The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 849 - THE DAY OF THE EXECUTION

Lilac saw a platform right in front of the entrance gates, where Chiron and Carina were being held. Their bodies were tied with many chains to the poles, and were positioned just a few meters apart from each other.

Above the castle gates and along the tall wall, were the red flags with white wolf which were fluttering in the air, while the atmosphere below was dead silent.

The chief of the centaurs glared at Lilac and Jedrek with a cold look in his eyes, when the two of them sat on their throne.

Kace and Torak along with their mates didn't came to see this execution. The two guardian angels were not ready to witness such a cruel punishment and their mates could understand that, moreover, there wouldn't be any difference whether they were present or not, because Jedrek wouldn't change his decision anyway.

Especially for Kace and Hope. The two of them visited Chiron and Carina yesterday, but both of them refused to talk to them.

However, when Kace and Hope were about to leave, Chiron had only one favor; he didn't want Kace and Hope to watch him being burned alive, screaming pathetically.

"I hope you remember the way you know me when we were in the northern coven realm," Chiron said and that was the first time he looked at Kace and Hope in the eyes, as a soft smile appeared on his lips. He looked like the Chiron that they knew all this time.

"I don't regret what I did, but I am sorry that I have disappointed you. I don't know whether I'm regretting for choosing to come back to this realm or not, but the moment I saw Jedrek, I can't hold back my grudge, especially when I watched his blissful expression when he had his mate." He said with trembling voice.

And Hope had cried a river hearing his tone, hugging Kace tightly.

"The days we spent in the northern coven realm, are happy days for me," Chiron said and those were the last things they heard from him before they left the dungeon.

However, now… the chief of the centaurs would meet his end, along with Carina, since she helped him and didn't even tried to save herself. It seemed like she chose to die along with Chiron, rather than see him suffer alone.

Jedrek helped Lilac to sit down on their thrown. In front of them, the roads were fully packed with citizens as they solemnly waited for the execution to materialize.

However, soft whispers and sobs could be heard beneath the platform, where the centaurs cl.u.s.tered to the left side near Chiron's pole, apparently the children and the female centaurs couldn't bear to witness such cruelty.

The wind relentlessly brushed past the people assembled and atop of the platform, aside from Chiron and Carina, was Zarrn.

Zarrn closed his eyes slowly, before he opened them and turned around to face Chiron and Carina.

He had done his best to make the centaurs understood this situation, but it was still hard for them to accept that their chief had turned his back against Jedrek solely for his grudge, which they had promised to forget and start anew when they got their land back.

Not only that, Chiron didn't even think twice for their well being if Jedrek decided to kill them all for his crimes.

If they wanted to look back now, they wouldn't want to be here and help Jedrek with the war that they were not involved in, but there was another important thing to consider, and that was to see their children growing in a better environment.

As if acquiescent with their heavy hearts, the sunny sky suddenly turned gloomy as wind started to blow ferociously and dark clouds began to loom over them.

Jedrek stood up and said. "Name their crimes!"

Eaton stepped forward on the platform and faced Chiron and Carina, who were looking at him coldly. There was no fear but only determination in their eyes.

The violent winds were blowing the red flags on display, giving the illusion that the white wolf pattern on the flags came to life. However, Eaton's strong voice managed to be heard atop of all this tumultuous.

Eaton named their crimes for siding with the devils to kidnap Lilac, who had been crowned as the queen of the lycanthropes currently. The crime involving their queen was enough to send them to their death beds, not to mention siding with the devils, when they fully knew they were preparing?for a war with them.

After done with listing out the charges, Eaton turned around to see Zarrn. "You witnessed all of that, didn't you?"

"Yes, I witnessed their betrayal," Zarrn said in a stern voice with unconcealed emotions dripping in every word he spoke.

"And you, as the representative of the centaurs, will you declare that your people would pledge their loyalty to our king?" Eaton asked again. historical

Zarrn turned around and glanced at the other centaurs, whose faces were a mix of several emotions.

"Yes, we will," he said. If there was one thing that Zarrn could feel grateful for was the fact that he managed to convince the other centaurs.

After hearing his consent, Eaton turned toward Chiron and Carina. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you want to deny the crimes that you two had committed?"

There was no answer from the two of them. They raised their head to the gloomy sky and kept their lips tight. This was a gesture from them that they had resigned to their fate, but also an approval that they had really done all the things that they had been charged with.

"Do you have any last words to say?" Eaton asked again.

Meanwhile, people under the platform had started the preparation to burn the two traitors to their death.

Burning to death was the most painful and humiliating punishment, especially when it was executed before the public eye, but this would also serve as a warning for those who had any wrong ideas like them.

"I wish to see your mate in Tartarus soon," Chiron said, which culminated in an uproar among the crowd.
