The scorching sun in the sky began to gradually slant westward with the passage of time, and the current sunlight was no longer as spicy as it was after noon, of course, if it was exposed to this kind of sunlight for a long time, it could still make people feel unbearable.

However, even so, the square in the middle of Port Royal is still crowded with countless onlookers, and the scorching sun cannot reduce their enthusiasm for watching the excitement in the slightest!

As a last resort, the British Royal Lobster Soldiers in Port Royal had no choice but to use muskets and bayonets to form a human wall on the periphery of the execution platform, trying their best to maintain order around the execution platform and prevent those citizens who were too enthusiastic from rushing to the stone platform.

These onlookers, some of them are sailors or crew members who have just arrived here; Some are local shopkeepers and associates; There are also noble ladies who are well fed and have nothing to do; Of course, there are definitely those drunks who get drunk with rum bottles; Of course, the most people here are the civilians who look indifferent to Port Royal.

These crowds of onlookers, without exception, were all pointing at the stake in the middle of the square, some people were discussing loudly, and some people even let out bursts of mocking laughter from time to time!

What made these onlookers excited was that today's church was different from the past, their church actually executed the women accused of witches one by one, and burned them while they were still alive, instead of beheading them first and then burning them like before, and because of this, the audience had enough time to watch, which is why they were reluctant to leave for a long time!

Because, now on the stone platform above, there is still a young and beautiful witch who has not yet burned it! Until they had heard her miserable howl of being burned by the flames, consumed by the smoke, tormented by pain, they would not have gone away so easily!

In the Middle Ages, when there was no entertainment, in this Age of Discovery, the screams of witches or women who were suspected of being witches were most excited and delighted when they wailed in the fire!

However, it's a pity that the wails of the three witches in front of them before they were burned to death didn't even make the last remaining one scare his pants? This incident made the audience feel a little bit regretful!

Right now, they were looking at the witch who was tied to the last cross. To this day, she kept her head down, still letting her golden hair obscure her face, and let the scorching sun continue to whest her red, chapped skin, and she remained motionless and unresponsive......

Some onlookers even maliciously guessed and opened gambling games with each other, using their small coins to guess whether she would have been directly scared to death by the tragic situation of the three witches before?

……

Charlotte? Mireel gasped for breath, she was tied to this last cross by the old cable of the thick sailboat, the pain of the whipping of her body, the remorse of the loss of her loved ones, and the torture of the scorching sun, her head had to hang down, and she had been tortured to the point that she had no strength left.

Her beautiful long blonde hair was now covered with blood and dirt, and they were tangled up like that, hanging down to cover her haggard face, and there was no water for a long time, and the scorching sun made her lips begin to crack along the folds, and dots of blood were seeping out of the cracks, and then flowing into her slightly open mouth......

She, Charlotte, has just turned sixteen this year, and she is in the best years of the flower season.

She originally had a happy and happy family, her father, who was originally a navigator on a medium-sized merchant ship, followed the merchant ships between the New World and the countries of Europe all the year round, and lived a decent life on her father's salary, even better than most citizens.

Her mother is an ordinary employee of a textile factory in Port Royal, relying on her craft, helping with some of the factory chores, and also has a lot of wages, with the high income of her parents, even if Charlotte has a sister who is six years younger than her, but this family of four, in Port Royal, lives abundantly and happily.

And she herself, since she learned some words since she was a child, it was actually taught by her navigator father! So, at the age of thirteen, she took a light job in the library at Port Royal, sorting books and doing some cleaning.

This easy job not only allowed her to subsidize her family with three or five silver coins a month, but also made it very convenient for her to read all the books in the library, which she cherished very much.

Their family lived and settled in Port Royal without any worries, and her life could have gone on so peacefully.

But what she did not expect was that when she was fifteen years old, a merchant ship passing through Port Royal brought bad news: the merchant ship that her father was navigating capsized on the sea because it had been robbed by pirates...... What's even more terrifying is that their entire shipload of people has been slaughtered by the cruel pirates, and no one has survived! Of course, that includes her navigator father!

When the bad news came, her gentle and kind mother suffered a stroke because of excessive grief, although it took a lot of money to barely recover, but because there were too many complications after the stroke, there was no longer the original sharpness of the hands and feet, so it was natural to lose the work of the textile factory......

This incident is even worse for this already stormy family! Since then, the burden of life has suddenly fallen on Charlotte's fragile shoulders.

