Kael stood in the execution platform bound in chains even at his last minute he still did not believe he was about to die
He raised his head searching for the crown prince's face, hoping he would come back to his senses and stop this nonsense, but Adrian remained silent and refused to meet his eyes.
His eyes went to his parents and family, his brother Lucien maintained that smirk on his face showing he was enjoying his predicament too much while his parents looked at him with indifference.
Kael felt something inside him break, a strange emptiness crept up inside him and replaced his anger and helplessness.
So this was the truth, the people he protected the most was the same people who abandoned him
The executioner stepped forward with a long blade that reflected the light, almost blinding to the eyes
"Kael Ashbourne," the executioner announced. "You have been found guilty against the crown. Do you have any final words ?"
