"Xiao Chen is dead." Ezio stood on the stage as he looked at the people. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the square, looking up at him. There were people on their knees behind him. They were the traitors and compradors. And there were people of high standing behind Ezio and Adrian.
Near him, stood his master, Yontu. He was one of the reasons why no one dared to challenge him when he returned last night.
The control of the formation was now in Adrian's hands, with his title, he was basically invincible. When they returned to the palace, Taro Mars was looking at them without any expression on his face. He seemed as if he didn't care what happened at all.
With the help of the formation, Adrian suppressed the rest of the rebels. There were too many people Xiao Chen bought or placed in high positions. The Vice-President of the Blacksmith Association, The Head of the Alchemy Association, the best Doctor in the Kingdom, and many more were at his side.
They were all caught and prisoned in a matter of minutes before Adrian walked to Taro Mars.
"I am the Purple King. I carry the Title and hope of my ancestor, and I will unite the Purple Lands once again. What is the Purple Gem Sect's answer?" Adrian said as he flared his Signium. The blue hue around it made people look at him in awe.
"The Purple Gem Sect greets the Purple King. We have long awaited your arrival, my liege!" Taro Mars kneeled on one knee, as he bowed his head.
"Then you may rise, Taro Mars. I will forgive your sins for this once because you were working for my ancestor's dream, and your actions weren't selfish." Adrian said. Envoys also kneeled, as they looked at their new ruler. Then, one by one everyone started to fall to their knees.
When the Third Prince was about to do the same, Adrian stopped him. "My brother doesn't need to kneel for me. From this day forth, Lan Baizhu is the King of the Azure Violet Kingdom!
The Violet Kingdom will join the Azure Kingdom. The sinful King and royal family will be put on trial. The new Prime Minister of the Violet State is Long Li."
Everyone except Ezio and the Third Prince was kneeling. All of them were looking at their new ruler in hope.
"It will be my honor, my liege!" Long Li said with a smile.
"Xiao Chen is dead. I killed him with my own hands." Adrian said as he looked at the people. "Tomorrow, his sin will be read."
"Xiao Chen is dead." Ezio stood on the stage as he looked at the people. Since he came up with the plan, and he knew the best, Adrian let him do the talking. "He is killed because of his sins.
He, a bastard son of the King of Violet Kingdom, was sent to kill the King of Azure Kingdom. On his way here, he learned his mother had an even stronger background, and he was a descendant of the Purple King. With the resources and people his mother sent, he poisoned the King. He put the blame on the Crown Prince.
He hoodwinked the Second Prince to execute the Crown Prince. The Second Prince was greedy, to begin with, and didn't miss the chance despite his brother, The Third Prince telling him otherwise. This led to the conflict and the war.
The war was instigated by Xiao Chen, so the trust the people had in the Royal Family would be shaken. The Second Prince wanted to sell Prince Moon to a sect in return for their help. With no other choice, she escaped in hopes of finding help. Help that can save the Kingdom. When she came upon Xiao Chen, she thought the heavens were helping her. She didn't know all of these were staged by Xiao Chen himself.
Mo Zan, the branch manager of The Purple Mirror, used her powers to charm both Princesses. Princess Moon thought she fell in love with Xiao Chen, while the Little Princes was tricked into believing she fell in love with me. For her sins, Mo Zan is sentenced to death." With his words, a knight walked forward and executed the woman on the stage. Her head fell, rolled over, and looked at Ezio in disbelief even in death.
"When he stopped the war between two princes, Xiao Chen let them and their men go. He wanted them to fight more, so he could have a better grasp of his rule. He had planted his men everywhere and bought off people in high places.
The Vice-President of Blacksmith Association, Dong Dong, for your sins, you are sentenced to death." A knight walked forward and cut off his head.
"The President of Alchemy Association, Xu Yong, for your sins, you are sentenced to death.
The Chief of Medicine, Zi Yu, you took an oath to help people, and never to put benefits before your oath. But you collaborated with Xiao Chen to prevent people from healing the King. For your sins, you are sentenced to death." One by one, Ezio read names and sins before sentencing them to death. Alein and other younglings had lighter punishments, but he missed no one.
"The Poseidon's Kiss Sect, from Leader to elders, their backers in the Water Kingdom, took the Fifth Prince under their protection. Then they sold him out when Xiao Chen offered them 100 virgins. My master, when he learned what they did, killed all the sinful people in the sect and let the slaves go." Ezio said once again before he looked at the sky.
"There was only one person who wanted to help the King. One person only!" Ezio said as he looked at the faces of the people. "He had the cure in his hand but was never allowed to walk into the palace.
Aodhfionn, my master! He was a friend of the King and wanted to help him. He risked his life for him whenever he could, and was framed and killed unjustly by Xiao Chen." Ezio said as a single tear fell from his cheek. "Xiao Chen was killed because of his sins, and those who supported him were sentenced today.
Let this be a lesson for all of you, there is a reaper above anyone who dares to threaten the peace of the rightful and wronged. I will be the blade of that reaper!"
Ezio turned back to walk away. Adrian walked forward and looked at his subjects. "The forest where Aodhfionn Blacksmith was from now on will be known as Aodhfionn Forest. A monument will be raised in his honor, and he will be an Eternal Hero of this Kingdom. Let his soul rest in peace."
"Requiescat in pace!"