However, the strong Charlotte was not crushed by this, for the sake of her mother and her lovely sister, she worked hard to do the work in the library, and at the same time, she took advantage of her ability to write, and often took time out of the harbor to help the sailors or sailors who came and went to write letters, and earn the little money to support the family.

In this way, time passed day by day in these busy and fulfilling days of Charlotte, and with Charlotte's resolute and somewhat stubborn efforts, her family was reborn because of her!

Although Charlotte was tired and tired every day, when she saw the smiles on her mother and sister's faces, she felt that all that she had done was actually worth it.

A year passed quickly.

Sixteen-year-old Charlotte, the eldest girl of this flowering season, began to become more and more beautiful and generous, because of the constant busy exercise, which made her tall and well-proportioned, coupled with the fact that she often flipped through the collection of books in the library, so that she had a charming bookish air that was different from that of a civilian girl.

Calmness, perseverance, beauty, kindness, diligence and other qualities can be found in her, all of which make her begin to exude a fatal charm to the outside without realizing it! Even her simple burlap clothes couldn't stop the slightest!

As a result, every time she appeared in the harbor, the sailors who had been running the seas all the year round, even if they did not have any need to send letters, would wave their coins one by one, and rush to make her write the letter that might never be sent, so that they could see this beautiful girl up close at her little table.

There have also been some ill-intentioned drunks wandering the harbor, trying to take advantage of the little girl's advantage, or trying to touch the chest and face or something, but after a certain unlucky guy was cut off by a little finger with the dagger Charlotte carried, no one dared to bully this beautiful and strong little girl!

It's a pity that fate is not biased because of someone's resistance, and the word "red face and trouble" is not a joke. Especially in the Middle Ages, in this era of ignorance and chaos, a single-parent family, a widow's house without the protection of men, a group of orphans and widows, without enough strength to protect, doom will always come inadvertently......

So, in the year Charlotte was sixteen years old, the goddess of fate played a bad joke on her!

Jeffrey, the middle-aged owner in the library, has long been eyeing this beautiful civilian girl!

So, naturally, he took advantage of his position to lure this miserable girl into his director's office one night...... Originally, he thought that with his aristocratic status, he could oppress this girl to submit to him, but how did he think that when he tried to commit violence to her, he was directly cut through his neck carotid artery by this strong girl with a dagger swung out in a panic, and then, naturally, after his filthy blood splashed all over the ground, staining the entire office red, he was killed on the spot!

A nobleman with status and status, but died at the hands of a commoner girl, this is already a very serious crime here in Port Royal, no matter what!

Therefore, death has become inevitable for Charlotte, and all she can choose is the difference between a guillotine or a noose!

However, the evil nobles do not seem to be satisfied with this!

So the grudge-minded Jeffrey's wife reports to the church, accusing Charlotte of being an evil witch! Then, the church gathered a lot of evidence at Charlotte's home!

Those are the notes and some bold conjectures that Charlotte wrote after reading books in the library for three years! But it was these deviant things that made the church even more convinced that she was an evil witch! As a result, Charlotte's mother and sister, as a witch's family, were also arrested at the same time and burned at the stake!

Now, two of the three blackened stakes hanging next to Charlotte are her relatives...... Her mother...... and her sister, who was just ten years old......

Charlotte remembered what her mother said to her before she was executed: Charlotte, I'm sorry, but I, as a mother, have no power to protect you...... Then the fire consumed her mother, and the cry of pain echoed in Charlotte's ears for a long time...... For a long time......

Then, before Charlotte's tears were dry, the church's executioner, he walked in front of her sister again......

Sister, I don't hate you, but I'm afraid of pain!

These were the last words her sister had spoken, and Charlotte didn't know anything after that...... Even if the sun is scorching, even if it is in the hot summer, she seems to be in the boundless dark and cold hell......

Pain...... Heart-rending pain...... Not only physically, but also in her heart......

Charlotte felt that she would ...... later I'm afraid I'll never cry again, if ever after......

Because, her tears have been completely drained, and she is now in the dark, forgetting everything around her! Her heart, which was not very strong, was shattered into countless pieces by those villains, and then crushed into powder.

……

"Burn that witch!"

"Hurry up and burn her!"

"Burn her! Burn her! Burn her! ”

Around this square, the foolish and crazy people were still cheering and laughing loudly, and they longed for this rare amusement to last until the end, so that they could have a little more after-dinner conversation later......

A frenzied crowd of spectators was shouting wildly, but unbeknownst to them, behind them, on top of a carriage, a real witch, ready to go berserk......
