"I sentence these four to death, death by decapitation!"
I already knew it, still, I couldn't stop myself from gasping.
Following his nonsensical speech, all four of them were dragged to the stage and were pushed to kneel in front of the king. Three of them dropped to the ground but Victor. He was standing like a stone looking in the direction of the king. His eyes were ablaze. The soldier behind him hit his knee with the same rod he poked Henry. There was a trace of pain on Victor's face. Still, he was standing and his eyes were focused on the royals.
I turned to the king's side. Victor was looking at Edward. I understood that he was unwilling to kneel in front of him. I looked at the king expecting he would at least listen to what Victor had to say. Just like I've imagined, the king raised his hand and stopped the solder.
"Kneel!" the king yelled. Victor's face was nonchalant and it was evident that he was not going to listen.
