Father...... I ......."

Dazlet's voice trembled, and she said with a slurred voice, trying to justify something, but she didn't have the guts.

Everyone present did not dare to breathe, and looked at the prince who was slowly kneeling down with great solemnity, both surprised and quite understanding by his panicked and inexplicable expression.

After all, this is a direct face to the sun king Andrei.

Anyone who was watching him would tremble with the same nervousness.

At this time, Eberhard and the others discovered something, and looked at the foot of the throne in the distance, and there were still two blurred figures in the light, which seemed to have been standing there since they entered the kingdom of God.

A tall figure dressed in snow-colored white veil, shrouded in the light of bright stars. The other is wearing a cloak woven with colorful feathers, and his figure is full of life at all times.

The hearts of the people were shocked inexplicably.

That's the queen of the capital of the Far South, Priscilla, the king of the Celebrity! As well as the Pope of the Natural Sect, Lady Elk, Aisha!

The two have already negotiated with the Sun King?!

"The royal family of Trasur will release Sister Olmedo and Noah, the son of Blaise, today......

The majestic and indifferent voice echoed in the white square here.

The Silver Dragon Witch Blaise was stunned for a moment, then bowed to the throne in the distance, and the chief servant of the god Selma beside her also bowed his head.

The Cult of the Stars and the Sisters of the Church of the Moon followed, bowing down and saluting respectfully to the shining figure.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance and wisdom."

Blaise said in a deep voice.

The figure on the throne was silent for a moment, and then said:

"In addition, Crown Prince Tresur Dazlet will publicly apologize at the Fire Emblem Square tomorrow...... After that, he was also beheaded in the Fire Emblem Square."

「！！」

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Prince Dazlet, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more stunned, raising his head in disbelief.

"Father...... Father?"

However, what responded to him was only the dead silence in the light.

Dazlet's face turned pale and his body trembled, but he felt a biting cold in this obviously warm and comfortable white square.

"Why? Shouldn't I defend the dignity of the royal family and protect the faith of my martyred father? Father! What am I doing wrong?!"

Dazlet sank into a frenzy, her head down and roaring.

"For the sake of the Empire's prosperity and the fight against pollution, I have devoted countless efforts to the research of reagents containing the power of the sun, in order to create a transcendent army of its own empire...... Can't you see it, Father?!"

He raised his head, and his facial features were even distorted by the excitement of his emotions, revealing grief and unwillingness.

"Do you think that even so, I'm still no match for that sinner? But if it weren't for his incompetence, how could the pollution at the end of the darkness flood into today's situation......

"Duzlet."

The Sun King's indifferent and majestic voice suddenly interrupted the prince's words.

"My child, you're right, it's fate that is wrong, it's it that pushes you to a dead end, but as the crown prince, this is also the end you must accept...... I've seen everything you've done, but the so-called 'Seed of Light, the plan, is a very stupid and ignorant idea."

Dazlet was shocked.

The negation from his father directly shattered his faith.

With tears in his eyes, he looked up at the infinite light.

At this moment, for some reason, Dazlet saw a lot of strange scenes and pictures through tears as if in the light of the sky.

There were many unfamiliar but familiar faces and figures in the palace at different times, some of them were men and women, young and old, each doing something similar to himself...... Someone holds a meeting, someone secretly arranges, someone researches potions, and someone tries to get promoted.

But either way, these people seem

All unsuccessful.

Who are these people?

Dazlet suddenly had a puzzled feeling.

He didn't know why he had seen these strange sights, but he had a strong instinct that he was about to become one of them.

The next moment.

Dazlet's consciousness became trance-like.

When he came back to his senses again, the things in front of him disappeared, and he seemed to have forgotten something, and his eyes were dazed.

I just ......

What are you thinking?

I just ......

What do you see?

Duzlet fell to her knees with a blank face and empty eyes.

The majestic voice echoed in the white square again:

"Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

None of the judges present nor the high-ranking members of the Church of the Seven spoke up. The scene was cold for a long time, until the white-gauze woman at the foot of the throne spoke:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your understanding."

"Uh-huh......

A deep voice shook from the throne.

It's like a pause to announce the end of everything.

The light suddenly dimmed.

Everyone flickered for a moment, but they found that the scene had changed back to the royal council chamber, and the white square around it had disappeared.

At the exclamation of the chief steward Babaye, Prince Dazlet collapsed to the ground, unconscious. The five "Bathing Light Guards" hurriedly stepped forward, but this time, they were no longer there to protect, but to escort!

Clicks twice.

The unconscious prince was carried by a knight in golden armor, and the group of five strode outside.

Everyone present looked at each other and immediately remained silent.

It seems that no one could have imagined that the final result would evolve like this.

The next morning.

The Fire Emblem Square was already full of people.

In just one day, the people of the royal city learned the bombshell news, that is, the prince Dazlet will apologize and repent to the empire and the people on the high platform here, and will be executed in public.

Countless residents poured in with extreme shock.

No one could have imagined that this dutiful crown prince, this bold and repeatedly outstanding prince Dazlet, known as the "rising sun of the empire", would be executed!

The people who heard the news for the first time took it as a joke.

It wasn't until the royal family and the police posted notices and every newspaper made headlines that people began to take it seriously.

Their heroes have long been reduced to "imperial sinners" in the newspapers...... As for the heinous crimes committed, there are long entries in the notices and newspapers, the first of which is to expose the truth about the "massacre" that took place in the occupied territories after the victory of the Western War.

It was all instructed by Prince Dazlet, and in fact, human trials were carried out, and the exact death toll had already exceeded one million, which was even more than ten times the total death toll on both sides of the war.

The populace only found it ridiculous and frightening.

September 16, 4420 in the solar calendar.

A week after Prince Dazlet's birthday.

Fire Emblem Square ushered in the sunny weather for the first time in several days.

In the bright sun, the blonde prince stood on the high platform, but at this moment he had taken off his original luxurious cotton robe, and was simply wearing a linen robe.

Behind him stood Archsteward Babaye, and Frank, the chief clerk of the royal family. Both of them looked silent, and there was a hint of sadness hidden in Babaye's eyes.

「…… Article 17: I have abused my royal power and interfered in border diplomacy without authorization......

"Article 18, I have broken my faith and been disgraced, and I have broken the oath of the seven gods and persecuted the clergy of the Church......

"Article 19 ......"

The prince's hoarse voice came from the loudspeakers around the square. He recited more than 70 of his own crimes.

Finally, he opened his arms to the people.

"I'm guilty!"

Bang Bang!

The two knights in gold armor strode forward from behind, grabbed the prince, and dragged him to the huge execution table beside him.

Dazlet knelt in silence.

One last glance at the glare sun in the sky.

To this day, he still does not understand what his father is saying, and he is always confused...... At that time, in the white square, I seemed to see something, but I couldn't remember it.

Wow –

Just listen to a clang.

The knight in golden armor had turned around with his long decapitation sword.

Blood was spilled, and the prince's head rolled off, slamming on the high platform with a thud, and his face remained confused and incomprehensible, as if death was not as confused and terrible as in his heart.

The crowd was in an uproar and the sound was surging.

In the sky above the square, the golden sun was particularly dazzling.
