Back then, the minister was framed and then killed publicly.
The amount of people watching the execution amidst sobs and wails weren't small.
When the commoners heard the rebel's words, some of them were instantly frightened.
The minister's execution gave them a physiological shadow.
"Don't tell me the queen is going to make another new regulation for us. Is she going to raise the tax? And then these people oppose her, but…"
The commoners didn't continue their words and only looked at the stage in horror.
"The queen wants to silence good ministers again!"
All of them remembered how the previous minister was killed. It was like a slap to their faces.
The queen had never appeared from the start to the end, but she seemed to give them an invisible message and warning–
Look. No one can oppose me and my decisions. This is what's going to happen to those who oppose me!
The commoners didn't believe that the queen could be so cruel, but bad rumors, plus the castle servants' story about how violent the tyrant was…
Everyone gradually believed that Isabella was a child demon. She's a demon disguised as a human.
Everyone continued to suffer from the regulations she made, yet no one went up to oppose her– all because of that minister' tragic death.
Even the three dukes also believed that Isabella was evil.
This naturally wouldn't happen in reality.
After all, how could everyone be so dumb and couldn't see through the truth?
They only had to investigate carefully and would naturally get the evidence, just like Duke Fez.
But this was a novel world. What is logic? As long as the villainess could be formed, no one cared about logic.
They only wanted to condemn the villainess and watch the protagonist beat the villainess.
So satisfying!
But now, the world had manifested, and with a slight stimulant, these people with real souls and intelligence would naturally know the truth, sooner or later.
Mariella ignored the commoners' frightened faces.
Even when they gradually whispered and then looked at her with unkind gazes, the queen was still calm.
She looked up at Duke Fez and nodded.
"You can start the execution."
Right after Mariella said that, Duke Fez signaled the executioner to drag one person out of the cage and then quickly put them on the guillotine.
"Ahhh!" The commoners at the front instantly screamed in fear, and some of them even felt like crying for the 'kind' inmate.
The more courageous ones even started to shout at Isabella, not caring if the soldiers around them looked intimidating.
"How dare you harm another innocent official! What a tyrant!"
"Yes, yes! Is it not enough to kill the previous minister? You want to kill more people just because they oppose you? Despicable!"
Actually, the majority in the field didn't really know what was going on, but they already had a bad impression of Isabella.
They also didn't take a good look at Isabella who was high above, and only thought of those rumors.
So, when the rebels shouted things like these, they had a herd mentality and started to follow the rebels to shout out to the queen, one after another.
"Release them, you tyrant!"
"Don't harm the innocent!"
"Don't think that just because you're a kid, you can do anything you want!"
"Fake queen! Evil tyrant!"
No one knew who started the riot, but someone tried to throw rocks at the high platform, and soon, many more people inside the execution ground started to throw stones at Isabella.
TAK! TAK! TAK!
Even though the rocks couldn't reach the high platform at all, such a sudden riot was really dangerous.
Not to mention that the number of commoners inside and outside the field was simply large.
Once some of these people rioted, more and more people followed.
The aggressive ones even wanted to rush to the execution stage and helped the death row inmates!
The royal family members who were sitting behind Isabella couldn't help but panic.
The royal concubines along with their children, immediately looked at Isabella with pale faces.
"Your majesty, what to do? Let's run?"
"Your majesty, it's dangerous here!"
"Your majesty!"
The prime minister wasn't here, but his people were around Isabella. They also tried to make Isabella leave the field and stop the execution!
Seeing this, Mariella's eyes flashed with a cold light.
[Heh. Look, Monica. Some people don't want me to execute these people and want to keep using me as a scapegoat…]
Somehow, Mariella felt that this must be the world's subconscious trying to fix the plotline to the original one.
That's how this thing happened. Maybe the prime minister was the one behind this or other corrupt officials, but…
Mariella snorted.
"Duke Fez. Let your soldiers calm the masses, and don't let any of the inmates run away."
Mariella had long foreseen such a situation might happen. And so, she didn't hesitate to let Duke Fez use his military power to calm the situation.
Indeed, adopting Duke Fez turned out to be the key to solve any kind of problem!
Duke Fez nodded solemnly and immediately moved the soldiers to calm the masses.
"Calm down, calm down! Duke Fez is monitoring the whole execution. There won't be any injustice!"
"Duke Fez is here. He will not let any injustice happen!"
The soldiers used Duke Fez' good image to calm the masses. After all, Duke Fez was seen as the kingdom's hero in the eyes of these commoners.
It was easy to calm the masses by relying on Duke Fez' prestige.
Only...if this was another kingdom, the king or the queen might have suspected Duke Fez' intention.
Maybe Duke Fez wanted to rebel?
If so, the commoners would even support his rebellion!
