Bab 23: Death Sentence
"Brother Aizen, why are people gathering there?"
Before Aizen, Ana, and Axel traveling to entertainment venues and several shopping areas in Stanford City and continued to go to other cities. The crowd in Town Square caught their attention, even though Ana could access [Axel Goddess] that was connected to the system on Mars but she preferred to ask questions and rely on Aizen.
"Hm... That's a public execution of a serious crime defendant."
"Hmph! Bad people deserve to be punished!" Ana growled while pumping her fist.
"Hoho... Is that so? Then if I do evil do I deserve to be punished?" Aizen smiled wickedly.
"How come! Brother Aizen is the best! If Brother Aizen does something evil, he certainly has a reason for that!" Ana said with an adorable expression. This favoritism and her naivety who didn't know much about the dark side of humans made Aizen immediately want to caress her head gently. But his hand was still held by Ana, more precisely his two hands were still held by his two girls.
"Sister Ana is right, Master Aizen is a kind person in his heart. There is always a reason for his every action." Axel joined the conversation with a sweet smile on her face.
"Well, you understand me so well... After this, there will be a funeral procession for the victims of the battle yesterday. If so, we should explore another city first and come back later."
"Yay! Where are we going first?"
"Um! I don't like the gloomy atmosphere at the moment"
"Elyson City looks promising, let's go there first."
The three of them left Stanford City to explore the many places they would visit.
Meanwhile, when Aizen left Stanford City, many high-class nobles came to visit the city. At first, they came at the invitation of the City Lord of this city, but because there was an important event and continued by the official funeral procession of the heroes who died in battle, they arrived early and joined the event with the residents of the city.
One of them was Evelyn Azazel who had just arrived at Stanford City. Although Evelyn had canceled her visit with her troops as reinforcements against the previous attack on the city, because of an invitation sent by Thomas's grandfather to her, she immediately came to Stanford City like other high-class aristocrats.
In contrast to the aim of the other high-class nobles who only thought this was a high-class noble party held by the Stanford family, Evelyn had great hopes from somebody with strength in [SS Rating] to be able to help her difficulties.
A long brownish blonde-haired girl with beautiful braids adorned her head and greenish eyes stood proudly like a knight, accompanied on both sides by a long white-haired girl who has tied at the end of her hair with blue eyes on her right side and a long blond ponytail girl with green eyes on her left side. Evelyn, Eillen, and Rachel were watching public defendant Austin Mende's execution.
"Defendant Austin Mende. Due to his serious crimes for escaping during a defensive battle which could endanger the entire city as a General and impede information for reinforcements. Based on the laws that have been set beforehand... He is sentenced to death!" A Supreme Court sentenced Austin, which was approved by all family heads of the City Lord family.
"No! No! You can't do this to my son!" Someone does not seem to accept this decision, he is the father of Austin Mende, the family head of the Austin family who is the second strongest family after the Stanford family in this city.
"Mr. Randal Mende. You as a nobleman know for yourself what punishment awaits your son after what your son has done." The Supreme Court did not back down.
"My son! He is the only successor to my family! Wait, let go of me!" Randal Mende despite being held by several security officers shouted as if he wanted to pounce on the Supreme Court and save his son who was shackled in the middle of Town Square awaiting his death. Then Randal Mende was taken away to prevent further chaos by security officers.
"Eileen! Eileen Stanford! You can't do this! My Austin has been chasing you for a long time, and this is how you repay my son's love!?" This time is the mother of Austin Mende, Karina Harold tries to seek help from the Stanford family to save her son.
"I'm sorry, Madam Mende. I have never fallen in love with him and the punishment for escaping from a defense battle is a death sentence!" Eileen did not waver and answered firmly even though Austin was immediately sentenced for her report, but she did not feel guilty.
"You! You bitch! Let me go!" This time it was Karina Harold's turn as if to pounce on Eileen despite being detained by several security officers and taken away to prevent further chaos.
"Do you think they are part of high-class nobles like us?"
"I feel disgusted seeing them. The Mende family has fallen because they produce cowardly offspring like Austin."
"Hey! Don't say that. They just need to make a new successor, what's so hard about that?"
"You could be right. They are husband and wife who are young and healthy. Although giving birth to a successor is quite difficult lately."
"They just need to do night activities more often every day. Hahaha!"
"Pretty vulgar, but I like it! Hey what's your name, maybe we can become brothers Hahaha!"
"..."
People from nobles who came from other cities began to gossip about the fate of the Mende family and its successors.
Randal Mende and Karina Harold who were not too far away coughed up blood and fainted after hearing the conversation of the nobles.
Austin who could not explain his actions and could only wait for his fate after seeing his father and mother being taken away was finally beheaded.
The rest of the program continued with a mass funeral procession which was witnessed by city residents. Stanford City was grieved this morning due to the death of half of the troops who fought to protect the city yesterday and shrouded in a mourning atmosphere.
Many wives became widows, many children lost their fathers, parents lost their children, and lovers lost their soul mates. They all cry with the departure of their loved one from their lives.
