The commoners knew that they're invited to witness an execution, but in the past, no commoners would be able to see a live execution except for the victims.
Yet this time, there were so many commoners invited, and the royal family also invited many reporters, media companies, and so on to attend the execution.
It was all so that the media companies could quickly spread the news they got from the execution ground.
Such a big move, it was estimated that this execution not only involved a certain batch of victims but might involve the whole kingdom.
The capital city was already bustling with this event, and since the execution ground was chosen this time was at the capital's outskirts, it could contain so many people.
Even commoners who weren't invited to visit the execution ground also went to take a look from outside.
Anyway, they could still see what's going on even when they didn't enter the execution ground.
Almost half the capital city's commoners went to the execution ground.
The royal family had announced the execution thing, and so many commoners were curious.
There hadn't been any public executions for the past few years!
Public executions were usually only carried out for a sinner with a super heavy sin.
No wonder many commoners who didn't go to work on weekends like now, went to the execution ground to watch.
Even the nobles and other wealthy people also sent servants to watch the execution.
Some playful ones even went to the execution ground to watch some fun.
In front of such a huge mass of people, Mariella was calm.
She knew that there would be many witnesses, and it was naturally better for her.
Not to mention that after this, the media companies would release the news throughout the whole kingdom.
It was a turning point in Isabella's life to clear her image in the eyes of the kingdom's citizens.
At 8 o'clock sharp, all the commoners who got the invitation already entered the execution ground, while the on-lookers were kept outside of the field.
Still, this execution ground was located on a vast prairie, and the prairie could hold so many people.
More and more citizens came to watch, and of course, mixed among them were the rebellion troops.
Mariella had long known that there's no way a rebellion could happen so easily like that if there weren't any organization to lead the people.
These rebels...they had long been dissatisfied with Isabella's tyrannical behavior, and for the past two years, they had been enduring the tyrant's evil deeds.
Many of them were victims, and they were all inside the execution ground.
Most of them had confused faces as they inquired about the execution thing with other commoners.
"Say, what kind of public execution will we witness? I didn't know if there's anyone committing a heavy crime lately…"
The rebels snorted as they asked that.
'Only the little tyrant had committed enough crimes to be executed publicly!'
But the other commoners also didn't know about it.
"I don't know...but I have talked to other friends. I think most of them are victims of various events and regulations?"
The commoner looked at the rebel and put on a mysterious look.
"The kingdom's tradition said that only victims of the soon-to-be executed prisoner can enter the execution ground when it's time for a public execution."
"Yeah, I know that. But from what you said, I think we are victims of…"
The rebel didn't dare to continue, but he peeked at the royal platform above the execution stage.
He was clearly looking at the little tyrant who was sitting on a small yet luxurious chair.
The commoner also nodded and gulped nervously.
"Yes. It seemed to be the victims of Queen Isabella's various deeds for the past two years?"
And so...why would there be an execution?
The culprit who made them suffer was still sitting calmly, looking at everyone with arrogant eyes.
Don't tell them the next moment...that tyrant would be the one executed?
The rebels even thought that their leaders had planned to rebel at this exact moment, directly catching the tyrant and executing her.
But they didn't have any people in the higher-level society, okay? If not, why would they endure for years?
The commoners were confused, the rebels were even more confused.
However, under the eyes of so many commoners, the executioner immediately dragged the huge cage that they placed at a secluded corner to the execution stage.
Such a heavy cage would undoubtedly attract everyone's attention, not to mention the sound of chains and metals rubbing against the ground.
The dust from the friction rose slowly from the dry ground, obstructing everyone's sight for a few seconds.
And ten or so people dressed in prisoner gowns, tied and gagged, all of them were thrown into one huge cage.
When the commoners at the front saw this, many of them exclaimed in shock.
"Are they the death row prisoners??"
"It seems so! But how come I think that...they're all the cabinet' officials or ministers?"
The one who said that was one of the naughty nobles who were watching the scene from outside the execution ground.
Words spread fast, and in just a few minutes, almost everyone knew that those death row inmates were the prestigious officials and ministers!
Everyone was shocked for a moment before some of the rebels murmured to each other.
"Don't tell me the queen wants to execute a kind minister who sides with us?"
"Maybe those ministers and officials are like the previous one who was sentenced to death!"
Didn't know who said this first, but the innocent commoners quickly recalled the gruesome event with lingering fear.
The queen once killed an innocent minister!
