Hearing the decree of the blind prince, A feeling of dread fell on the court members. At first, they wanted to resist but after hearing the last sentence, They accepted their fate.
After all, an act of treason is the biggest crime that can be committed by the kingdom law. Not only culprits are punished with death by crushing their heads under the elephant's feet but their bloodlines also can't be spared. They will be hunted down, males in the family will be killed while the women will be sold as a slave. What's more no kingdoms will help those culprits or their families as there is that unwritten rule kingdom follows, No traitors are allowed to live.
That is why the act of treason is feared by many. No one wanted to implicate their whole lineage for it.
So soldiers came and led court members to a room to give them their punishment as they can't tarnish the sacredness of the court by shedding blood there.
