albermas
That conceited poor choice of a man, honestly not even a man, because men like him are just outgrown boys.
"ah renard, not a pleasure to hear your aggravating voice"
The absolute shock I got from everyone was amusing
"letha! Mind your manners! It is no place for you to speak-" the count Mauritius spoke
"it is not yours either, it is my right by law... Well the only law this orchestrated court goes by, so you have no right especially someone like you."
"how dare someone like you try and interrupt the king of this kingdom"
"haha! You are nothing but fake, a replacement if you will and when my father returns you will rue the day you dared to think you even have a place, you are nothing but a coward! "
He wanted to curse me out, it was obvious in the way he bent the gold in his hand slightly
"speaking of which, everyone here has committed a crime? So that means you all have something to hide, everyone here is shameful and you will always live and die with it, so-"
She points at the nobles and the judge, she could feel them getting threatened.
It was truly pathetic the way they were threatened by a small child pointing at them
As she puts her hand down she looks up at the spectators and she could finally see their expressions
Sad, angry, unable to even speak
So she smiled but she might have smirked she didn't know, letha didn't do much for them but, they were human enough to feel something for her
It wouldn't be long until they would all be sacrificed like her... After all renard sold his soul to the devil, they needed to hold on until the war ended.
The only reason I'm dying is because I know all this by being a witness.
So she spoke her final sentence
"fight, fight for yourself-"
She felt someone silence her and getting dragged out
...
A couple days pass, and she is blindfolded, her hand tied up, dressed in rough dirty black clothing, her body covered in scars from a beating ordered by none other than the coward renard
Her feet tattered from walking
They took her blindfold off and her ropes
Even the soldiers didn't look her in the eyes
They were all watching from a distance.
The coward and his useless wife, my sister.
The nobles who cared to come, just wanted to watch a child get executed.
The common people who were forced to come watch, why else would they be here?
She looked straight at the coward and spoke loudly.
"Do you see me renard? I'm not scared not one bit!!!"
She didn't shake, she was confident, she knew she would die, so she watched them, and even though they were on higher ground, they didn't feel as high as she was
She smirks and turns around, her smile completely gone
Of course I'm scared, no one wants to die, at least not really.
But i don't want to be scared, so I'll stay strong, I want my death to mean something, to someone, anyone....
So she walked into the forest and it closed on her.
Her eyes finally decided to let it go,
She wiped her tears away even though they kept coming.
Her heart felt like it was ripping her apart,
Her throat tightened and she couldn't even swallow
She shook quietly her entire body shaking
Trying to not cry out of herself
She wanted to rip her skin off to stop feeling already, she didn't want to feel anymore, she wanted it to stop, she wanted to throw up, she wanted rip her hair out, bang her head until it bled out so she could stop feeling.
But she didn't want to be hurt, she wanted to get this over with.
So she walked, awaiting the trees to take her, but they didn't so she kept walking, and still nothing.
Then finally the trees stretched out forming a cage around her.
It was already night so her tears were already dried out.
She stood tall and waited
The trees struck her body as they held her still, it felt like she was already gone, her hair turned from brown to white as she watched the chopping branch grab her head and all there was after was a mear feeling she felt her head get ripped from her body
Her body fell, it was so fast that blood hasn't started to come out yet, she didn't have a voice, she didn't even feel disconnected from her body yet, but it was all she saw.
It doesn't hurt as much now
